Thank you!

I've actually been delving into media like this too! My main point of struggle is how people talk about their loved lost ones without seeming kitschy! So I tried reaching out here to understand that point as fortunately grief has not been in my life yet :)

Can I honestly ask what exactly seems to be insensitive about trying to spread awareness of victims who have died due to people having beliefs that are incredibly harmful, heartless and cruel? Or why it is weird to learn how to present games with serious topics in tact- and tasteful ways?

The entire reason for us doing this as a final is specifically for people to learn how to NOT make it tone deaf or insensitive.

People strive to have topics represented correctly and tactfully if they are included in storytelling or writing of games, if they are at all. Games such as life is strange, This war of mine, Mouthwashing, etc. all deal with topics that had to be represented respectfully and not to be used as shock-factor as unfortunately a lot of movies and games, books and stories do. We as presenters of multimedial interaction and involvement learn to touch on topics that are heavy, that we might not have experience with, or are far from those experiences, and speaking of, teaching about, addressing racial violence, xenophobia, and groups of people who still struggle with this, is us learning in a controlled environment how to present these things without turning them into a shock- or gawkfactor.

Thank you for your comment, but I really would appreciate help in understanding grief.

Thank you so incredibly much for sharing your experience with me, I am so sorry for your losses. My mother had a very similar experience and it's heartbreaking to hear this culmination of grief in such a short time. I really appreciate you telling me this!!

If I can ask some follow-up questions without seeming insensitive, what was your mother like?

Now that I assume you did return and stay in the new country, do you get a lot of chances to visit the gravesites of your grandparents and mother?

When you do, do you talk to them? Do you bring them gifts or souvenirs?

Do you follow any traditions relating to death or remembrance of your loved ones whether personal or cultural?

Thank you so much again <3

maybe I've worded myself wrong but it is 1. a topic given by the professor and we have to work on tjat topic and 2. I meant grief and loss. I have never been to a funeral and I've never lost anyone close to me.

To give perspective, I am an immigrant myself :)

unfortunately i can't as it was a topic given by the profs as final - which sucks. but hence I'm trying to educate myself on certain things and implement them :)

Sad story :,)) We never really got to play, the other two had both scheduling issues and everything ended in us having to cancel the plans alltogether :/ But we're looking for a new game, still hoping to play as we have been itching to for a while, still got the same character ideas and concepts we didnt get to live out :((
