Well, that's telling of the direction the new Fable is going. I'm pretty sure something like that would not be out of place from previous Fable entries or the time period it takes inspiration from.

"We need a way for people to change their character post-creation. Why not a potion? What do we call it? Dysmorphia Juice!? Hah-"
The humble troon game dev:
Man, Mina the Hollower is so good but it's early game is gonna put a ton of people off and even at the end you have to overlook some of the flaws you can't fix with the customization systems. It's one of those games that just appeals to my tastes so specifically I'm still thinking about it a week after beating it - and also how it will likely be a long, long time before something else scratches that particular itch in the same way. If you like really good world and secret design that feeds into high character customization I highly recommend it, $20 is a steal especially in the current market. It's a shame it'll do a fraction of Shovel Knight's numbers because it's way better and I want more of it and they'll probably fall back on Shovel Knight instead.
Harry Potter - banned for tranny butthurt
God of War - banned for toxic masculinity
Five Nights at Freddy's - banned for right wing creator
some of the others seem to be banned for sexual content
Been playing the playtest for My Cannibal Family and it's like crack. It's co-op Tecmo's Deception with Manhunt style execution mechanics filtered through an EC Comics lens and it's going to be a definite day one purchase for me assuming it gets some polish and revision.
About to start the Dark Heresy beta/playtest. The hype is real.
Edit: Christ, game still cooks my graphics card no matter which graphic settings i try. Unity can't die soon enough. So far the game is fucking excellent and i haven't even been in combat yet.
The list is just: no AO games or games otherwise banned on Twitch, with a number of examples that (presumably) people kept submitting runs for like Huniepop (which is also an example of banned games on Twitch's list) + Harry Potter and FNaF. Here is the oldest archive of the GDQ list, which was probably made when Hogwarts Legacy released specifically for the purpose of banning that game. Obviously, this was an extension of the failed tranny boycott of that game. As for FNaF, it's probably not for political reasons, it's more likely that they got sick of people submitting FNaF challenge runs (I also heard that one of the games is a photosensitivity problem). Worth mentioning that the final bullet point is supposed to be an asterisk pointing out that some FNaF or Harry Potter submissions may be accepted, although I wonder why they put an asterisk there for Harry Potter.
I believe some of the PS1 games for Harry Potter (Sorcerer's Stone?) have noteworthy speedrunning communities build around them, so this is probably their way to try and accommodate that specific little slice of the community.

In regards to banned games, was there a time where a game company tried to or actually filed a DMCA claim on a speedrunning livestream, because they didn't want their game to be featured in there?
And is it still a thing where a game company will DMCA you for livestreaming their game? Spike Chunsoft tried to do that to people that streamed Danganronpa V3 past the 1st chapter of the game, but then dropped that and allowed people to stream the game in full, as long as there is a Spoiler Warning when you play past the 1st chapter.
I don't understand how we can simultaneously live in a culture that has completely normalized pornography and Onlyfans, while also making video games, a predominantly male space, completely desexualized.

I'm not aware of any DMCA claims or strikes against a speedrunning livestream, however there are definitely cases where games companies have issued DMCA actions against let's plays, most notably the Nintendo Creators Program, which led to a chilling effect on Youtube where most people just chose not to talk about Nintendo games, and was likely a significant factor in Nintendo's lack of success during the Wii U era. The reason why this doesn't happen anymore is that games companies realized let's plays are free advertising, and they're so effective that some companies even pay streamers to play their games. I personally never paid attention to visual novels, and I have no idea if what you're saying about Danganronpa is accurate, from their website it looks like it's specifically a policy in Japan and is still in effect. With that being said, it makes sense that big name visual novel companies would do that, even in the Youtube indie horror space there are people who kvetch about how popular "horror explained" is compared to the source material, with Nexpo's Gemini Home Entertainment video getting almost as many views as the whole series combined, for example. I also know that Chunsoft has a retarded history of refusing to accept that visual novels are a very niche genre, even in Japan. My perspective on this is that there is definitely some anti-advertising effect of visual novel let's plays, just like there is for other let's plays or for movie reviews etc, and there is probably a higher proportion of sales lost through vicarious playthroughs for visual novels than other games, but that it's probably more beneficial overall to just let people stream the game.
As for whether they have the legal right to DMCA people over let's plays, as far as I'm aware this has never been tested in court, but the outcome of a copyright lawsuit against a let's play would likely depend on the kind of game being played, I think Spike Chunsoft would be likely to win a lawsuit over Danganronpa, but Square Enix would be unlikely to win a lawsuit over Final Fantasy.
