Ongoing Corrections: Akuma uses they/them pronouns, and it was my mistake not to double-check when interviewing them. I also got the Nagasaki bombing date wrong, and that is a bit embarrassing. When talking about the move being learned at level 89, that is a possible reference to August 9, 1945, and not September 8.
PokéRogue is a new and popular roguelike Pokémon fangame. Recently, it has been the target of controversy after lead developer Sam quit because of… Jesus? And then, users reported being banned from PokéRogue’s official Discord server for defending trans rights and thereby indoctrinating 13-year-olds?? I investigated what happened, talking to players and team members to tell you a story of how we manage our fan communities, and about how political video games can be.
