Can't believe I have to do this-


Apparently, some people bought into the false narrative of those trying to cancel me. 

And took the second half of this game, as a literal... real life expression of massacre, being done by me. And then treating me as someone who has already done it in real life.


Perhaps they are unaware, that I put myself as the main character in almost all of my games. (Except False Spaces)

And all of my games feature violence and disturbing themes. 

And almost all of them, take place in abstract spaces. Like in a dream, digital space, or after-life, e.t.c 

(This is the 7th game...)



And so, I updated this game's description. To let people know, to not take the second half of this game too seriously. 

A babe put it eloquently, calling it "Hater May Cry 5" XD 

Now, this false narrative has gotten the game many 1-star reviews. But because there are 5-star reviews as well, I am confident that my game has enough quality to it.

And so please, do play the game. Then rate and review it. To offset the 1-star reviews based on their false narrative.

Thank you so much.

You used a "dreamspace" to depict real quotes from real people after which a depiction of you, a real person, attacks them all. It is pretty clear to me that the message is not "I want to kill all of these people". Nonetheless, that does not make this any less tasteless.


Please try to consider the perspectives of the people that you've appropriated into your game. Would you feel it was justified if another developer took things you've said out of context into a game where they "ban" you with a katana?


This is not an appropriate way to address criticism, and I'm frankly a little disgusted.

"You used a 'dreamspace' to depict real quotes from real people after which a depiction of you, a real person, attacks them all."

Ah... what? Are you in your right mind Sawyer?

First you try and say "dreamspace" in quotes, as if it's not an actual thing. When the opening graphical style, is realistic.

And then as the digital/dreamspace begins, it changes the graphic-style completely to support that. 

Then you read an insane amount of chatter about the MC, which includes:

- Pirating his work

- Making false accusations towards him and his work

- Filing reports against them, with the intention to get them taken down

- Making up catchy and insulting names for him

- Probing him and spying on him to get more evidence to damage him

- Downvoting all his social media posts to decrease their visibility

- Getting him actively blacklisted from communities

- Banning him from their own communities, cutting off his access to other devs

- Wishing death on him

- Calling him the worst names

- Encourage shit-talking his mother

- Repeatedly insulting his fans, followers, or any person who defends him for any reason

- Calling the fans cultists

- Review bombing his games

- Plotting to write negative articles to mess up his search results and damage his name & brand

and so much more...

And when the MC confronts the person leading & encouraging all this. She literally reveals "Yeah, I know you're not going to do us any harm. You just make us uncomfortable. So just go away from this place where you spent & contributed to for years." (Not an exact quote. Just giving the idea.)

And when MC does not follow through with her demand. The same person, completely flips. And says to her followers that no, MC is out here to harm them. And gives a call to violence. (That has actually been said, Sawyer.)

So as a mob all come and attack the MC.

He defends.

And you just shortened all the above to: 

"You used a 'dreamspace' to depict real quotes from real people after which a depiction of you, a real person, attacks them all."


Please Sawyer. Never play my games again. 

Because if this is your capacity to understand. And I have to write this long of a text... to correct you to defend myself.

It is better you don't play my games. (Which I know you don't) So I never have to waste time doing this sort of thing ever again.

"Would you feel it was justified if another developer took things you've said out of context into a game where they "ban" you with a katana?"

Sawyer... buddy... they've been doing worse than that. (╥﹏╥)

I didn't name any of them. I mixed, sometimes edited, and distributed those quotes (from the same person) among many NPCs. Making sure the ideas are there, not the person. And I made a game about it. With a story, and some action. 

That's what I did... right now. But what did they do? What have they been doing? 

They took what I said, out of context. Named me, having said those things. Having meant, something completely different. And then use that, to say and do all the above. 



------

"This is not an appropriate way to address criticism..."

Keep making stuff up, to be bothered Sawyer.

I didn't make this game, to address criticism. I made this game... to deal with the harassment that has been happening to me.

A harassment that has been escalating... and escalating...


I made this game, also because what these people have been doing... has been wasting my time. (In having to defend myself repeatedly, in front of some authority or mob.) 

And since I'm a game dev, and I have to deliver quality games to gamers. And so for wasting my time, I took their quotes, and their plots, and what they've been doing to me... as content. To make this game within 2 weeks. 

I'm super proud of it.

And people who have been enjoying my previous games. Are enjoying themselves with this one too.

"and I'm frankly a little disgusted."

It is the height of narcissism... that people, who have never played any of my games (you). And vocally dissociated themselves from me... (you) 

Suddenly come up, and decide to say they're disgusted of me. Or that they're disappointed. 

These sort of comments only matter Sawyer... if you ever, held a high opinion for the person before. And you had let them know before.

Unless... your comment is not for me. 

And It is to appeal your allegiance to the mob that has been after me. 

Sure... save yourself.

This game revealed a LOT of HOES in this RPG Maker Community. Just to play victim to justify the unjustifiable.

(Context: this user has been spamming similar comments on my posts and games)

This is islamophobia. 


I have not treated any person with disrespect or harm. This individual (and these people) cannot produce a single evidence of me mistreating anyone. But because of the laws of my country (Pakistan) and my religion (Islam) says public LGBTQ activity is illegal. They have been relentlessly attacking me, and harassing me. And saying these absurd things.

All to get attention, claim fake-victimhood, and manipulate people's emotions into supporting them. 

Instead of responding to these people, I made a game on this subject. (Click here) To explain their tactic and their attacks to everyone. That they have subjected me to constantly for a month.

I played the game and I didn't get that vibe. That scene struck me as him standing up for himself against a group of people who were giving him trouble rather than give valid criticism.

Hello, I do understand your concerns that the drama appears to happen for literally no reason and that our friend here is an innocent victim that has done nothing wrong and that all he does is make games. However I want to advise against narratives which people would literally go around acting like cartoon villains and do evil things for literally no reason. 'Things happening for no reason' is an oxymoron, people do have very limited attention spans and are selective of what they do with their time. One of the most important skills for conflict resolution is to understand all sides of the argument and that means outreach is necessary. I'd be willing to make that connection and contextualize what's going on. Would you be interested?

One individual who is against him showed me and I still don't see how they can be that aggressive.

(+2)(-4)

My rule of thumb is that if I don't understand how someone is that way, I don't fully understand them. Would you be willing to put in the effort to understand what's doing on, or would you rather let this drama stay being as mysterious as it is?

(+2)(-1)

Mate, I know the context. That is literally what I said and I said that I disagree with those people. Me disagreeing doesn't imply a mystery. It means that I have seen the case that they have brought and I disagree.

It is absolutely horrific what you have done, and continue to do Gensun. 

I just deleted around 50 spam messages, from the person you're trying to speak up for. 

And who you have been constantly encouraging throughout all of this.


You're encouraging someone who is clearly, mentally unwell. And they have said this in front of you, repeatedly. 

They have unlimited time, and are mentally ill. So you're using them as plaything, to encourage and then harass me, and the people associated with me. 

This is just... sad.
