So... Why are most games nowadays so... kind?

So... Why are most games nowadays so... kind?
Back in the day Pokémon, Animal Crossing and other games were super rude to you which motivated kids to become better.
Nowadays every fucking game that isn't a mature rated game is treating their player like a baby and the NPCs never say anything bad or insulting. Is this why zoomers are so full of "love, tolerance, and acceptance!" shit and get insulted so easily because never in their life has someone been bad to them?

leftists can't grow a thick skin and teach children not to

Honestly I don't think it's Zoomers, it's more Millennials pushing the sterilization of video games. Zoomers have fond memories of the early to late 2000s and how cool and edgy games were then.

Everyone deserves a participation trophy.

No, I think you're over-exaggerating the effect of video games too much.

When was Animal Crossing "rude"??? The only example I can think of is maybe Mr. Resetti, but even that was funny and lighthearted.

you are seriously overestimating the reach of video games

What's the point of ever improving if you're rewarded for mediocrity?

The cranky neighbors could be real dicks.

>pokemon was super rude
lmfao what the fuck

i found your problem, OP, your memory is fucked.

kinda funny, a hat in time had a lot of mean humor and yet who's getting upset at the game?

Precisely. There’s no point in trying

Ok I don't know why we have to sit here and make up fairy tales about the past

why are you playing games that are for children?

I'll be the devil's advocate and argue that maybe we all just grew desensitized to that shit. Perhaps the writing just hasn't caught up to the modern man and his obsession with buzzwords.

Animal Crossing was pretty rude and would have villagers actually call you an idiot and stay mad for a few hours when you fucked up.

Have you played a recent AAA game?

Blue and Silver say "sup, faggot?"

It's one type of villager that acts that way, and even then you're way overselling the rudeness factor.

Yeah, those two don't make their respective games "rude". Also they show up only a few times per game, and each learns a literal lesson about friendship in the end.
Wow so rude bruh like woah

Still, compare them to the later rivals who spend more time trying to be your best fwiend then they do actually, y'know, rivaling you.

Ok I guess that one aspect of the game in comparison to the others is different, but how would you look at that and declare that the whole game is rude? They're antagonists, and like I just said they both learn the error of their ways by the end
Man this topic is retarded

it helps the escapism factor at least

The point is that the old rivals didn't spend the whole game SUCKING YOUR DICK.
