I think it's time to revisit my Bioshock Infinite rewrite...but first must assemble a reading list so I don't sound like an idiot. The bar is very low, of course, but I have to do this right. So time to learn US history I guess.

#I'm only going to read into stuff I care about. will focus on labour & revolutionary movements + native american history #and political ideas of the time. I don't super care about the religious aspect of the story. Like religion in a political sense obv but not #actual scripture #you know ... a surface level understanding at least. also don't give a fuck about the science that's gonna be made up #I just want to get fitzroy and finkton right ok! and booker. bc ohh boyyy #as much as it would be a better story from someone else's perspective I'm going to limit it to booker and liz

[witchblade]

anyway the one thing i find really funny about burial at sea is the idea that rapture and columbia are like quantum-linked not only across universes but also through time. like the power of a single shitass city reverberating thru space

#the subplot of suchong and finkton stealing ideas from each other through the tears #FINK*

[sanctamater]

aight thats it im starting da2

#id like to finish my playthru of bsi but im near finkton and that level is SUCH a drag 😭 #like WHO DESIGNED THIS. IT LULLS U JUST RUN BACK AND FORTH. #🕊️❝ out of redemption ( ooc. )

[autoerotictrepanation]

Replaying Infinite again (for video essay I swear) and I’m still baffled as to 1. Why did Columbia import people their entire society is based around hating and 2. Why are they even paying them when they could be literal slaves and they’d all be fine with it according to their doctrine. I don’t get it and my only guess would be Columbia having literal slavery would mess up the both sides bad message.

#txt #like it makes no sense why are they even paying them if they’re that racist it’s sooooo dumb #bioshock #tw bioshock infinite #every time I’m in finkton I’m baffled as to how this society is even structured or works

[fanonical]

look, i know ranting about bioshock infinite is old hat at this point, but i was thinking about this lately and wanted to get this off my chest

there's a point in the game where the game's 'both sides' approach to racism reaches its nadir, and it's the end of the finkton level

fink is a character running a company town, horribly exploiting his workers (all minorities) and creating shanty towns for them to live in. at the end of this level, black revolutionary leader daisy fitzroy wants to murder him to stop all of that from happening. she does! and she also threatens a kid

this kid comes right the fuck out of nowhere. there's no indication of who this kid is, where he came from - he doesn't even have a unique character model. daisy says he's fink's son, which isn't something that's ever established all through this level which serves the purpose of telling you about fink, and that's why she wants to kill this kid. she then gets unceremoniously killed by elizabeth as a coming of age thing. the kid vanishes

this kid literally only exists because otherwise, daisy would seem too sympathetic. the entire level exists to tell you how evil fink is, then at the end pulls this 'but daisy wants to kill this kid for no reason BOTH SIDES ARE BAD' bullshit. because otherwise, any non-fascist player will be on daisy's side in an instant. it's shitty, shitty writing and it's so transparently racist

booker dewitt enemies to lovers hcs part 2!

CW!: MORE MISOGYNY, BOOKER STILL BEING A LOSER ASSHOLE (he makes up for it), CREEPY COMMENTS FROM JEREMIAH FINK DIRECTED TOWARDS READER, READER ALMOST DYING, BLOOD, GORE, MENTIONS OF GUNS, FIGHTING. YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF THE MEDIA YOU CONSUME!

I think the bioshock fandom is dying, either that or nobody wants to read bioshock fanfiction…but anyway.

»»————-　★　————-««

- you’d finally made it to finkton, arguably the worst part of columbia. the sad faces of the overworked laborers and the constant voice of fink over the loud speaker made your skin crawl. but it was necessary to find chen lin’s guns for daisy fitzroy.

- after booker fought off multiple firemen, police officers, and those creepy raven guys, fink finally showed his ugly, smug face.

- you’d met fink a few times, needing specific parts for your machines, and during every meeting, he never failed to make you feel uncomfortable in your own skin. how a man could make a woman feel uncomfortable in a dress that reached her ankles with a coat on top blew your mind.

- as soon as fink’s eyes landed on you, his face contorted into someone of a snide smirk, immediately beginning his antics.

- “oh, so you’re a traitor now, hm? be weary of this one, mr dewitt, turn your back and she’ll probably stab it. or her clothes will be off.” he chuckled at his last comment, thinking he was so sly. “let me guess, she’s been leading you through columbia? i’m surprised she hasn’t made an advance on you.”

- you were furious, as one would be, as you stepped forwards towards fink, mostly letting your anger think for you. he raised his gun at you, finger ready at the trigger, squeezing ever so slightly before seeing the sudden flash and a horrendous bang tore through the air and the searing pain of something indescribable.

- elizabeth screamed out and you only realized that fink had shot you after you felt a warm, burning sensation in your side. the sight of the gaping hole in your side and the blood rushing out made you faint, elizabeth quick to catch you as the world faded out.

