I intend to make such a page in the future. This page is pretty much a list for games & playable mods that have been controversial. Right now, I'm just listing them and adding a quick summary for later.

  1. The Guy Game (2004): aka "How to end up being questioned by Chris Hansen"
  2. Ethnic Cleansing (2006): We have a page for it, but it doesn't hurt to mention it in this list.
  3. RapeLay (2006): Dating Sim where the Protagonist gets to rape a mother and her 2 daughters. Got banned in Australia & Argentina for obvious reasons.
  4. Zog's Nightmare (2006): First-person shooter made by Jim Ramm (an alias for Matthew Ramsey, who is a member of this peacefull group). It's like Ethnic Cleansing, but with Nazi imagery and the lyrics from "Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right" twisted (main chorus goes like this: "You gotta fight/ For a white/ Country.").
  5. Moon Man (re-skin WAD made for DOOM II - Hell on Earth, TNT - Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment) (2007): Monstersprites changes with stereotype images of asian & black people (mostly the latter), this one feminist that every single gamer hates (someone by the name of Chanty Binx) and I think a Jewish banker (not sure what that sprite is that they changed the Cacodemon with, but it's an old bald white guy with a sigar and a big nose, so I guess this is supposed be a Jewish person)? Monsternoises changed with either sentences that this feminist said (when she appears on screen) or stereotype black people talk & monkey noises. While some play the satire card and maintain that this was all "in good fun", it is still clearly made to sow far-right racist sentiment. TL;DR: This is basically just Ethnic Cleansing but in DOOM.
  6. Zog's Nightmare 2: The War Continues! (2007): Same as the first, but even more racist. Has real imagery in it from the Holocaust & KKK murders.
  7. Ion Fury (2019): This.
  8. Cyberpunk 2077 (2020): Fetishizing the LGBTQ+ community (some tweets on GOG's twitter were concerning) (Resetera has a topic with a lot of stuff in it), largely funded by the Law & Justice party and the finishing product (basically, a futuristic GTA) not being what they promised back in 2013 ("Where Deus Ex meets Shadowrun").
  9. Guilty Gear Strive (2021): Season Pass 2 was released in August 2022, revealing that a crossdressing character named Bridget is now officially trans. Conservative gamers were not amused and send death threats to the devs. One does have to wonder why Conservative gamers had no problem with her when she was still labeled as a crossdresser...
  10. Hogwarts Legacy (2023): Rights borrowed by Warner Bros. until 2026 (something some Gamers don't wanna hear), but owned by this old hag. Several playing the game claimed that they were being harassed by trans people, despite not giving evidence that the perpetrators were trans. Game reviewer "Girlfriend Reviews" first claimed that she was crying on stream because of being harassed by trans people, then said that she wasn't crying on stream due to getting harassed but because of people calling her anti-trans. Claiming she isn't, because she donates to the Trevor Foundation (basically "I'm not against trans people because I donate to a charity. Also, leave Mah Childhood alone!". Vtuber Silvervale claimed to have received death threats from trans people, her and her family getting doxed for playing the game & that the word "trans" was automatically banned. This article debunked her lies. Aswell as BreadTuber Vaush debunking her shit after she went on Twitter to call them "Twitter Freaks" and that they "should go and protest on the streets for better rights, instead of bothering people who just want to play a game" (this should sound familiar, since another "victim group" said the same thing to certain other people back in 2015/2016). Her fans now hate Vaush, call him a "Horsefucker" and "Twitter Freaks" is now used on social media by the Alt-Right against LGBTQ+ people as a slur. Said tweet also mysteriously vanished around the end of March.
