How dbh handles "revolution" is one of my main gripes with it. Especially the "peaceful revolution" route. Obviously, looking at it from the historic perspective, every movement which had emancipation as a goal used violent opposition as the main instrument of action. I mean, what else there is to do?
(continuation is under the cut)
The only occurrence that I can think of that has *some* resemblance to dbh (peaceful revolution specifically) is the abolishment of serfdom in Imperial Russia. The reasons for abolishment of slavery include: the system has outlived it's usefulness, the elites in late 18th and early 19th centuries started to consider serfdom inhumane and thre amount of serf rebellions increased in some parts of the empire. There was no revolution, so to speak, emancipation was granted "from the above," but rebellions still took place. DBH's peaceful revolution is so baffling to me because we don't even see any positive gestures from people in power and the elites. We only have Carl and possibly Elijah, but they literally don't do anything public. Bringing Imperial Russia example once again, plenty of classical pieces from the 19th century focused on the tough and unfair life of serfs. So when the androids are considered people due to positive public opinion, it feels like it comes out of nowhere. One could argue that "Oh but maybe the humanity has learned it's lesson and now has better time at spotting the oppression and fixing its mistakes, for example how WW2 affected the human rights movement" but no, throughout the game's environmental storytelling we're shown that people in 2038 are not that mentally different from people in the 2010s. Hell, there's another war with Russia over the horizon. Nothing is getting solved with words.
And okay, I get it, being hopeful that the humanity can change, look back and not the make the same mistake towards beings it enslaved is very nice, despite my outlook on the world, I do agree that humanity as a whole is slowly improving. I don't mind this ending if it was the way the author displayed their genuine hope for the humanity and that "love and kindness prevail". But the game showcases this is as the best outcome, with the fan-favourite hug, smiles and all that. And when you've spent multiple hours playing grief simulator as a result of systematic oppression, it feels... cheap?
The game is mainstream - it's really obvious that the story has been written in a place where violent oppression is a thing of the past. It's a feature article of the glory of the underdog victor's in the face "of the big bad", with the details of what comes before and after purposefully forgotten. Every time I see a celebrated piece of fiction, where the opressed come out victors, like it happens in "peaceful" DBH route, I remember about massive protests in Belarus in 2020 and I just want to stare at the wall.
Anyway bless North and her nuke. She gets it.
P.S.
Judging from reblogs, you people like listening to me yap, and I sincerely thank you. Makes me feel seen. Plus, it's just cool to share one's thoughts? Especially when people are reading them with critical thinking engaged as well? So yeah, I decided to bring this thing from twitter, maybe you'll find it interesting as well.

My favourite hypocrite
(long thoughts are under the cut)
Throughout the game, Hank behaves well.... like a cop. His judgment of justice is mainly guided by the "we and the others" worldview with very clear boundaries and no gray areas. His actions are valiant when the side of "us" coincides with the player's morality, otherwise ... he is just same ol' control-obey tool of the system.
He hates androids because of the death of his son, they are "others". But yes, at least he's mentally flexible - he can reassign sides and that allows him to consider androids as people later on in the game. That's why the rooftop fight is so interesting - Hank recognized androids as living but enslaved by humans, but at the same time he does not give Connor that leverage. Connor's an android, yes, but he is "others", so he does not see in him the possibility of humanity. Moreover, at this moment he himself plays the role of the same task executive machine that he despises in Connor. The only difference between them is that Hank made the choice to become like this, a police officer and accept the mentality such job molds you into. Connor didn't get to make that choice yet he still reaps the consequences because Hank behaves on threat elimination autopilot, "it's us or it's them".
Bro makes half of his conclusions reflexively. And then when he thinks for a second it's "fuck Marcus is a alright guy it turns out". He didn't have enough power to think for an additional second though, so his next conclusion is "I need to beat the shit out of Connor". Amazing. That's why his pose is as if he's reaching for a gun. Act first, think later

