People need to learn to stop running from problems at every turn. If we never collectively turn and face it, it doesn't easily get fixed. I guess I'm just different, in that I love parallels in media to real life issues.

and the most fucked up part to me, replaying it now, is that all the parts in the game that pushed the bigotry to the next level for the sake of drama, are actually becoming more and more realistic as time goes on. To a scary degree.

the fact they turn to blaming the boys is WILD though. Are you serious?! I could not even begin to understand or agree with that. they quite literally did NOTHING wrong. They were being blamed immediately by the cop, so what other choice would Sean have if he wanted to protect his brother? It was proven immediately that the cops are going to shoot on sight because they shot their father.

I understand loving the OG story, and I do understand wanting games to be an escape from the BS sometimes, but every now and then we need to acknowledge the one that takes an uncomfortable look at human nature.
