I& #39;ve gotta say, there& #39;s no way i& #39;m playing #TheLastofUsPartll - it trades in trauma porn and the mechanics of revenge tragedy without having the subtlety of a Jacobean play. nope, i& #39;ve better things to do

then there& #39;s the issue of crunch, the abusive working practices at @Naughty_Dog that forced devs to watch traumatic content in the name of & #39;realism.& #39;

art should not be born of abuse, can not be born of abuse. it should be a rule of thumb that art should not be dependent on violence for it& #39;s creation. if it is then it is not art but violence wearing the clothes of art

this is not to say that art can not be violent but it must not enact violence as a key part of its creation. don& #39;t buy games made using crunch or that force the devs into trauma, don& #39;t buy films or music made by abusers

we have the choice to either facilitate violence and abuse or turn from it. i implore you to turn from it at every opportunity. thank you for reading this thread which wasn& #39;t meant to be a thread.
