Paddle Paddle Paddle is a friendslop game with largely positive reviews, but that hasn't protected it from one of Valve's worst indie game policies

one of these ridiculous new terms for games made to be played with friends.

It also might have its roots in anti-semitic 4chanesque language too.

It's just a bad term all around.

    Anti-Semitic?! What?! How even hahaha

    It has roots in low-effort, especially AI/LLM stuff. Beyond AI/LLM, it often refers to stuff with low replay value or little gameplay time put out for streamers to play with each other for their audience.

    Where are you getting antisemitism?

    it can be related to the term goyslop. Just like the AI/LLM one can be in some circumstances.

    What is GOYslop??

    Edit:

    Wikipedia:

    Goyslop is an antisemitic internet slang term for ultra-processed foods, fast food, and other mass-produced products, framed by conspiracy theorists as a tool used by Jewish elites to keep non-Jews unhealthy and compliant.[1][2][3]

    The term is a compound word joining goy, a Hebrew and Yiddish word for a non-Jew or gentile,[4][3] and slop, meaning food waste or refuse of low quality.

    I just.... Everyday, I swear. At this point, maybe it's better to not know.
