been trying to word this for awhile, but like the thing about the discolikes from the goons who stole it (zero parades, that godawful night shit comic prologue) is that it’s not just poorly written hacky misogynistic bullshit. it feels…spiritually sickening to me, in a way. it makes me honestly angry. on a level beyond the injustice of the ip theft.
because this are what these writers think Disco Elysium is.
they think it’s needlessly crass and vulgar for no reason, devoid of empathy, of passion. they think it’s crude edginess for the sake of edginess. where Disco feels honest to the perspective of anyone who has ever been truly truly desperate they simply see a freakshow. 'let’s describe a 16 year old's genitals because it’s SHOCKING.'
Disco made me feel seen and understood as a human being. these projects make me feel even more alienated because they remind me that a team of brilliant writers can depict the horrible truth of disability and desperation under capitalism but they can’t make the audience care or understand.
