So. I got this in the Racial Justice bundle and I really enjoyed it. Like everyone else, I'm wondering how to do the Hangman's throne ending. However.
On one of the routes I played as having all the main characters be Aurin. That was fine, at first. Then I started playing through Athena/Pestilence?'s route.
I don't know how to tell you this but it is .... extremely inappropriate, I think, to have the suffering of refugees who are fleeing persecution and facing discrimination be equated to a situation where you have the daughter of a Nazi killer (who.... is it Pestilence??? the name that was given to her in my game was Athena. Anyways, her father is pretty clearly shown to be a Nazi) trying to say she's oppressed. Like. It's not comparable. It's really not. And I absolutely cannot sympathize with her in that instance.
And it's pretty ahistorical, too. Like. A lot of Nazis got away with what they did. There are still Nazis- original ones, who participated in the genocide- hiding and not facing punishment. They're living normal lives. They got away with it.
I just dont think it's possible to equate the two things. It makes a lot more sense when you're playing as Marianne Empire refugees, or Cristelenos, but not when you play as Angleterre refugees, or Aurin ones either. Because... reverse racism isn't real.
I like this game. But I don't think I'll ever be able to play the Aurin route- or the Angleterre one, for that matter- again.
