In this latest edition of "Obvious Things In Detroit: Become Human That I'm 1000% Sure David Cage Didn't Intentionally Put In But Would Absolutely Take Credit For":

Hey, you know how one half of the game is just a copy-pasted upgrade to the buddy-cop story from David Cage's other game 'Heavy Rain', meaning that Connor would've been working with the cops in his story no matter what 'cause Cage just really likes that plotline and cop stories in general?

And you know how Connor is, himself, not actually a cop, but a corporate assassin sent to hunt deviants and kill them, all the way up to when the deviants start to organize, at which point he switches to hunting them down for clues (murder being downgraded to just a fun by-product) until he can find the Deviant Leader and take out the deviant problem at its source?

And you know how hilariously and accidentally insightful it is that Connor - an assassin - blends in with the cops as his media-friendly cover story by:

  • perfectly delivering on their in-game interrogation methods (which we see Hank try out first and then Gavin offer casual suggestions for, and later see Connor some props from Hank if we score a confession by using 'proper policework' and not 'that fancy shmancy android stuff')
  • getting the occasional praise from the game's moral compass (a cop) for being "a good guy with a gun" by having Connor openly kill deviants in a 'good' way (i.e. Hank saying Connor saved lives when Connor uses all his precision-android-aim to shoot that camera operator android to death in Stratford Tower instead of just disabling it, despite those same cops tut-tutting at Markus for killing the other human in the tower because 'only an android could make that shot')
  • emphasizing real-world police brutality and overmiltarization by having Connor's next iteration (the RK-900) literally sold to the military as a faster, more durable, and more kitted out version of himself rather than a change in any tactics or approach?

And you know how I'm saying that that was accidental because David Cage has a consistent pattern of "Military are the next step up from the detective/ federal agent" in all three of his games, so the 'RK-900 being military' point would've also happened either way to show David Cage's intended point of ':( look they replaced machine!connor with a better version of himself, what a thankless reward, you definitely picked the evil path, corporations are bad', so we shouldn't be giving Cage any credit for unintentionally highlighting the real-world overmiltarization of police forces?

And you know how Connor can't make it to the end of the game without killing at least one android, or else he gets recalled by the Big Mean Soulless Corporation for not being a good enough police officer uwu?

Great! 'Cause I just remembered this (link):

The history of policing can be traced back to the days of slavery in colonial America. In the South, where slavery was central to the economy, slave patrols, responsible for capturing runaway slaves and returning them to their masters, was the first unofficial police in America.

So I take it all back - Connor is a cop! :D

'Cause damn if Cage didn't accidentally take cops back to their roots with his whole "The HK-400 killed its master and tried to hide, just like how this Traci killed its master and ran away? Well, we're gonna put an end to that! 🔫🤗💕" shtick from our favourite villain-protagonist.

Which, again, we all know he did purely by accident, because in Cage-land, the only bad guys are Apple. >:(

And also women and gays. >:(

tl;dr - Connor is a cop, he's just very old school, and that's why him and Hank are besties uwu

David Cage may not ‘make games for fags’ but fags sure do like his game. It’s me; I’m the fag.

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb

  • when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.  
  • the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug
  • if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags 
  • also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

“don’t project YOUR issues onto that fictional man” i’m not even doing anything. he’s doing all that shit himself. sorry for spotting patterns. observing. understanding nuances. i guess

how is it my fault he has issues and that, often, our issues are either intertwined or mirror images of one another. I didn’t do that. i am literally just standing here

There is something so beautiful about reaching out to the monstrous with intent to touch it gently. To risk the sharp teeth and the lethal claws, to defy fear and revulsion, and choose to be delicate with something that can be, and often is, incredibly brutal.

I would be SO GENTLE with those tigers before they mauled me completely to death.
