But therein lies the heart of it all: the challenge of Apples to Apples is to work to distort the cards into something scandalous that will amuse the judge. When EVERYTHING is scandalous, the work's already been done for you.

Apples to apples has a whole lot of downtime rounds due to its innocuous and broad based design, whereas every topic card in Cards Against Humanity has a minimum standard possible innuendo

Bit off the topic now, but I'm gunna bring it back up again
Finished the LP of Analogue a Hate Story last night, coincidentally. I really liked it! Going to buy it and the sequel as soon as payday hits.
Wished it were longer and more in depth, but for what appears to be mostly (entirely?) a single person job, it's quite good.
The romance between your main character and *Hyun-ae didn't sit super well with me. The actual situation came off as her being desperately lonely, and getting feelings based on that which were then perceived by her to be romantic. Or at least, this is what I got out of how quickly her feelings went from "relieved to have someone to talk to" to "I am in love with you."
I guess this could also be construed as commentary on how most visual novel romances progress, but when you don't subvert the trope and instead embrace it, it isn't really commentary. It's just the thing. It could also just be construed as Christina Love not having all the time in the world to develop a more nuanced romance. I dunno, but in the end it came off feeling more than a little undeserved. *Hyun-ae as a character is very good, so how bare-bones the romance felt just didn't sit well.
Loved everything else. The Patriarchy in the game was pretty blunt and obvious, not really (I say this as Not An Expert) comparable to the much more insidious and subtle offenses of modern day, but it still had me step back to think a little. I do kind of hope what Love presents in the sequel will hit closer to home, though. I worry a bit that people would play this game and basically go "WHEW THE PAST SURE WAS SUPER AWFUL, GLAD SEXISM IS CURED FOREVER HERE IN 2013 AND THAT I, AS A WHITE MALE, KNOW WE'RE ALL EQUAL AND HAPPY!"
I think the issue is not anyone in this thread playing CaH, but the thousands of other people who don't realize that maybe mocking trans people isn't cool.
This stuff can easily reinforce shitty worldviews.

it may be blunt and obvious but she based it heavily off attitudes towards women during the Joseon dynasty and it really was that bad

Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, it worked really well in the game. I'd just really like to see her takes on the modern form(s) of patriarchy.
the cards against humanity booth has a sign on it stating it's a trans safe place
specifically using the triangle logo to do so
That is really surprising considering some of the cards in there
Eh, the game is just meant to be fun.
I highly doubt that any of the cards actually represent opinions held by the makers of the game.
doesn't matter! they're still propagating it!
By that logic any commentary tracks on anything that may contain views, jokes, opinions, that aren't completely PC should be removed forthwith and that is ridiculous.
Should comedians not be allowed to sell DVDs/CDs of their standup specials? Where the hell would you draw the line?

this sounds like a conversation that is going to devolve into the worst sort of argument
Let's talk about how I'm very seriously considering putting $500 toward the Mighty No. 9 kickstarter instead
Does anyone know if you can up your donation level after an initial donation
Yes, you can manage your pledge up and down real easily
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
i think i'm being fair in not outright demanding that we take all comedians who tell shitty bigotry-laden jokes and stuff them on a rocket to the edge of the milky way

whoa rockets take up a lot of time and resources to make, we shouldn't just throw one away
can't we just imprison them without trial

Those examples are also "propagating" the same types of things you may object to in Cards Against Humanity in many instances I would imagine.
Which is to say, they contain offensive materials and are products meant for entertainment. They don't actually have any larger agenda for subverting peoples outlooks or opinions though. That is some conspiracy theory level stuff.

I think so?
I really, really do not like it.

Real bummer playing with a group that didn't know what heteronormativity was, my playing of that card was aces.

It's not a game I wanna play for hours straight.

As of now, it still has its moments here and there but I couldn't sit through the whole thing anymore.
Absolutely, yes
One of my favorite series and a very, very small number of dud episodes
Plus the whole series is like $20 now and it comes with both TV movies
Absolutely worth it
It's also on Amazon Instant, I believe
life under my iron rule would first be turbulent but you would all learn to appreciate it
Gotta blow the dust off of this one
Everything Is Awful
Yes, you can manage your pledge up and down real easily

Welp
60 now
up to 500 next paycheck unless I have an unexpected expense
