Kind of an odd anecdote, but I remember when bronies were a thing, they legitimately made an entire community effort to scrub all the porn and adult-target content from My Little Pony searches so kids won’t see stuff like the Rainbow Dash cum jar when they look up MLP.
Kinda wish more internet communities made that kind of effort to clean stuff up so kids aren’t desensitized to horrible stuff early on.
EDIT: hot damn, the post is still up for those curious about the brony stuff
But gamers don’t actually need to understand game design or why a certain choice was made.
I said this in another thread: if it’s a shit design, it’s a shit design. Knowing why the shit design was made does not suddenly make it not shit. In fact, I do not care to know why you made that decision in the first place - if it’s bad, then just own up to it and either try to fix the issue or actually resolve to do better next time.
