Apt metaphor of our times.
Greenwashing, social media highlight reels, worship of the affluent, grind culture, etc.
Putting a fake, stepford face to obfuscate the horrors we refuse to address, using unethical(theft) technology being shoved down our throats for profit no less.
I was just reminded of this starting up the Tomb Raider I-III trilogy.
Just like Looney Tunes, they added a disclaimer; paraphrased “This rerelease depicts certain cultures in a light we do not agree with - we’ve preserved the work to avoid pretending this never happened”
On a more minor note, I’m very sick of the TikTok trend of censoring words like “kill” into “unalive”. It has even made it hard for victims to talk about brutal subjects. It’ll happen to you, you just aren’t allowed to talk about it because that might upset people.
That was done specifically to limit police video distributions, YouTube doesn't allow references to violence unless a large mainstream news network posts it.
They're starting to even remove court cases that are on touchy subjects.
I've only seen that on Youtube.
It is doubleplusungood.
Righfully so, there is a lot a domestic violence against butlers in those games.
Gotta add a splash of sex. Unbutton a couple more on that shirt and enhance the pic with tasteful cleavage, so we can ignore the surroundings.
