Adam, 25, Just a blog for stuff I find interesting. History, steampunk, anime, video games, aviation, locomotives, Railways, and whatever else. 

just saw someone bring up how fucked up and problematic it is that there's a bit early on in Bioshock Infinite where you can throw a baseball at an interracial couple in front of a crowd of people and I'm just ike...

yes? that's the point? You're SUPPOSED to think it's fucked up?

Did you just miss the part where Columbia is a dystopian, racist nightmare city, or did you think you were supposed to agree with the racism?

And did you somehow miss the part where you can try to throw the ball at Fink instead?

I'm not saying that Bioshock Infinite is perfect in this regard, there's definitely issues, but good lord, how do you miss the point this hard???

The most fucked up part about that bit is that it doesn’t indicate your choices in that game mean nothing.

This is apparently what the rails look like between Indiana and Ohio.

We send tens of billions to Ukraine to fund their war while our infrastructure crumbles.

many problems are caused by the mindset that the world is divided into good people and bad people and the bad people can be "found out" and removed, eventually leading to a utopia containing only good people.

"It was much better to imagine men in some smokey room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told the children bed time stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."
