Detroit: Become Human doesn’t deserve a fanbase

I’m not saying that you can’t like something and be critical of it at the same time, but I really don’t think that’s possible with this one because of the overwhelmingly awful things in this game.

• It’s a David Cage game. David Cage has a long history of being a creep and an awful writer. From putting racism and rape fantasies in every single one of his games to letting his team make a nude model of Ellen Page without her consent which she tried to sue them over, it’s a wonder how Sony let this game happen. Maybe they wanted to fuck the twink cop like the rest of the internet.
• His response to allegations that Quantic Dream had leveled against them is “I’m not homophobic, I know Ellen Page, judge me by my work” which is ironic because as previously stated Ellen Page shouldn’t be touching him with a ten foot pole, and because “his work” is worse than that of a pretentious film student.
• DBH is ham-fisted with allegories to various oppressions, and they’re all done tastelessly, have the subtlety of a brick and they’re practically meaningless. The humans talk about how androids steal their jobs, there’s a scene where androids have to stand at the back of a bus, there’s a cop who doesn’t like his android partner and has slogans and merch on his desk that look like they belong to the average Ben Garrison audience, there’s a scene where the androids spray paint holograms with slogans from MartinLutherKingQuotesDotCom, a white android talks down to a black android about slavery, and there’s even android concentration camps at the end of the game. Despite this, Cage said that his story “is really about androids.” He doesn’t want the game to be political unless he gets praised, making it somehow shocking and stale at the same time.
• Oh yeah, there’s a scene where an android woman and a kid who was an android the whole time have to strip down in one of the concentration camps.
• It’s a David Cage game.
• The twink droid that everyone wants to fuck is a slave catcher. Throughout the entire game, he’s chasing after runaway slaves and doesn’t have a redemption arc until the game’s almost over.
• Also he has the choice to kill the only lesbian couple in the game. If he doesn’t, they’re only talked about once and never seen again, so the choice barely matters.
• It’s a David Cage game.
• Written and Directed by David Cage.
• It’s a David Cage game.
• It’s a David Cage game.

Apparently if you do shoot the lesbian androids, you get to see one of them horribly disfigured later on. Thanks Dave.
