i dont think ill ever stop hating on nier:automata sorry
im so fr on this nier automata is a sexist shitty shallow unserious game that takes a piss on every concept it brings up and then licks up the piss and turns to you and goes "look how well i did"
calling it "babys first philosophy" would be too kind and generous
watching people play the game and talk about how they feel intimidated by its themes is like watching someone become convinced jordan peterson is smart bc he has a professors vocabulary
this game is not smart!! you are confused because the game is confused but presents it as depth! theres nothing cohesive or cognizant about the game!!!!
like i cannot be the only one that was frustrated by the refusal to engage with any of the concepts brought up and the overriding desire to be sad™️ and emotional™️
the game has so so so much potential but just ruins any empathy or emotionality i could give it by being one of the shallowest most inconsequential stories ive ever fucking seen
