Instead I seek to ask and answer an easier question: If that’s what you’re after, I implore you to seek those answers elsewhere. In fact, other writers have done a decent enough job at talking about how the game might perhaps be considered offensive, with respect to sex, race, and gender.

Some might gloss over those problematic elements entirely, some would fail to see how these so-called ‘problematic elements’ are, in fact, problematic, or how these things tie into the quality of the work as a game. To simply write all that off as ‘bad’ would be willfully ignoring just how bad it is- but, well, that would be my personal bias and philosophy talking. For beneath the surface of this innocuous (heh.) sex-themed puzzle game lurks a snarling, angry beast of entitlement and puerility, a monument to the toxic masculinity that society is all too willing to glorify. Perhaps more accurately, it would be doing what the game represents a disservice. To call HuniePop a bad game would be to do it a disservice. Let me begin by saying that HuniePop is not a bad game.
