GUESS WHO SHOWED UP LIKE A LIL MIRACLE OUT OF NOWHERE IN STAMP FORM BABY

[peachiseas]

is the existence of the wards really an issue? i always thought it was more world building than anything. we never meet or talk to the wards and and baxter obviously doesnt share their ideals so. yea the supremacy exists but is it a flaw if we never see it personally? it feels more like world building than a flaw in the story to me so im wondering if thats wrong. people wanting to know more about them tho is fucked up and weird and kab should stop responding to them, even if shes just saying she wont answer those questions.

Yes, it is a flaw, and it's a major one because you are forgetting about one particular little thing.

Despite what tumblr might have taught you, a significant part of Our Life's playerbase is not white.

I have met so many people of different backgrounds through this fandom, but you know what tends to be a common link for them?

"Yeah, I like Baxter or think he's alright, but I can never finish his DLC cause of his family and how uncomfortable it made me"

This has become quite the sore spot among the community, especially with black and brown players because why would you bring such an awful topic up through one of your own LIs. It doesn't add anything to the story, the one conversation it's brought up in doesn't explain why exactly he cut them off besides just "oh because they were bigots teehee" when those sort of conversations Need to be fully explored in order to be conveyed well because otherwise you're tackling on the fact that Baxter could have easily internalized those white supremacist values. We need to know what he did to unlearn them, but in a game like Our Life, why bring it up then if you're not going to explain it in depth.

So that brings the question of whose comfort was this inclusion for? It's not for black or brown players. It's not for Muslim or Jewish players. And sure as fuck it ain't gay people. White people who are born majorly christian in their beliefs? Most likely, because they won't feel targeted by these people, but in a game that's main selling point is supposed to be safe for LGBT+ people and people of color, they sure as hell decided to alienate a good chunk of their playerbase for white people who didn't need that comfort.

It's a stupid inclusion that didn't need to be in the game. Everyone before the initial beta of that section was released thought his parents were just helicopter parents who just sucked and that was fine? But making them white supremacists??? It's so obvious she wanted to include something like this but gave it no nuance and how it would affect the player's views on Baxter.

TLDR, if you're not going to make a poignant point in your stories to actively be ten toes into explaining white supremacy and how your LI had to unlearn it due to being raised by white supremacists then you shouldn't include it point blank. The fact that hasn't been taken out yet proves to me that Kab really thought it's fine and is not trying to make Baxter's route a safe playthrough for people of color like Cove and Derek are.

In other news i kinda wanna make an oc themed tote bag aushsudhsueu

Ya know, as someone who has been in this fandom for nearly 2-3 years, I have seen so many people jump at other people for being critical of OL when there are very obvious fuck ups that the game devs should have taken time to correct instead of letting it stay and fester.

For example:

Terry's step 4 design in general and how grossly sexualized it is when he's a trans man

The inclusion of white supremacy through one of the LI's parents

Cliff never having a set enthicity and therefore letting people decide what race Cove should be so they dont have to worry about confronting their feelings on dating a mixed man

I can go on and on about this, but you can enjoy a game and criticize aspects of it that wasn’t handled well. You should, at the very least, be neutral on when people criticize those aspects because each criticism is an improvement that the devs can take forward to their next games
