It is really weird how many of the popular nsfw games on itch have dark world building. And like, none of the themes are sexualized in any major way

Like, my dystopian robot girlfriend feels more like a critique of America/capitalism than it is a porn game. Main story of Lust Doll is -literally- centered around consequences of slavery and other social/moral issues(75%). Three major characters in BDCC and the main storyline is also based on consequences of slavery and even colonialism. Scarlet law literally starts off with an option to kys as the protagonist tries to save his family from collapse because of slavery. Free cities shove the darkness that loomes over the world to your face in every step of the way. And there are also countless post apocalypse games that are at least as much as if not more gloomy than the games listed above

Like even in some games that are not centered around such themes, the writers casually drop some observation of the human state. For example, in queens brothel there is literally a commentary on nuclear weapons and that short little side story ends in a dark way too

You all gotta calm down bruh I just came to jack off 💀

Game creators are inherently creative people. Creative people like to tell stories even when the main purpose is to create porn. That's why most fetish art has dialog or even a short narrative. 

For example, Skyrim has quite a few bondage mods. Every item and quest in those mods has a bit of lore, even when it's not necessary at all. They just like writing those lore bits.

True, I just find the prevalence of these themes weird in this genre

I just figured that people with daddy issues tend to make porn games lol.

I like this comment because I think about how a lot of these games are post apocalyptic, I think the post apocalyptic setting represents an embracing of a harsher world that we can't control in privileged countries and therefore I guess an environment in which there are a lot more freedoms than the apocalypse we're living through now which is hidden from us and yet in plain sight and made to feel out of our control as individuals. Also it's sexy and dangerous in the wasteland and queer people love fallout. The end of life as we know it and being a cat boy in the ruins feels more right than being stuck in a cycle of poverty in one of the richest countries in the world. It's cathartic for me
