When cozy games are deemed decidedly “uncozy” | ACNH
Inspired by the Two Scoops podcast featuring @NintenTalk and @BWICK (watch the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVUzmcCmc-E &t=1397s), we talk about “subtle violence in cozy/wholesome games” in response to this article by Mark Delaney on Gamestop: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wholesome-games-are-awkwardly-comfortable-depicting-violence-against-animals/1100-6506018/
Obviously this is my opinion, and in the grand scheme of things… it isn’t a big deal. But how did you feel about the article? How do you feel about hunting/fishing mechanics in “cozy” games?

The sweetest most innocent little kid showed me around a party house in VR Chat. He hated the inappropriate rooms. We also met bullies.
