idk if I’ve learned anything from fanon responses to disco elysium as a creator it’s that you can write the main character as disabled, you can detail his struggles with masculinity and how he's in a questioning state wrt to his gender. you can explicitly write him as a bisexual man, a survivor of sexual assault, you can detail his chronic pain and struggles with bodily autonomy in great detail

and people will bend over backwards to give those traits to the conventionally attractive younger guy and paint the main guy as a abusive rapist because shipping culture is just totally fucking ass and it’s how many people view any canon these days, as shipping fodder

this is not encouraging and I’m not sure what can be done with it. I guess the message is if someone is very determined to uphold the status quo you can’t change their mind because they will latch onto whatever is most safe for their worldview

it’s so disheartening

you spend the entire game inside Harry’s head, seeing how his brain works how he’s constantly fighting himself for any scrap of dignity or positivity, you uncover bits of backstory and become intimately aquatinted with how deeply damaged he is and how utterly dehumanized he feels.

and then a guy shows up at the end of the game and is loudly ableist at him and that’s…what people latch onto. they say this guy is right and Harry is a loser piece of shit who deserves to suffer

it’s just so baffling to me where we’re you for the rest of the game? where were you for it?????

and no Harry is not a good person. he’s a cop. he beats people. he can murder a child.

but that’s the point! neither is his partner who’s telling him he doesn’t deserve a pension because he doesn’t try hard enough! he stole mustard from a unhoused person!

no one deserves to suffer, no one should live like this and the game details how Harry has desperately tied his entire identity to his job because it’s all he has. this is a game with a lot to say about both the brutality of policing and the simple fact that practically? there is no where else for people like Harry or Cuno or Cunoesse or Lely or Marianne (The Pigs) to go. there was no one offering to treat them with humanity no strings attached

Yeah my name is Tim, short for OpTIMus Prime

answer: THEIR WEDDING.

I can't describe to you the emotion I would feel if I was hanging out with my friend Tim and he was like "hey we've been friends for a while now I want to show you something," and he hands me his driver's license, upon which I read "Optimus Prime Jones"

mold pisses me off so much
