    The original seems like more chud malding about DMC making demons a direct Palestinian refugee allegory and though the show hasn’t been out for a week, fuck am I tired of chud takes on it “ruining the franchise” already…

      It’s weird because they forget the basics of DMC.

      Sparda was a demon and said “fuck this shit” and rebelled. Demons clearly have agency, and Dante is proof demons can have complex emotions because he literally named his shop after the comforting words of a friend after he realized he was mourning someone. That’s not even mentioning Trish’s entire backstory.

      So many of these hogs are just Disney adults deep down.

      DMC making demons a direct Palestinian refugee allegory

      It’s just such a bizarre move given how humans have never done anything but get constantly owned by demons for the entire history of the franchise. I don’t think they’ve ever even named an actually existing real country or nationality in any of the games so to make the series about the US doing imperialism on demons is a bit of a headscratcher

        It’s a plotline that didn’t exist previously sure, but I think there’s plenty of room for “normal” demons to exist alongside the very militarized traditional evil demon Mundus followers yknow?
