    “Black, white, you’ll still not experience what it’s like to be blue. Or have your deed of slavery cursed into a literal lamp.”

      What’s funny about that is the “difficulty slider” doesn’t actually affect gameplay.

      Easier

      Although I’d love to see more class-conscious memes and activism.

      Yes, it’s harder to be black/hispanic. Yes, it’s harder to be a woman. Yes, it’s harder to be LGBT, especially T. But what really sucks so hard and hits almost all of us (and minorities often get it even worse due to workplace discrimination and lower rates of ownership!) is the oppression of the working class.

      Our most unscrupulous and evil oppressors don’t lose all that much from retranslating slogans about equality between people of all genders, races, sexual orientations etc.; in fact, they will play chameleon and pretend to support any dominant rhetoric - except the one that can actually make a giant change, but at their expense - the rhetoric of a class war. Combine this with corporate power and reach, and you’ll see how we got to addressing literally anything but not the elephant in the room.

      Worker-led societies generally promote equal access to jobs, education and services to people of all ethnicities, genders and other traits, bolster a culture of global friendship and cooperation, and promote sustainable development that puts people - all people - first.

      It’s in our common interest to put class war as our very first priority - for the greater good of us all.

          It’s not prejudiced, though.

          inb4 but I’m white and had a hard life - it could’ve been even harder.

    I didn’t see the eyes at first and though the mustache and beard were representing them, turning the genie into biblically accurate version

    You can’t see it but the genie also changed his name.

      Yeah, because being objectified and sexualised from before you even hit puberty, having fewer rights (including those to your own body), getting paid less for the same work and not at all for all the work that isn’t considered work by men like raising kids and running a home, wondering if we’re one of the women who WILL statistically get murdered by their partner on any given week, being subjected to near constant rape threats and almost certainly (again, statistically it’s pretty much all women) surviving sexual harassment and abuse if not rape too and then facing an entire system dedicated to discrediting and blaming you while protecting the abusers (“wouldn’t want to ruin his life over a bit of fun”), as well as having to deal with misogynistic asshats such as yourself who convince themselves that because men buy us drinks at bars (in an expectation of sex, of course) we’ve got it easy, and pretend none of the other things are happening because it’s easier to gaslight your victims than it is to accept that you’re a massive and active part of the problem, on a daily basis, is a real fucking treat…

      Ass.
