It's shit, right?

That background annoys me in ways I can't even begin to describe.

You're now imagining an anime of KS.

Katawa Shoujo (“Cripple Girls”) is a dating sim created by a development group consisting almost entirely of 4channers. Like all dating sims, the goal of the game is to befriend a wide variety of animu chicks. Only in the case of this game, said bitches suffer from a plethora of horrible disabilities, including but not limited to…

You find 5 real world cripples as attractive as these and I'll give you a prize.
Being Legless
Being Armless
Being Non-sequitur
Being Deaf
Being Loud
Being Funny
Being Blind
Being Animu
Being Intelligent
Being Female

So far only a demo has been spewed over the Internets so all information in this article only draws from it. The full game was still under development by Four Leaf Studios as of 100 years ago.

Gameplay

The object of the game is to get wasted off your ass, raped by another man, and fall off a school roof; this is achieved by clicking shit onscreen every half hour and wading through a lot of text. Failure to do so gets you stuck with a beautiful handicapped high school girl. This leads to heart attack by way of prosthetic footjob or being rejected. When the full game is eventually released, and if anonymous is true to form, this game will cater to any and every fetish known to man. The final product is also likely to contain over 9000 in-jokes that only anonymous can truly appreciate.

Development and drama

The KS forum also has its own brand of meta-fail: a fanart/fanfiction section where the devs show their own form of appreciation for their fanbase.

The idea for the game came from a joke page drawn by the Eleven artist "Raita". When the page was translated and posted on 4chan's /a/ board, Anonymous loved the idea of a cripple-fucking game. They immediately started outlining the main plot, all-important "love" scenes, and lulzy bad ends. A thread was stickied, a development team was formed, and a dedicated forum was made so they could more effectively circle jerk share ideas circle jerk.

Then the drama began. Members of the team would join and ragequit for various reasons. Some were fired for spending too much time fapping and not enough time working. The plot was written and re-written and the art was drawn and discarded rapidly. But at last, on 9/11 an early development version of the first part of the game was leaked and discussed on 4chan; still, much work remained.

The name "Katawa Shoujo" was also a boner of contention with the Japanese audience, since Katawa means "cripple" and is seen as derogatory. The name was kept, however, to stay in touch with the artistic vision and because it was "too late" to change it to something inoffensive.

During 2008, threads about KS would be quite frequently present on /jp/, causing much rage since the whole thing was considered to be a massive piece of vaporware, as well as many accusations of viral marketing by the game devs. This continues, to the point that now "being a KS dev" is a common accusation on /jp/.

In the spring of 2009, Act 1 of the game was finally released. After much nervousness about how the Japs would take a deliberate attempt to imitate their shitty games (as nerds are constantly seeking validation from one another), the Japanese reaction was neatly summed up in three words: "SUBS FUCKING WHERE?!?" Meanwhile, back in round eye-land, the feedback forum consists mainly of posts saying stuff like "this is the best visual novel I've ever played", which may be a sad commentary on the genre. It might, on the other hand, be an indication that the tastes of basement dwellers are best understood by other basement dwellers. Because the devs forget everything on the internet is forever, they frequently get butthurt when forum posters use dev blog entries and dev-commissioned fanart to spoil plot tweests, calling all the clues obvious trolls.

Moot also changed /jp/'s name from "Japan/General" to "Katawa Shoujo" for a day during early summer of 2009, presumably for the lulz.

Shortly after the demo release, a KS forum devianTard named mugenjohncel, allegedly a former artist turned millionaire businessman/importer/drug trafficker posted a beautiful drawing of one of the heroines tied to a chair and stabbed to death with a pencil, then got b& not for posting guro, but for asking if it could be put in the devs' own SUPER SPESHUL IMAGEDUMP SIET. Being filthy rich and unencumbered by a day job, mugen failed to bitch about it anywhere, instead going on to start his own Ren'Py game where you get to rape and murder a Mexican loli in the nuclear apocalpyse. This was, of course, him wanting to be exactly like 4LS despite the absence of a modern setting in Japan, teenage girls, disabilities, or a staff of infighting manchildren producing it:

<Blue123> I thought he said he doesn't want to be like us
<Delta_Kurshiva> "big plans" indeed
<Delta_Kurshiva> oh, he wants to be exactly like us
<Delta_Kurshiva> only, /jp/ and everyone in the world thinks he's fucking aseome
<Delta_Kurshiva> and... it's him. Not us.