- you weren’t exactly sure what was happening around you, you could hear the gunfire and yelling, and elizabeth’s heavy breathing over you as she tried her best to fix you up with what she had.

- you regained consciousness after feeling the pricking sensation of something being poured over your face. you coughed a few times and your eyes opened. the liquid on your face was ice cold water that elizabeth had somehow snagged.

- “oh my god, jesus christ, i thought you were dead.” you heard a voice to your right, and you thought it was elizabeth, but as you came to your senses, you quickly realized the voice was way too deep to belong to a woman.

- “booker?” your voice was barely even there, too weak from the amount of bleeding you endured to even try to speak clearly.

- booker actually froze, it was the first time you’d said his first name. usually, you addressed him as “mr dewitt” or “sir” or mostly “idiot” but hearing his first name come from your mouth gave him some sense of overwhelming feeling he didn’t exactly enjoy or understand. of course he pushed it down.

- “uh..yeah yeah it’s me. are you alright?” he asked, not entirely sure of what to say. you didn’t know this yet but fink and every single one of his men were brutally killed in piles around the three of you, the evidence of their deaths apparent on booker’s face, clothes, and hands.

- “seriously booker? she gets shot and you ask her if she’s alright?” elizabeth scolded and shook her head with an incredulous look. he just glanced at her with a grimace.

- you’d grown tired of their bickering already, your body and mind very clearly exhausted in so many ways, but the journey wasn’t over yet. you reached down to the wound and found a bandage. you figured it would hold up until you could actually go home…wherever that happened to be now that columbia was destroyed and mostly deserted.

- you sat up with a hiss and a slight groan, the pain not as unbearable as you thought it would be. whatever elizabeth used was definitely doing it’s job.

- the three of you resumed your journey and unbeknownst to you, booker’s eyes stayed on you the entire time. he was worried, scared, and on edge more than usual. he kept telling himself it was because you were now more of a liability than you’d ever been, but it was very clearly something else.

-so, when the three of you decided to rest for a few minutes in a local restaurant, booker pulled you to the side while elizabeth went off to do god knows what.

- “listen..uh..i’m glad you’re okay. would’ve sucked if you had died back there.” he said, trying his hardest to maintain eye contact while he watched your face contort into a mix between a frown and shock.

-“you are very confusing mr dewitt, you know that? first you tell me you’d very gladly put me in danger to save the girl, and now that i’ve almost died you’re worried?” you accused.

-“no! no i’m not worried i’m just-i was just saying-what i meant to sa-yes fine! goddamnit i was worried. jesus i was terrified that you were going to die.” he confessed and you wanted to smile in victory.

-“hmm, okay mr dewitt.” was all you said, which pissed him off the smallest bit.

- “that’s it? jesus, let me tell you something, okay? this entire trip you’ve been nothing but a pain in my ass, always proving to me how intelligent you are, and i hate you for that. i hate that you’re always right and you rub it in my face in the most subtle ways. i hate that you know columbia like the back of your hand and i’m left guessing where we’re supposed to go next after i piss you off and you refuse to help me anymore. i hate tha-“

- booker’s rant was cut off with a kiss. you’d actually just kissed him. he didn’t know how to react, the kiss was so quick and sudden it genuinely caught him off guard.

- you finally pulled away. “i liked it better when you were quiet.” you said with a hint of a smile on your face. you thought you’d given booker a heart attack the way he had the same shocked expression on his face, with nothing coming from his mouth, until he finally spoke.

- “i hate all those things about you, but i don’t hate you. i-i don’t know how i feel about you. you bring out the worst in me and i love every second of it.”

- you wanted to laugh, but it hurt to even breathe, so you settled on a slightly bigger smile. “i get that a lot.”

-“we should get moving again..” there was something else he wanted to say, but he held back.

- you hoped that when this journey was finally over you’d be able to piss him off some more.

Alright. So. The Bioshock Infinite issue.

I haven't completed the game but I doubt it'll do a 180 to completely change its politics at this point. (Long post so I added a cut!)

I went into the game and immediately recognized the "Bioshock tm" lack of subtlety and depth when dealing with serious political issues. It has been plaguing all the games in the series. But still, I had an optimistic mindset. I told myself that even if it lacked nuance, racism is a very important issue to bring awareness to.

Something that bothered me with the shallow takes on chauvinism and racism in this game is that it portrays them as things of the past. It doesn't help that they're so exaggerated. It doesn't have the bite of things you can actually still see today. It's not pervasive, it takes the idea that bigotry is only ever bigotry if it's blatant hatred to the extreme.

