I know I know we have already clowned on this person so much, but like step away from disco elysium brain for a second. The idea that stories have to be uplifting and palatable to all is bad. It closes your eyes to so much art that is vital to understanding people throughout cultural boundaries. Disco Elysium is a complicated, distinctly non American story that makes you step outside of your base assumptions and question the unquestionable. The story does this deliberately. Wanting that story to erode into something simple and idyllic- that is a cruel neutering. I feel like American progressive culture focuses too much on demographic diversity, and not enough on diversity of experiences and history. The need to make a checklist- you play as a disabled, non man! Queer themes! Etc. That takes away your ears towards a wide variety of stories that ARE queer disabled non white etc. Because you are looking for a hamfisted, virtue signaling obviousness, you are missing the intricate stories told by people who don't have your background. Your phd in politically correct American english. By valuing the ability to speak this progressive language, and policing the words used to describe someone's own experiences - you're not listening. You're missing out on art.

So yeah. If you close your ears to disco elysium because it's a grimy detective story with a white man (it's...not set in America but let's just let the concept of whiteness stay for simplicity). Then you're not actually accepting of diversity. You're accepting of the checklist.

Krampus is Santa Claus bad helper! Krampus comes from Central Europe and especially the Alps, and he goes around homes together with Santa Claus in those areas!

Iltalehti: Tässä ovat joulun kamalimmat hirviöt – Ei herkille

Ympäri Eurooppaa tunnetaan erilaisia joulumörköjä, jotka ovat kaikkea muuta kuin mukavia. Iltalehti esittelee joulun pahimmat kiusankappaleet ja hirviöt. Sisältövaroitus: osa jutun kuvituksista ei välttämättä sovi herkille tai lapsille.
