so I've been seeing several "snoot game" related material show up in my inbox here over the past couple of months. I've been keeping my mouth shut considering it's a 4chan game and generally speaking, the sort of people liking that game aren't likely to be the kinds of people I would have a pleasant conversation with it on.
For all of you who don't know, it's a parody game of a graphic novel(?) game that was in development hell recently and a major part of it involves the main character, who is Non-Binary, De-Transitioning and "reforming". I know there's a lot of people who like to argue over how "Anti-Trans" it is but I don't know, after being shown some screenshots from the developer straight up saying that this was meant to be an anti-trans message or however they worded it, I don't know, just seems really fucked up to take someone's trans character and de-transition them for a fucking joke. not really the kind of shit I would like to ever see in my fucking life, not something I ever want to imagine people I support encouraging. let's just say that anyone I've seen draw fan art of this shit, I've already unfollowed at this point. The whole thing is just fucking gross and shitty and not something I want to associate with in the slightest. If you want to spread the word, I wouldn't mind in the slightest. The whole thing is just been making me feel sick to my stomach lately and I have to remind myself that most people aren't this shitty. deep breaths.
fun fact, the same developers went on to make "I want to /hug/ that gater" or whatever. Don't know if there's anything shitty in that game, don't care, not interested in giving these people money.
edit note: No, I haven't played Volcano High yet, I don't know when I will, everyone I know personally who played it liked it, and people I don't know say that it's apparently shit. honestly it doesn't matter because even if you fucking hate that game transphobia is still transphobia.
edit edit note: I'm coming off of a joint right now so sorry if any of this is an absolute mess to read. I've been holding off making a journal about this for a while because honestly I just don't want to fucking deal with this shit. I'm already incredibly depressed and irritable about the world at large right now, I don't really need any more of this shit infecting the few spaces I would get joy or drive in.

I dunno anything about the game, so what gives?
The two 'good' endings are where they return to using their birth name and settle into traditional 'tradwife' gender roles as a part of the protagonist. Make of that what you will, and do your own research if you're undecided.
It definitely smells like 4chan
it's pretty blatant
Maybe saying people arguing for it being "trans-friendly" is putting it a bit far because I guess they don't have a leg to stand on really
Which is probably poor taste to say the least.
I have kinda noticed in the internet or at least circles, it felt like there was more general respect like "I disagree with you, but i still respect your right to have a different opinion. I'd even fight for you to express it" antics in the pre 2016/ "covid is a hoax, die to help my tv ratings" trump era.
Politics fell apart and i've kinda noticed too. Im not trans but i had a couple herm characters. I'm not a big pronoun guy but when i ask for a he/him scene involving a differing M top. Usually there'd be a 10-40% chance i'd start getting words like "tranny" or various slurs or just like intentional "I don't care if you want to be a he/him. I want to fuck a She/bitch"
Except it was more typed like "I DON CAR IF U HE. I WA FUK BIT"
Whatever going on, rp quality and common courtesy really flung down the drain and i've learned not to expect much from the internet anymore.

They also made a "response" to this in which they ignore most of the document and told basically all of the people who worked with them on SG and Wani (i.e. actually made the art and wrote the story) to off themselves.

TL;DR they're liars and con artists and whinging losers who use kiwifarms and can't handle criticism or literally any level of disagreement with anyone. They can be safely disregarded.
Edit: wait, am I misunderstanding the context with GVH, judging from WolfNanaki's comment? I assumed you were saying it was made from the same channers.
It seems like there's a big audience in places like South America. An apparently diverse group of folk who enjoy the vibes and the fact it's free. It's still shitty to me that their first exposed to the characters in from a spiteful fang game. But apparently there's even talk about how they can't relate with the North American suburban vibes of Volcano High. And that they've claimed Snoot for themselves.
I could get that... but I had to admit that when someone comes in trashing Volcano High and talking up Snoot, I have to put my guard all the way up. No amount of trying to say it's been "reclaimed" is going to wash away the stink around it for me.
And, like you said, I played Volcano High and really enjoyed it. Know way more people who liked the game than the supposed mass outpouring of people who hate it. Sounds like Capital G gamer/gooner shit to me.
-On a side note: Extremely hate the whole Anon thing. Playing as a literally faceless dude and to go about and fix queer characters sucks so bad.
Note 2: Cannot stand the way Snoot folk act when confronted with the transphobic and conservative elements of the game. "Why are GVH fans so mean? Can't we all be friends?" MFer, you're the one trying to say the conversion therapy trad-wife game is not that bad.
I'm just ranting at this point. Sorry. It's extremely frustrating, yeah.
