d.w.

@PurgaToriDk @_ChaiGuevara_ We're very much human, crakkkers aren't.

@_ChaiGuevara_ I’m sorry I thought you were human apologies

Genocide is not a deal breaker for westerners. Why would it be? It's in their DNA.

@YoungsTeflon Stop telling them it's from a film, let them be ignorant.

I find it hilarious that 90% ppl using it don’t know what film it’s from 😂

@sentex1407 @fwbonnie__ "You people" fuck off, dipshit.

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ the director literally said it but you people keep acting like it is

Playing metaphor as a POC makes it feel 100x more real

@jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ x.com/woolfordekerne…

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ Hell, the culture in the game with the most resemblance to the Ryukyuans is the exact culture Louis steals treasures from and would have genocided without the intervention of the protagonist.

@jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ The general sentiment is not relevant and is not worth talking about while actual white supremacy and its offshoots still run the globe. To argue this in earnest, for any reason, is to tacitly show support for white supremacy.

@jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ I brought up indigenous rights as one example, but Louis is a caricature representing many right wing fears amalgamated into one person. If anything he is closer to a secret Korean, but the point still stands that he is meant to provoke unease about all ethnic minorities irl.

@jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ Caricatures are propaganda first, their relation to material reality doesn't matter. With this logic, you're arguing that Jim Crow caricatures accurately represent the average Black American, & I hope I don't have to explain to you why that rhetoric is nonsense.

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ If he doesn’t even remotely represent them, then how is he a caricature?

@sentex1407 @fwbonnie__ You're retarded.

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ detroit is not about racism

@k_man0G @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ The authors intentionally made their antagonist a racialized person and intentionally made him genocidal as a false equivalence to stir up right wing fears by painting ethnic minorities in real life who are radicals as genocidal. This would be obvious to you if you could read.

@k_man0G @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ You didn't read anything I wrote. Louis and Will are not real people, they are characters made by authors in a board room. They don't take actions for any intrinsic reason, the authors made them that way on purpose. Now use your brain for once in your life and ask yourself why.

@Kaela03278407 @fwbonnie__ I feel like I'm going crazy, people are going to bat for a game where the main antagonist is literally a secret Korean and they want me to believe the underlying themes are progressive.

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ The only candidate who openly campaigned on ending racial discrimination (Louis) was just lying about it They barely actually tackle racism as a topic, they just use it to make MC feel like an underdog even though he's secretly extremely privileged in cliche Atlus fare

@freemasnslayr @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ You didn't read a word I wrote if this is your takeaway.

@woolfordekernel @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ Sorry Louis wasnt Malcom X buddy cry more i guess lmao

@freemasnslayr @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ A simpler conclusion is that you're just illiterate.

@woolfordekernel @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ There are a lot of things you could criticise MR for, such as the fact that the winner of the "choose the new king" event just ends up being the initially rightful heir in the first place, but this isn't one of them.

@freemasnslayr @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ Waxing poetically about the harms of "oppressors who are also victims" is pointless when it's the oppressor themselves making the critique - they literally need to take the log out of their own eye before calling out the speck in someone else's. The writing is tone deaf.

@woolfordekernel @L_Slippin @fwbonnie__ The story makes it extremely clear that Louis is both the victim and the oppressor, and that his status as the former does not nullify his actions as the latter.

@CareKb21 @jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ That's the whole point. The protagonist is held up as a caricature as well to venerate that he's "one of the good ones" and your stupid ass can't figure out how that sentiment is racist.

@woolfordekernel @jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ “The wrong way”. Yea man he wanted to destroy the entire world and have it filled with monsters. The protagonist is also the same race btw

@jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ Of course Louis doesn't represent anti-colonial positions - that's the point of him being a caricature, a scare tactic meant to paint ethnic outgroups as deviant/irrationally angered by their lot in the social hierarchy/a danger to society at large if left to their own devices.

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ Hindustan nationalists? Like, if you find out some insane right winger is actually an Indian, do you suddenly turn around on them? Louis does not represent any anti-colonial positions. He’s a member of the ruling class that steals treasures from a colonized people (Mustari).

@jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ A colonized person being the primary fascist in your narrative is obfuscation meant to misrepresent material reality in favor of the psychological delusions of the colonizer. It's no different than Americans crying about the dangers of anti-white racism.

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ It’s almost objectively correct that not all responses to bad circumstances are equal. Many people become more right wing, which I hope we can agree, is bad. I never saw Louis as anything other than a charismatic fascist. Fascism is bad. Colonized people doing fascism, is bad.

@jpc2384 @fwbonnie__ I'm not. What contemporary Hutu Power movement is Atlus trying to critique in Metaphor? These causes are largely pacified & irrelevant to any citizen of the global north. The writers are using such movements as a caricature to misrepresent anti-colonial positions.

@woolfordekernel @fwbonnie__ It’s completely justified to say the Hutu Power movement shouldn’t have responded in the way it did. It was a racist supremacist genocidal ideology that targeted other colonized people almost exclusively. You’re seeing a left-wing revolutionary in Louis when he’s just not that.
