Connor is a villain

(I apologize in advance if this is choppy/poorly paced! I had to boil this down quite a bit because I’m not much of a writer and I have trouble organizing my thoughts... 🤦🏻‍♂️)

I know some people tend to get up in arms when Connor is called a villain but it’s just a much better representation of his character, especially when Cyberlife is acknowledged as the antagonist! I think people tend to get so defensive about it because they aren’t really understanding the difference between a villain and an antagonist:

Villain: a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot / a person or fictional character who is evil or who causes danger or harm.

Antagonist: a person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something; an adversary / the principal character in opposition to the protagonist or hero of a narrative or drama.

Based solely on that definition Connor is a villain! For the majority of the story he does evil things, regardless of if the player has him on the path to deviancy or not. Connor directly puts Kara, Markus, and all other deviant androids in danger. Even when you don’t list out his actions (or possible actions) the core of his mission is to aid in the slaughter and oppression of an entire group! (Hopefully I don’t need to explain how that is evil or how his actions/motives are important to the plot.)

To pinpoint the antagonist/driving force behind our villain it’s important to acknowledge that Connor didn’t come up with his own moral compass or goals.

“Algorithms don’t have access to the ground truth” (computer lingo for veritas), Dwork explained. If there is bias in the data used to make the decision, the decision itself may be biased.

— Taken from the article Artificial Intelligence and Ethics by Jonathan Shaw

One of the ethical issues in creating artificial intelligence is AI bias. Artificial Intelligence is the core of what makes androids possible in this setting. The science behind AI is long and forever adapting; however, one of the main components of modern AI is the fact that they require a lot of data input, algorithms, and programming. All of this input comes directly from the hands of humans. Connor’s role as a villain is only derived from what he was programmed to do, and this programming is directly from the hands of Cyberlife. This lands them in the role of our stories big bad! By definition Cyberlife is the main antagonist!

It’s very obvious throughout the plot that the corporation actively rivals and opposes Markus, Kara, and all of the other androids they created. (Cyberlife also rivals Connor because he is a member of the oppressed group and has the option to deviate.) Extra details provided in different magazines scattered throughout the game also bring light to the full extent of Cyberlife‘s role in the story conflict.

In short: Connor is a villain but he is also a protagonist - his actions are a piece of the conflict. Cyberlife is the antagonist - they are the driving force in the conflict.

I could probably keep going on and on about the nature of villain versus antagonist and how Connor/Cyberlife fit into each roll but this is a slippery slope of tangents I don’t want to try to control...

I am going to kiss whoever made these updates to the wiki pages for Markus, Kara, and Connor.

Not only does this actually acknowledge Markus as the main protagonist of the story, but it also boosts Kara’s role as well! I’m also pretty happy that Connor is recognized as a villain protagonist AND the closest thing we get to seeing any active representation of Cyberlife.

(I started to type out my thoughts about why classifying Connor as a villain is most accurate to his character but it was making this post incredibly long... I might make a separate post about it if anyone is interested in hearing it)

Hey Connor, do you have a favorite kind of rock?

“Do I have a favorite rock? I’ve never thought bout it, my major function before going deviant didn’t require an input on the subject.”

“Though now I think it would have to be, Spider Web Carlin Turquoise.The coloring stands out against most I’ve seen.”

Perish.

“That’s rather rude, now under regular circumstances I would simply let this be, but as the Lt. has been requesting that I speak up for myself I’d prefer if you refrained from vague wishes for my decommissioning.”

Hey, Connor. What’s your favourite coin trick??

“I enjoy executing the anti-gravity muscle pass. That’s the one where I toss it horizontally between each hand and occasionally catch with the pointer and middle finger.”

“Lieutenant Anderson is still attempting to figure out how to do it. I should tell him that in all actuality that trick, like some of my others, is nearly impossible for humans.”

“Two others tricks I enjoy are rolling the coin vertically across the fingers, and spinning juggling on the fingertips. The old magician Dynamo was certainly exquisite in his trade. I’m glad to have taken the information provided and put my own spin on his trick.”

FAQ

“Hello, I’m Connor the Android sent by CyberLife.”

[This is going to be my first fan account on Tumblr so I’m mainly testing it out, but it looks promising.

* This account will be focused obviously around Connor, I do not own Connor or Detroit Become Human all rights go to the creators

* I will answer asks as well as role-play with fan androids/fan humans and other characters within the game

* I’m a huge fan of Hank/Connor and Marcus/Connor so I’d definitely but up for anything related to those

* I’m up for experimenting on different ships (Warning I’m not that well versed with the “female” anatomy)

* On that note some things I just won’t work with are pet-play, DDLG, vomit/feces, or anything underage, and more to possibly be added

* I love gore though so possible heads up

* Replying might occasionally be scattered I’m moving soon so having to pack as well as discussing a job transfer will be affecting my social life

* We can message via DM’s, replies, or another platform

With that out of the way, greetings I’m Nick and I’m looking forward to interacting with you all. ]
