It's unfortunate everything has to be broken down in this community on Lemmy, while it wouldn't be on reddit back when I posted to the original GCJ. I guess it's that the audience of the community itself is not big enough to overpower the confused people coming from All.

  1. In PC gaming, one of the biggest circlejerks is around Steam. As such, it's been reasonably mocked throughout the GCJ sub and called out via its wiki.
  2. Steam has the power to remove tags, as they did with Dustborn after weeks of coordinated misuse in the same manner, but their continued refusal to do even the most basic moderation is well-documented (e.g here and here).
  3. Pedos are definitely all over this game, complaining about the girl's clothing being censored, tagging in this manner, and using the crying emoji to dog whistle.

    Lemmy has fewer users. As such the average Lemmy user isn't going to be deep into a subculture such that they are going to understand every post without any context.

    When you have a million users and 0.01% have the same specific sub culture obsession to understand what you are writing, you'll get 100 upvotes.

    Eh... I used to spend a lot of time on GCJ, but it has been a long, long time. I get what you were going for, but in my view the posts there were more about LARPing Gamers. Imo this post fell in the uncanny point between that and open criticism, which is why it wasn't received well.

    Something like a "We did it Gamers! The cunny tag lives!" approach is what I would have expected I guess?

    And yeah, I assumed pedos were all over this game. And I know and agree that steam could moderate the tags and could do more. Genuinely didn't realise this was such a case though, and it seems niche to a general audience, which I think did help with the post's reception.

    On GCJ, where my posts always did well, everything is assumed to be written from the perspective of a Gamer, sarcastic and sometimes exaggerated by default, and if someone wants to be serious, they type /uj before their comment. Criticism is often implicit in posts on reddit's GCJ, such as this one. However, based on my own history here on Lemmy's GCJ and some basic observations, it's the serious posts that do best here, while the sarcastic ones do much worse. I try to break the mold, but it's not working so far.

    Edit: This comment made the same observation about my previous sarcastic post on Lemmy's GCJ. The post that did well for me here was one that could be taken either way.
