Stellar Blade launched last week, yet you wouldn't believe it with all the talk surrounding the title to do with censorship and the game's jiggle physics. If you were, let's say, the developer of a cozy indie farming sim that had previously shown very little concern about how bouncy their female characters' chests are, now would be the worst time to make a comment about it.
However, the team behind indie title Farm Folks thought it would be a terrific idea, and recently put out an incredibly strange tweet showing off varying levels of jiggle physics on the game's female characters, asking fans which version had the "perfect" jiggle. To make things even stranger, this tweet was followed up by another asking fans if they wanted to see "what 150% looks like", seemingly sexualizing one of their characters to an audience that has absolutely no interest in that kind of content.

That would be enough to sweep the entire thing under the rug, had the Farm Folks community manager not made some rather explosive comments on the game's Discord channel. Shared by Twitter user Pilnock, the community manager