<Delta_Kurshiva> Haven't heard back from them yet
<Blue123> Nothing has happened there for about a week or two
<Delta_Kurshiva> I would like to put forward that the translators are fucking lazy.
<buckingham> damn mugen would shit himself with joy if he knew we had a daily event centered around talkibg about him

Major Characters

This is you, in many more ways than one.

Hisao: The vehicle the player utilizes to interact with the rest of the cast. His heart is too much of a pussy to function properly so he must take teh pills in order to keep from dying. His heart condition is bad enough that he is required to attend a special school to keep from dying, but not bad enough to prevent him from doing the horizontal hula with any girl that isn't Misha. That's a very specific degree of sickness. Because he is the main character, he has over 9000 dysfunctional humans vying for his attention despite being a total faggot.

Emi: Legless loli whose confidence, self reliance, hyper, and sporty personality are major turn-offs to all who play the game. She is also a fast runner, but that's probably due to her using drugs. She has ran/jogged more miles than all of 4chan combined, which is an impressive feat, considering that she’s not even real. She's also a clueless cunt who needs to watch where she is fucking running. Despite being the loli, she is the least popular of the girls.

There are 3 puns here. Can you SEE them all?
Lilly: A quiet and well refined young woman whom you will eventually butt-fuck in the full version of the game as she cheers you on, eliminating all charm she once had. She gots no functional eyez for teh seein’. Obviously some jew stole her good pair. Boring as hell.

Hanako: A quiet book reading bitch who lusts after the player's chocolate. She is burnt horribly on half of her body. Hopefully, the player will get a chance to laugh at her ugly ass in the full version of the game. She also enjoys playing chess, but sucks because she is a reclusive bitch. Hinata/Miyuki with burn scars. Is the most popular because she appeals to the worldview of white knight nice guys who believe being nice to girls automatically earns you pussy. Chris-chan's personal favorite.

Shizune: Some chick that is too fucking stupid to learn how to speak so instead uses her hands for making you sandwiches. She is also the president of the student council and hopes that you will join her so she and her trap brother can raep you. She is basically Rei with Asuka's personality.

Misha: Serves as a manbitch for the above character. Her hairs' hobbies include kicking reason to the curb, doing the impossible, using stupid circular reasoning, piercing the heavens, rowing, and fightin’ da powa. Her disability is never mentioned in the demo because it will be a major plot twist in the full version when it is revealed that she has a penis. In a devastating blow to people who like big, beautiful women, it was revealed that she did not have a route. You'll have to put up with that blue haired bitch if you want to stick it in Misha's ass.

Rin: A teen with thalidomide arms and thus uses her feet to accomplish every day tasks. She wears a boy’s uniform because she doesn’t want dudes peeking up her skirt at her vagina, and also because she's a dyke. Fans like talking about how deep and non-cliché this character is. Terrible choice for waifu because she cannot make you sandwiches without them tasting of athlete's foot. Bastard lovechild of Homestar Runner and Osaka.
Kenji: A legally blind, misanthropic, conspiracy theory nut job, with a deep rooted hatred of females. Needless to say, he is the most badass mother-fucker ever. He also dispenses timeless advice that should be held above even the highest authoritative figures. He is seen naked before any of the females in the demo. In fact he is the only person seen naked in the demo. So playing this game makes you a fag. Hell just reading this paragraph does.

Fanbase

The fanbase consists of a bunch of L33t romantics, who play the demo despite there being no love making visually depicted. The full game will contain nudity and the sexings, but the developers promise an option that allows players to skip any portions of the game involving sex. Players bring up this option with their parents when trying to advocate why the game is beautiful, and why they are not total perverts for playing it. Lastly the fans of the game also enjoy arguing over which of the fucked up characters they consider to be their waifu, creating many lulz for really cool guyz (AKA fellow /v/irgins) viewing said ronery sadness.

Thinking about joining the Katawa Shoujo forums and discussing your favorite cripple girl? Please make sure you enjoy the following before proceeding: The forums are cesspools for Devs so far up their own assholes they believe everyone but themselves are trash, fucktarded users who post terrible photoshops and get their cocks sucked by the rest of the forum, and retards who write terrible fan fiction about the burn girl getting her charred cock sucked by the deaf girl.

If you enjoy all those things, a forums account may just be the thing for you!

What the fuck is this?
Go back to ED.

It's quite obvious, this is another KS forums lame handywork at attentionwhoring their VN.

Nothing to see here, move along.