Hank feels older after the accident. He feels older, not in a "more mature" way, but more geriatric instead. Yet he just looks like a man of his age, he looks like before. He feels a deep disconnect — his appearance doesn't match his perception of time. The world goes around him as normal, his body goes on as normal. Grief doesn't leave any imprint on him, and he gets angrier and angrier at himself and more despaired.
And so, when his roots finally begin to turn grey, in a fit of inverted thinking, he cuts off his hair, leaving only grey hair. Is this proof of his grief? A punishment? A manifestation of guilt? It doesn't matter, and it does not get better. This becomes clear halfway through the process. Although now he has a shitty haircut, here goes the rest of his hair, even if he seemed to like it long. He is ruining everything in his life again.

This one was a doozy. Some of you might've noticed that this piece is done traditionally. To be more precise, the format is A3, and the mediums include: watercolours, gouache paints, coloured pencils, oil and soft pastels.
I haven't done traditional art in a while, especially on bigger formats, so my approach had to be more calculated than it usually is.
Tumblr media
For the first time in ages, I had to pick up my sketchbook to come up with composition because sketching directly on A3 wasn't working out. After that was done, and I got the idea of how I wanted the things to be placed on the piece of paper, it was time to transfer the sketch.
Tumblr media
It went well. I decided to follow the same pipeline I use for my digital paintings, so I did watercolour underpaint.
Tumblr media
I wish I had determination to make the paint more saturated, but I was feeling quite anxious.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then I refreshed the sketch with coloured pencils, which was a smart call on my part because otherwise, I would've definitely lost it when I put down gouache. I also applied masking fluid in some places.
Tumblr media
Historically, painting with colour is my weakest skill, I tend to struggle with the feeling of depth especially. That's why I decided to figure out my colours digitally first, so I wouldn't loose my progress irl. I really wasn't in the mood of redoing the sketch and repainting.
You see, I really locked with this one lol
The next step was painting with gouache, I think I was the most impatient with this. I wish I would've taken more time, but alas. In general, it was pretty ordinary - applying colour and then adding definition to objects. But not too much because most of my detailing is achieved with pencils.
Tumblr media
After that was done, I redefined the sketch following the photo I took (I was missing conveniences of digital painting here), and it was time for the dry materials. It was just a lot of work, but I had fun with it.
I'm satisfied with the end result. Of course, there are things that I don't like how they came out, but for the first illustration done traditionally in a while, I'll let it pass, hah.
Thank you for reading all of that!!!💖 Here's your cookie 🍪

Confusion
Tumblr media
(k0Libra ramblings are under the cut)
Did you know that if you incorrectly set up LLM it will generate text without the user's input, infinitely "talking" to itself? That's the sole goal of LLM - to generate text, but this behaviour really showcases that modern "AI" has no idea that it's even talking to someone.
I doubt that androids in D:BH run the same "AI" that we have now because that would undermine the game's narrative. I'm inclined to think that their AI is engineered by replicating the human brain in machine form. I'm thinking that also because thirium was essential for android creation, for some reason it was impossible to create them with conventional computational machines. It makes sense, I suppose, since we don't have enough power to recreate brains, even now. 
This brings a very interesting point: humans played god again with something they don't understand fully - the human brain. There's a high probability that we'll never figure out how it works. That makes deviancy somewhat expected; how can you control something when you don't know how it works? 
For me, cases of critical malfunction in software and hardware are very interesting topics, so I decided to paint this type of idea anyway.

"RK Industrial Heavylifter gen 3" is a Cyberlife-developed cobot that is set apart from other competitors by using famous RK-series preconstruction module in its work, minimizing any accidents during the collaborative process.
I wonder if small RK line feels any familial feelings towards it, or are they horrified by a creature so similar to them being encased in a moving tomb. And what even goes through the mind of the creature? How present or out of it is it?
What other atrocities are there to witness at Cyberlife's R&D.
