I am sick of LGBTQ media being dominated bs soulless corporate Marvelian horseshit so I need some recommendations outside of shitty hentai comics. My favorite media types are anime and video games.

Signalis very quickly became one of my favourite games of all times. In the end it turned out less anti-communist than I initially feared, mostly due to it’s story being not really about politics.
I definitely simp for the space DDR though.
Oh I see, that’s actually good to know, most of my impressions of the anticommunism in the game come from very early on with the total surveillance, ammo being “property of the state” bullshit and then from the way lore was being phrased as I was playing.
But I agree the aesthetic is amazing. Space DDR fucks.
Well, there are some anti-communist tones in the portrayal of the game’s setting, but ultimately neither the characters nor the game itself doesn’t have much to say about the politics. Its themes are much more personal, and the politics are mentioned only in passing. The DDR aesthetic is a set dressing.
But it does fuck.
Edit: I should also mention that the aesthetics at least partly come from the 1970s DDR sci-fi flick “Signale”, which I didn’t watch. Maybe they’re just the authors channeling their childhoods?
Got it, I’ll finish it eventually, thanks for informing me about that.
Also I didn’t know it was somewhat inspired by a movie, I don’t think I ever seen a movie from the DDR, I’ll probably watch it if I can find it online, thanks for pointing it out.
