the epic bioshock infinite twist that the minorities and poor being oppressed by the evil fundamentalist racists are just as bad as the evil fundamentalist racists ftw

It’s okay the DLC retcons it

I like that if you dig deeper, it's not that the minorities were inherently bloodthirsty murderers all along, but rather the implication is in that universe they had a terrible role model - a white guy.

Maybe one day Levine will find a way to talk about Israel in a way that isn't completely loving stupid.

Bioshock Infinite feels like the creator got offended by the game's own criticism of capitalism and threw a tantrum. Of course, they immediately started turning the racism dial.

Burial at sea rules because it has a normal first episode dlc, the next one starts in a romanticised Paris and then everything else later completely screws up any sense of nuance in the rest of the series

you ppl are acting like the big twist in Bioshock 1 wasn’t “oh poo poo it turns out the socialist labor leader I was talking to who led the underclass uprising is actually a worse bad guy than the libertarian sociopath that ran Rapture like a dictatorship! He just wants all the wealth and power for himself! Aww nuts, looks like the answer was ‘both sides’ the whole time!”

like the writing was on the wall for this series from the very beginning

That reading isn't invaild per se but that's not how the audiologs and gameplay frame it. The game just doesn't give a poo poo about it's own coding besides rapture and ryan itself. Saying Atlas/fontaine is a "side" is kinda like saying an infection from poor health is a side.

Like i said your reading ain't wrong but there's a reason it was missed. Besides gaming discourse being that dumb enough to be easily distracted by corporate mandated morality mechanics (causing ludo-narrative dissonance) and pranks played on the players of course.

Yep the retcon that completely robs daisy of any agency in the story whatsoever. :v:

If they were smarter they would at least have looped that into bioshock's original commentary on choice but nope, just plot spackle.

God, still mad over Burial at Sea II, so much wasted potential.
