If you want people to actually play your game you shouldn’t be trying to “gatekeep”. Even if you made the most normalgay pandering game there is no guarantee anyone will play yours unless you work for an established company so you shouldn’t worry about that.
keep your content niche. don't generalize or appeal to normie tastes. normies don't appreciate uniqueness or properties that don't align with sensational or trending views.
>normalgays
Impossible. Your best bet is to make it very technical in order to keep only the most fortuitous and steadfast.
>mentally ill
Pander to normalgays. You don't want them a part of the community, which is impossible because they will try to infiltrate and change it to fit their status quo, so the best you can do is simply ignore them and fulfill literally any other request. Would be easier to teach a horse to distill water.
Don't have a public means of contact. Do not advertise through Twitter
Nobeta was made by a Chinese living in Japan. e-girl may still be acceptable there, but the West and it's payment processors still go after e-girl in over here. If only to protect the business of their pedophile leaders.
ideally have no community server or forum
if you grow too big, you could try making your own official community alongside like-minded people and making it be the way you deem non-cancerous
You can't, there will be people of all demographics that will enjoy a game, if you want to keep normies out you must simply commit to a complex and technical gameplay that will only attract spergs like me and you.
Trannies are undesirable but unavoidable, you'll have to simply roll a dice and hope it lands on larger ration closeted racists instead of mentally-ill homosexuals.
An interesting phenomenon I've noticed is that, the more autistic a fandom is, the more polarized it becomes. For example, MLP might be the most autistic fandom out there, and it's quite literally a perfect 50/50 of trannies and nazis.
>gatekeep normalgays/mental ill
If normal people can’t play your game, and abnormal people can’t play your game, it sounds like you want nobody to play it.

Make your own alphabet
Don't teach how to read it
Scramble how to progress in the game
Make the character boring looking girl rolling eyes style or extremelly weird

Every game with any sort of traction will gain a community of autists so you should just accept it will happen to your future game as well >normalgays

Include an obnoxious token troony character that dies in the most gruesome fashion possible. Laugh as the troony suicide rate skyrockets for the next month.
>what's the best way to gatekeep normalgays/mental ill out of the community
I mean, pretty much avoid anything you'd see on /misc/. That's pretty much it.
Stand up for yourself. That's all you have to do, and is the only thing people these days DON'T do. >Does this game have anything diverse in it? >No. >Is [x] gay? >No. >Is [x] an allegory for trans acceptance? >No.
these will take care of 99% of normalgays, but OP's going to have a hard time getting rid of the mentally ill, because gamers are mentally ill as hell, so angling for the purist audience will get you 100% mentally ill playerbase
No way to keep the flaggays out entirely because they basically are normalgays at this point, but if you pander to Ganker culture and edge without ever actually acknowledging it outside the game, they will grumble and filter themselves out.
Furry character designs filter normalhomosexuals.
furries ARE normalhomosexuals though :/
>furries ARE normalhomosexuals
if no one is playing then why making a game in the first place?
That would put me in trouble in the year 2010+13 aka the post American election era
What trouble?
If you want people to actually play your game you shouldn’t be trying to “gatekeep”. Even if you made the most normalgay pandering game there is no guarantee anyone will play yours unless you work for an established company so you shouldn’t worry about that.
OP also said mentally ill so that wouldn't work
Furries are mentally ill.

Make the game difficult, restrict peoples options when it comes to char creation if that applies, that's literally it.
>Make the game difficult
lol this tbh, normalgays hate challenge
Yes! This so much! Make a game like a Windows 95 game like Myst. No more handholding.

Pander to normalgays. You don't want them a part of the community, which is impossible because they will try to infiltrate and change it to fit their status quo, so the best you can do is simply ignore them and fulfill literally any other request. Would be easier to teach a horse to distill water.
your game won't be that popular, don't worry about it
e-girl fanservice.
>WITHOUT getting in trouble
If fricking Little b***h Nobeta gets away with it, you probably can

Make a game that doesn’t appeal to many people
Characters should use racial and anti-semitic slurs often
Make a pillory of the ones you dislike and have it be mandatory content in the game.
Just say Black person on twitter
ideally have no community server or forum

r/game_community will pop up overnight and become the default hub for normies, "official" or otherwise
rock ejector is a knot sea

Literally just don't let anyone stream your game on twitch. Its that simple.
This tbh. You can copyright strike people on YouTube and twitch for posting videos like Nintendo used to do
A very high price point.
Have an anime art style with busty babes.
go back to Ganker
filtered
Anime artstyle is a beacon for the mentally ill
only smart autistic people with a semi-realistic anime style. Either way OP hates money.

High skill floor gameplay That way you only attract the dedicated.

actual moron
Make a game that doesn't pander to them.
shoryuken motions for moves
Have a gay flag and a Palestinian flag in your game.
make a math game.
Stand up for yourself. That's all you have to do, and is the only thing people these days DON'T do.
>Does this game have anything diverse in it?
>No.
>Is [x] gay?
>No.
>Is [x] an allegory for trans acceptance?
>No.
Just say no and defend your vision.
Make it accessible to only the most supremely of autistics, GG ez
Just make all characters white and have no homos or traps
>difficult gameplay
>obtuse mechanics
>niche topic
>zero comedic elements
>no multiplayer
>controls designed for kb + m
>a lot of reading involved
these will take care of 99% of normalgays, but OP's going to have a hard time getting rid of the mentally ill, because gamers are mentally ill as hell, so angling for the purist audience will get you 100% mentally ill playerbase

As in both? Do you want no one to play your game?
Make it exclusive to TempleOS
No way to keep the flaggays out entirely because they basically are normalgays at this point, but if you pander to Ganker culture and edge without ever actually acknowledging it outside the game, they will grumble and filter themselves out.
Make the game hard, no difficulty settings. It will keep the normalgay out but not the mentally ill
Mentally ill is broad, but assuming you're okay with basic autists. Bad graphics (ascii-tier), complex gameplay and UI.
Not making a product
attacking enemies during the first level causes crashing to desktop
