The Postal dude hates everyone equally!
Hello, all Postal fans, I'm with you!
I love the "scissor running studio", I've played through all of their games, some several times. I attend almost all of Vince Desi's interviews and support his work, like many of you.
I wanted to write this post because I have been in the Postal community for quite a long time and have seen a lot of people, a lot of conflicts, one of which appeared literally "recently".
Dude hates transgender people?
The situation is funny - some person made a post in the style: āYour favorite character *insert sentence*ā, where the Postal Dude was added with the inscription: āThe Postal Dude is transphobicā - the developers, on behalf of the Twitter account, said that this was not:
Later, the next day, the developers released a post in which the Dude was introduced to us as a misanthrope - a person who hates everyone equally. Which was pretty obvious even without this, because people who play the Postal series of games could repeatedly hear this line from him: āI hate everyone equallyā or something like that - this was obvious back in 2003.
So what could such an act on the part of the developers mean, what did they want to say by first āsupportingā transgender people with their words, and then releasing this post as if they had renounced their words?
This means that he hates everyone: whites, blacks, Jews, gays, lesbians, transgender people and other completely ordinary people who live their lives. Not because he hates anyone in particular, but because he hates all humanity - read the meaning of misanthropy on the Internet.
The dude is an asshole and you're ready for this conversation!
Please remember that the Postal Dude is a bad person. He is a terrorist who kills innocent people - going back to the first Postal, the original, he wanted to kill even children and he was not ashamed. He is not the kind of person who will support someone simply because of their oppression in society - he is deeply indifferent to the problems of modern society, such as: the oppression of black people, sexism towards women, unfair mistreatment towards LGBTQ+ people, etc.
He hates everyone, regardless of lifestyle, sexual orientation or anything else - deal with it, he is not a good guy, but a sick person with a thirst for blood. Postal is the wrong game, Dude is the wrong character - and that's the whole point of the franchise we love so much. The game makes fun of a lot of things, it was made based on a real-life case of terrorism by a postal worker and the proposed idea of āācreating a "just a cruel person who kills for no reason" appealed to Vince Desi - that's why we have a person as cruel and controversial as the Dude in game.
Let's remember that in addition to the fact that the Dude has repeatedly expressed in his remarks that it is best to kill women and national minorities first, he also kills men, women, kids and animals without a twinge of conscience - and can even kick his beloved dog. We are talking about a character about whom the developers themselves speak as someone who is a terrible person at his core - so why do many of us try to humanize him, to find something good in him, some advantages or support for others?
Have you forgotten that in the Postal 2 before the update with multiplayer, there was a mini-game called: āF*ag Hunterā, the essence of which was that the Dude needed to kill 20 LGBTQ+ Representatives, and if he killed a heterosexual NPC, then he was forced go through again?
We are all people, we are all different.
There are many different people within our community: gays, lesbians, transgender people, people of different nationalities and views on life - and this is wonderful. Itās wonderful that we are all so different and live in a world where we can be ourselves. But please remember that the Dude would hate us no matter who we are, simply because we are part of a society he despises - and you have to live with that. Yes, this is bad, itās very offensive, but you are part of a game community where the main character is a terrorist who uses hard drugs and dismembers kittens.
If you want to feel support and love in your direction, then Paradise is definitely not for you. And don't try to argue with it - the Dude can't be fixed.
Thank you for your attention, I love and respect everyone - after all, Iām not the Dude from Postal!
I also want to add that you can have any headcanons, ship the Dude with your characters or create your own Dudes - this is very cool. This post was written as an appeal to people who forget about which game community they are in - there was a lot of negativity on Twitter under sub-posts from the developers simply because such a misunderstanding arose, which seemed to me simply stupid and to some extent funny.
This is the internet guys, do what you want, just please don't romanticize or think the things The Dude does are normal or laudable
