skeletons are common in video games, as are depictions of the end result of violence. by the time you reach the one in the game it has been humanized to you, and you’re supposed to think of what was done to it as an injustice. it has a story to being there. 2/5

the only time sexual assault is brought up is when i present the player with actual hate that i’ve received (from the alt right or the left online) for my own experience. that’s text at the very end, overlaid over the skeleton, because it illustrates the social violence the game talks about. 3/5

the player is also tasked with burning this hate. disposing of it like the player brings peace to the rest of the world.
drawing similarities between the real world, and the fiction, is what illustrates the reality of the social violence and power structures that the game’s fiction discusses. 4/5

i added insinuation to my own experiences (only insofar as to how people treated me. this is presented like online posts with engagement) because i didn’t want it to be written off as misanthropy. it’s a commentary on how society treats those it deems as expendable. earth was the first victim. 5/5
