[worldwideorganic]

you know, "violent Markus" is kinda less bad than "machine Connor" yet most people seem to think Markus is the more "evil" of the two. idk, its weird.

“bioshock infinity 2: detroit: become human: resistance is bad :)”

What’s all the bad stuff to happen so far?

we just finished watching a playthrough and oh man it’s so so so bad. 

under the cut bc its long and discusses heavy shit

like david cage literally just took the oppression of black americans and redid it poorly with androids. he literally believes in benevolent slave masters, like markus got the idea that he has worth like a human being literally from his owner. Owner. a guy who Owned him but was also nice to him. gag. and markus is non stop struggling with how oh no they are being violent in their quest to get basic human rights like what the hell else are literal slaves supposed to do? ask nicely to their nice slave masters to be seen as human? that literally was not what happened in america. 

but here david cage has no resorvations to use a black female character to parrot his bullshit about how black people were freed by nice white people and how they couldn’t have done it alone wuwuwuwu

talking of racism..... it’s supposedly isn’t a thing in detroit become human? in less than 2 decades america has completely gotten it’s systematic racism. not just macro agressions but micro agressions are all gone. how the hell did usa have complete liberation for people of colour without getting rid of the police OR poverty, BOTH which are a HUGE part of oppression of poc in america! like it makes no sense!

but altho racism is (SUPPOSEDLY) eradicated, sexism still perseveres! that’s right! characters will still yell BITCH! 

altho at the same time the game has a .... brother, i guess? with androids as sex workers. and it has this weird “it’s equality” thing going on where there are as many male androids being showed off as there are female androids. like the attraction of androids for sex is w/o a doubt the androids inability to not consent (making it also unable to consent!) and like since sexism still exists from the fact that womanhood is devalued, how come are those places not explicitly marketed towards men who want to be sexual/violent towards women? 

am i to believe that homophobia is such a non issue also in 20 years that gay men may openly seek out sex toys at a same place as straight men? like if we look at the statistics on male victims of rape, the rapists are more men. and that is because of society not caring for gay men being victims of rape, so male rapists can operate long without being caught if they target vulnerable gay men. so in this universe does homophobia exist still or not? it just makes no sense. 

the lesbian sex androids that fight in heels and underwear is so gross i don’t even wanna talk about it. im just gonna ask how can you write and masturbate at the same time?

and from that to my final complaint: kara & alice

so like this i can critique with the most insight since i am An Abused Child

and i knew we were in for some shit when i saw this

uhhh yeah. i also take antidepressants. so i don’t *** ********. and like it has a list of 280928389 side effects (none of which i’ve noticed to have so yay for me!) and the fact that they highlight that one. that fucking one. 

ANTIDEPRESSANT

Warning: this might turn you from a nice person to an abuser. :( but its ok i know this isnt u, its the meds <3

yeah. 

so before we witness the abuse we learn that the dad a) is taking that drug. b) lost their job (still had money for an android??? fuck me) and c) their wife left him and started a relationship with another person after that or possibly cheated on him. 

and the game is telling us these things as to say this is the reason this man is who he is. 

being an abuser has no relation to any of that stuff tho! and portraying an abuser like this has no relation to reality! 

and most importantly: in this time of sexual abuse in entertainment, politics, everywhere is being uncovered WE DO NOT NEED TO SYMPATHIZE WITH ABUSERS. we do not need to be made sympathize with the abusers when they are already given more sympathy than they deserve and victims are getting more abuse. 

and to come back to this story has no connection to reality... we live in a society that devalues women and worships men so in entertainment we are constantly showed stories of men being cheated on by women to get sympathy for the men. and the amount of men being shown cheating on women is nothing compared to the other way around, even though in reality men, powered by their male privilege, cheat on women statistically so much more. 

what is reality though? women leaving their husbands because he is abusive. that is a story that david cage could have told that would not have been completely disgusting, but no. 

and just the way alice is written... like someone just read like synopsis of a book on how children react to abuse from a parent and just wrote her parroting lines form the book. its so bad, unnatural, not at all how children react to abuse at that age and just creates plot holes. so alice whishes she could be like the other girls... how does she know what is and is not a normal home life. did she discuss her situation with other people and they shared their different, healthier experiances with their parents? if so why wasn’t the goverment or school or neighborhood involved?

also racism is supposedly eradicated but when kara and alice meet luther for the first time they flinch away....?! just because he’s a tall black man?!?

sooooooo when luther gains independence from his programming (being inspired by 2 white people.... gag) and joins them & they start having this family dynamic its super uncomfortable racist. a black man protecting white womanhood. 

and rose, a black woman, takes that role after luther.... like literally they just have black characters protect these white women with all they have.....

and the game is so........ dude-y. all full of dudes. what does being human mean to the very few women in the game? protectin others => motherhood.

sigh. and that is why i ask you to go donate to my gofundme to get a hitman on david cage.
