>>3937277Because people want an easy narrative of good people vs. bad people instead of people with all their flaws interacting with hostile systems.
>>3937280It's not "men are evil," that's a very silly way to represent the point.
It's "men are empowered to hurt women by a system that lets them get away with it, because everyone in the system tends to ignore it, and it's part of a larger system of abuse and apathy that everyone at the bottom of the ladder suffers the consequences of, but it's women who suffer the most acutely and obviously."
The game is about abuse in general, but the Anya-Jimmy narrative is pretty clearly about the specific abuse women deal with, since, yeah, while the whole crew suffers abuse from the powers that be, even amongst them, the sole woman is abused and finds little opportunity to find sympathy or aid or recourse from this hostile work environment.
The game isn't solely about the theme of "some men hurt women, most people ignore it," no, but the them is there. No, it isn't just there, it's pretty explicit. I mean, if you want a real-life example, just look at yourself: the very obvious theme is staring you straight in the face, and you're calling it a made-up, invalid projection, while being oblivious to why sexual abuse of women has become such an issue despite the whole Weinstein thing happening 8 years ago, the Dobbs thing happening 2 years ago, and the P. Diddy and the 2025 cabinet picks thing happening right this second.
