We want to make absolutely clear that our values are diametrically opposed to these uses, and we can only hope that's reflected in our work. Honestly, so do we sometimes! Toxic positivity is a real problem, and lots of words and ideas like "wholesome" (or "family values") have been warped into dog whistles and harmful purity tests, or used to dismiss serious concerns. The question of what makes a game wholesome is one that comes up again and again in our community, and while common themes sometimes emerge from those conversations, we think it devalues the discussion to suggest that there's ever going to be a comprehensive final answer. If a game is cute and cozy but contains harmful stereotypes, is it wholesome? We say no! If a game is violent, but that violence is about overthrowing an oppressor, is it unwholesome? We say no! The opinions presented by our curation are just that: one group's opinions.
Something we've always tried to be mindful of is that what looks wholesome to one person might not look wholesome to someone else. That's up to you to decide! It's subjective and we don't want to pretend that it isn't. We want to be a part of showcasing the breadth of experiences that games can have for players. For many years, the most critically acclaimed titles have been the ones with the darkest themes and grimmest depictions of life, but there's also a whole world of hopeful video games with rich storytelling, innovative gameplay, and beautiful art and sound. One of the goals of Wholesome Games is to change how we think about which games are taken seriously. Since then, the community has grown to nearly 500k members across Twitter, Discord, TikTok, YouTube, and more. Wholesome Games is a community that started on Twitter when indie game developer Matthew Taylor began curating games according to their feelings of comfort, compassion, and coziness.

They took on prominent roles in the now Dragon-allied community: Valka, a fountain of wisdom to learning Trainers Cloudjumper, a judicious role model for the young Dragons. Years later, after Hiccup had made peace with the Dragons and taught Berk the ways of Dragon Riding, Cloudjumper and Valka would return to Berk. Instead, she chose to rescue Dragons with her newfound friend - the massive Stormcutter that had taken her from home. Due to this conflicted beginning, Valka knew she could convince neither Berk nor Stoick that Dragons were peaceful creatures. Their relationship had an inauspicious start: Cloudjumper kidnapped Valka from Berk during the Dragon wars, after determining she meant no harm.
Their bond runs so deep that the two can communicate without words - with an unspoken understanding that goes far beyond Dragon and Trainer, Cloudjumper and Valka are family. "This wasn't a vicious beast, but an intelligent, gentle creature, whose soul reflected my own." ― ValkaĪfter two decades together, Valka and Cloudjumper share a relationship unrivaled by other Academy Dragons and their Trainers.
