We have a free game intentionally designed to help teach adolescents about healthy relationships. It is regularly played in schools.

Today I saw a review complaining that this sweet game is "indoctrinating children" and other regressive nonsense.

    😞 Disappointed this bigoted, harassing review is still on itchio. We reported it back in March.

    It's about our charity's prosocial healthy relationship video game for teens called HONEYMOON. 💑

    ❗The reviewer defames us for "indoctrinating children" because it's free for educators & parents.

    ❗Player autonomy seems to frighten the bigot because the game allows for same-sex relationships. (New update will include non-binary.) 👬 👭 👫

    ❗The abusive partner in the game can be female OR male but the bigot claims "misandry"?

    ❤️ See for yourself -- play in your browser right now. Free. No ads.

    [PLS LEAVE A NICE REVIEW! 🧡]

    If conservatives hope to pass on their systemic bigotry, they have to teach teens the kind of narrow minded values that feeds racism, xenophobia, misogyny, economic exploitation, homophobia, antisemitism, ethnic cleansing, and religious wars.

    Anything that threatens their "Might Makes Right" worldview like games, affordable housing, books, public education, public health, a functional constitution, election integrity, or fair wages, etc will be attacked.

    Rachel Maddow's "Prequel": the same tropes existed.

    "The German propaganda operation in America, according to the first U.S. academic study on the topic, identified these kernels of disturbance as “racial controversies, economic inequalities, petty jealousies in public life,” and “differences of opinion which divide political parties and minority groups.” Even the “frustrated ambitions of discarded politicians.” Germany’s agents were tasked with finding these fissures in ...

    ....American society and then prying them further apart, exploiting them to make Americans hate and suspect each other, and maybe even wish for a new kind of country altogether. A partisan, bickering, demoralized America, the Nazis believed, would be incapable of mounting a successful war effort in Europe. It might even soften us up for an eventual takeover."

    That's where conservative values lead.