I think that, like the two other games, it has a very rich environment and potential. DeWitt's involvement with the Native Americans genocide could have genuinely been an extremely compelling plot point had it not be relegated to some sort of INDIVIDUAL guilt. His native american heritage is just a small detail within the tapes. The pride his old sergent has about killing tribes that he could be a descent of is never fully confronted, and you even get encouraged to treat him with kindness and mercy.

I'm honestly waiting for this to get expanded on, but it's the reason why I was in denial for so long about what had happened with the revolutionaries later in game. He's still a guy who was part of a genocide and has not fully confronted it out loud. He's unreliable and I would not trust his takes on racism.

With that in mind, I make my way to Finkton. As soon as I get there, I start killing every cop I see without even getting told to do so by the game. I think I might have missed a fuck ton of scripted animations and dialogues by doing this. The game very strongly established the people there are slaves, and are constantly under the surveillance of the cops I just killed.

I am hyped as shit as soon as the revolution rolls out, but DeWitt's first comment about how "Fitzroy and Comstock are the same besides the names" worried me at first. No worries, I tell myself, surely the game will be smart about it! Surely it will be about how DeWitt is wrong and Elizabeth is gonna teach him he has internalized racism from genociding indigenous people.

Then both him and Elizabeth make this comment again. The game HAS to give Daisy a completely out of character moment to even make killing the black female revolution leader seem like a sensible thing to do. It HAS to make the revolutionaries you kill almost all white after this to prevent you from seeing the obvious racism of what you're doing (alongside resource minmaxing I imagine). I went from being hopeful this will be a just and nuanced tale about confronting your own biases to seeing the game is going to be the weakest lib shit ever. Genuinely going down the route of "all violence is bad :(". They have the absolute gall to do this after literally breaking time and space to bring a revolutionary back to life because he was a POLITICAL PRISONER and got brutally murdered by white supremacists. (Also its fucking hilarious I can kill cops in the hundreds but when the oppressed minority wants to then its some horrible terrible thing)

I don't know, this was a lot of words to not say a lot but it's 7 am and I'm still in shambles I cannot believe they did this. Did nobody proofread the script?? How did this even get published?? Why is it so critically acclaimed??

I am really hoping it'll do a 180 but god am I doubtful.

So I've been playing BioShock Infinite for the past 2 1/2 hours and I AM PISSED!

(Gonna use just straight up caps lock here and there through out this)

I accidentally got into an avoidable fight so I wanted to start from where it last saved. And the other few times I've done this I exited to the menu and just went to "continue game" after that, because I figured "restart checkpoint" would start me from the beginning of the area instead and I don't want to do that. But because I just started the area this time I went to do that,BUT APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT WHAT IT DOES?!! I was in Shantytown and when it did that it SENT ME BACK TO FINKTON DOCKS! Thankfully there's also the load chapter feature so I could at least get about 30(?) minutes ahead of this by going the the Finkton Proper(?) chapter. But that still means I have to make up about 2 HOURS worth of gameplay. AND THIS WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM IF THE GAME JUST HAD A SAVE FILE SYSTEM LIKE THE FIRST TWO BIOSHOCKS!!!! I'm still obviously going to play but I think I might on the verge of tears until I get back to Shantytown, I'm only exaggerating a little here.

#bioshock infite #I have the save system so damn much #give me back my savefile system please I need it 😭 #an original post

[cardboard-aliens]

I am so glad more people are hating Infinite. When it reached Finkton it stopped being a good game when it's like "Oh we'll just use tears as a get out of jail free card". Also why did alt daisy just want to kill Booker instead of being like "Oh shit! Another Booker! Hot damn wanna help?"

The tears pissed me off SO MUCH. It's such lazy writing, the characters don't have to cover come the challenges placed before them, they just get to skip them entirely! Booker and Elizabeth don't have to solve the problem of starting the revolution, they can just use magic to make the problem disappear! Its a short cut that takes the punch out of any and all action. Infinite makes SURE not to define the rules of tears so they can be plot convenience for when the script needs them. And BOY does does infinite need them when it's just different drafts tapped together with no rhyme or reason.

I get why Daisy wouldn't trust Booker, she did see him DIE and has no clue about the multiverse so assuming Booker, showing up with the CEO of racism's daughter, is an imposter and there to over throw the revolution is a fair train of thought! What confuses me though is what decides who gets to keep their memories from the previous dimension. Booker, and enemies you killed, get memories of their alternate selves, and Elizabeth merged (somehow) with her alternate self making her the only one left, but why does Daisy not get any memories from another dimension? Why doesn't Booker get any of Comstock's memories?

The game's horrible development shows on how much they bring up plot points and then just drop them two seconds later. Nothing is refined, and the story thrives on excuses to justify the plot. I tabbed out once we started dimension hopping in the game LOL nothing mattered after that the script had given up.

#bioshock infinite #infinite salt #cardboard cutouts #i hate multiverses SO MUCH #as soon as that is brought into a game my brain goes off idc about your story any more
