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.
