idk, you could've rewritten it any way that doesn't involve a white person telling a black person word for word to not act like such a slave and it wouldn't have been as bad.

*a white woman who was a sex slave and is justifiably angry about her treatment at the hands of men

ftfy

I guess he should have paused to mansplain why her personal experience with slavery matters less than the fact that people he's unrelated to were once slaves 200+ years ago, so therefore he's an expert

Or you could write it where it isn't offensive to anybody, which wouldn't be hard if you changed around the setup to the conversation a little.

I thought somebody in a writing hobby would understand that easier, but you do you.

Although I think taking context into account makes the scene understandable, you're totally right in that it just isn't necessary at all and could've been taken out entirely without losing anything. It's a pointless scene that didn't need to be in there in the first place except to reinforce that North isn't into the pacifist route, which we were all already aware of.

knowing what we know about david cage and how he thinks and wants people to view his games, the scene existed so he could definitely, deliberately, have a white character say that line to a black character to make the audience go "oooh, this is deep". dude is such a fucking hack and the real tragedy is that if that employee lawsuit doesn't kill quantic dreams, sony will STILL hand him more money to make another game because dumbass people eat up this kind of schlocky bullshit. all of his games sell well. it's almost depressing.

people in a writing hobby who don't understand doylist vs watsonian readings of things drive me nuts.

yeah, in context, for the characters, the scene might make sense, there might be perfectly valid reasons for everyone acting that way

but it was written by people to be that way and they could have changed it at any point to deal with the out-of-game implications because it's all fictional

it's the "she wears the bikini and stilettos because she chooses to, she's EMPOWERED" argument all over again

She has to dress that way. She breathes through her skin.

It represents a specific lack of Superman's S-shield or any other kind of emblem on her chest.

isn't offensive to anybody? lol, are you new? everything ever written is offensive to somebody.

Wait is Marcus a robot?

Are people really offended that a fucking robot was called a slave? "But he's black" FUCKING DUMBFUCK WHITE PEOPLE LOGIC, he's a goddamn robot with a dark flesh paint job, that doesn't make him black or a representative of any black culture

That's some culturally appropriative shit to act like a toaster with a personality somehow has ties to black struggles

yes, literally only white people have ever had anything critical to say about this scene, this game as a whole, about david cage as a person. you cracked the code. it's only white people. it's all a big white conspiracy.

next are you going to tell us the fellowship of the ring isn't a bunch of white men because technically only aragorn and boromir are "men"
