Its funny, all of the satire of Bioshock that they love to talk about and how it shows the evils of Objectivism and Capitalism.
But never a word for Sander Cohen. The Jewish "artist" who thought himself above needing to produce anything the public would want, so he got into Rapture to literally devolve into infinite degeneracy and hedonism of drugs, gay sex, and producing art no one wanted.
You'd think it would be an easy dunk on Ryan's philosophy, as his very existence undermines it as he is very much a parasite. But he is also a fucking perfect example of a modern Leftist, so he just gets brushed aside as the silly funny man from one level.
The 'doubters' is so scary close to how modern celebrities use 'haters' as a disdainful dismissal of any criticism is so on point it barely counts as satire. It's the same with dr lamb, not a peep about collectivism being just as bad or how manipulative bad actors can be worming their way into power under the guise of good. Maybe that didnt help the sequels reputation, come to think.
Nothing about the sequel helps its own reputation among the fart sniffing Lefties that make up game critics and a huge part of the original and Infinite's fans.
It has a black mammy having to realize that her prejudice is wrong and that her hurt feelings were making her easy to manipulate by an evil party, and just because she was discriminated against doesn't make it okay for her to do the same to someone else. The line "A monster doesn't do that, a thinking man does that" could come straight out of an anti-racism PSA from the era.
That's a single boss from one level. Nothing about that would go over well with them and is a huge reason why it never gets "forgotten gem" coverage.
