I have a morbid fascination with it, and one of the things that keeps dragging me back to it is the very weird ways in which it is, surprisingly, progressive. FATAL makes a distinction between sex and gender (though throws it away), and also recognises asexuality as valid (despite not understanding it).

It's a racist, sexist rape fantasy simulator.

It sure is, but the author had a very particular type of bigoted worldview combined with a very particular type of pseudo-academic obsession. Without that, it would be an utterly unremarkable cookie-cutter grimderp RPG from the 2000s. The exact, half-baked layout of the trainwreck presenting as high-speed rail is what makes FATAL into FATAL.
