  • I remember learning this after playing the game and being totally blindsided by it. Not that I doubt Druckman intended for the story to say something about Palestine and Israel, but because his zionist understanding of the situation completely lacks the context of settler colonialism it ultimately says nothing.

    After having it pointed out to me I can see that a lot of zionist myths have crept into the game, which partly explains why it feels like such a sludge of misanthropy. Part of justifying the abuses of those in power is telling yourself everyone would be just as bad or worse, and Druckman really seems to have internalized that.




  • I’m not familiar with how they do it in the UK, that’s why it surprised me that they don’t already do all the nonsense screenings and stuff. In my country at least gendery dysphoria needs to be “long-lasting and consistent” before it can be treated, so if you go to a doctor as a newly cracked egg that’s what will happen.

    Obviously, the normal thing is just to lie and say we knew since we were 12 or whatever, but I have a couple of friends who went to healthcare personell before having contact with anyone in the trans community who could help them, and they all got punished for telling the truth.
