The larger spoilers are marked below in the timestamps. Anyone seeking to enter Detroit: Become Human completely blind should avoid listening to this episode**Episode 33 brings us to a companion episode on our review of Detroit: Become Human. We largely praised the game for its fantastic storytelling and compelling characters, but it seems not all were so like-minded. Introducing: Allegra Frank, an ex-writer for Polygon and current editor at thedailybeast. She is none too pleased with the writing of the game or its prominent use of buttons. In an article entitled "Detroit: Become Human tackles civil rights without a grasp of history", she airs her grievances over the game and what she feels to be a poor depiction and implementation of political messaging.In today's episode, we delve into the article in its entirety and explore why Allegra's reasoning and complaints are so severely flawed that they make Beetlejuice answering arithmetic questions on the Howard Stern Show look like one of the world's top thinkers.Original article: Polygon.com//Author: Allegra Frank - Original Article*Bullying or harassing the author of the original article or any other figures discussed in this episode is strongly discouraged and entirely unacceptable. Be an adult.*TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Intro4:20 - Article discussion (light theme/story spoilers)22:00 - 23:30 Markus story spoilers25:40 - individual character theme discussion (theme spoilers)28:45 - All about Markus (light Markus story spoilers)35:30 - BUTTON PRESSES (theme spoilers)41:00 Conclusion: How would Da Journo fix this game?Email any questions, game suggestions, comments, and hate mail to deepfriedgamingpodcast@gmail.com.
