Apologies to Color Splash Fans

Discussion

For the longest time, I absolutely hated Color Splash. It was this extremely unfun, cringe, and lousy game that felt like an insult the moment it was announced. I just couldn't believe that it was real, that they'd take all of the Sticker Star mechanics and ideas, that people criticized so harshly, and implement them again, sometimes in worse ways. I hated the game so much, and I didn't want to see it.

But, I changed my mind. Recently, a post came to my attention that was analyzing CS from a deeper perspective, and it connected to me. I've realized, that CS, was in fact trying to send a message about our world and how it's structured. I rejected it at first, but remembering the game, it really dawned on me just how much the game wanted to convey. I've always been a firm believer, that your worth is dictated by what you are, and me, being a white man, I've always seen myself as somebody of a lineage worthy of respect. I've broken toys, I've hurt people, I've done bad things, but I come out unpunished, and that's because my social role is important, and my ancestors covered for me, and I should respect those who are like me, in this case, the Toads.

Being able to play this role, in Color Splash, has now made the game a very cathartic experience, it's a game that really voices the ideas that everybody's too scared to admit, and I love it. It's been a long time since I've had fun with an actual role-playing experience in a game. I'm very sorry, Color Splash fans, I hope that you guys are able to enjoy your game more peacefully in the near future.

I gotta admit, OP, you really threw me for a loop with that twist. So I guess this is in reference to that Color Splash is racist post or something?

Yes, it is indeed that post. Masterwork of a post that one, ain't it?

It sure is! One of the hallmarks of this sub, in fact. Glad it's finally getting the appreciation it deserves.

Do you have a link to it? I can't actually find it again for the life of me. Can't remember what the title was.

I did originally include it with this reply but... I don't really think I should post it for the sake of the person's dignity lol
