If you're chronically online and a fan of friendslop, then chances are you'll have heard of a game called Dear Passengers. It's essentially a game that has you and a group of friends flying a plane, looking after the passengers, and completing tasks, all while dealing with ragdoll physics, random events, and your own general incompetence. It's like Peak, but you're on a plane.
It's blown up over the past 24 hours, racking up hundreds of thousands of wishlists, and being spread across social media like wildfire. It was set to become the next wholesome indie friendslop game that would take over your weekends for a couple of weeks, but a couple of people have noticed some less savory elements of the game.
We'll start with the elephant in the room, which are the Epstein jokes. In the game's trailer, you can see the name tags of each character, one of which is named Epst. J. People have pointed out that this is an acronym for the European Pilot Selection & Training in the Netherlands, but combined with the J, it's a very clear nod towards notorious convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On top of that, you also have another character...
