As is often the case with media, leftists willfully misinterpreted almost everything about this game’s story.
Set in 1912, the game is centered around a floating steampunk city called Columbia. The middle and upper class residents are explicitly racist and white supremacist. They exploit a lower class of non-whites for cheap labor. Sounds like retarded woke fanfic, right?
But here’s the thing: this fictional city of Columbia literally seceded from the United States. In one possible future, Columbia even attacks and destroys major American cities. So right from the jump, anyone who says that Columbia represents America’s racism and white supremacy is objectively incorrect. America exists in this game, and it is literally the enemy of Columbia.
Yes, the Christians and whites depicted in this game are awful, but so is everyone else. The moment the underclass gains any semblance of power, they turn into murderous commie psychopaths. They immediately reveal themselves to be every bit as evil and savage as their “white supremacist” enemies.
In the end, the game isn’t even about race or class. It’s about multiple dimensions and time travel and family. All that other stuff falls away in the latter half, which is why wokies who actually finished the game tend to hate it. Everyone else checked the tin and raised their thumbs.
Edit: having watched some of the video linked below, it’s safe to say my own recollection of this game was apparently far too kind.
Basically "but they're both evil" is a smokescreen. The hatred directed towards whites is particular and orders of magnitude greater and the depiction of other factions as also morally suspect serves to obfuscate just how deep the hatred for whites is.
I don't expect anyone to actually take the four hours to sit through that, but the refutation is there if you care to engage with the perspective.
I don't agree that the Vox are just some kind of mild misdirection when they're the antagonists, if not outright enemies, throughout a lot of the game, and I don't think that it's all canceled out because Comstock is the villain. It doesn't matter who started it when you're just as bad as they are.
As an aside, since I watched five hours of this,
The assertation that the game's dumbass ending is about killing all white people is a bit far fetched.
All the stuff about how the Irish weren't mistreated was odd for what I imagine American Krogan's political leanings are. The only people I've ever heard arguing for what he does were progressives trying to keep the vaunted noble title of "victim" out of their hands (and also probably trying to justify hating them under their usual purview).
Similarly, his default reading of everything in the game being made for a young white male audience is also something I've only ever heard progressives do.
The moment the underclass gains any semblance of power, they turn into murderous commie psychopaths. They immediately reveal themselves to be every bit as evil and savage as their “white supremacist” enemies.
Honestly I'd say the underclass are even worse then their masters. The second you free them, after risking your ass to do so, they immediately turn on you and straight up start slaughtering people in the streets. Sure the masters were evil fucking slavers but they weren't shiting where they slept.
Sounds similar to how the leftards were disappointed that Far Cry 5 wasn't the "MAGA Hillbilly Hunting Simulator" they somehow thought it was advertised as.
Bioshock Infinite spoilers ahead.

Beginning of a four hour refutation for those who care: https://www.bitchute.com/video/8wfVImc4cV00/

This was an enlightening series. Thanks for sharing.
American Krogan makes some very well researched content.

i don't see how columbia plans on winning that fight, since by the time they get around to attacking the united states the air force exists.
