As one of many reasons for xenophobia and racism is the dehumanisation of people who are different, Detroit might help racists step in the shoes of marginalised groups and see how most of them are just victims of racist societies, kind of like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The initial scene with Marcus is pretty powerful to show senseless violence against non-humans. Detroit continues to show how one can become human or become emotionally intelligent instead. Sadly most racists are human…
Because Detroit: Become Human is written by David Cage who writes on about a 8th grade writing level and has all the subtlety of The Rock declaring his next finisher.
Do you honestly think this game is on par with those movies? I think that’s borderline insulting tbh
No, I just wanted to hear your reasoning why this would be better to teach racists.
Usually racists don’t care about a writing level above 8th grade. Most of them never finished high school.
Sure, which is why I would start with Django. Or any of the countless children’s media that has anti-racism and inclusion as a central theme.
