Can somebody explain to me the racist part? Are gearbox racist? Or is Maliwan/Atlas sidequest are racist? I’m very new to fandom I didn’t even start second game, is this true??

The Katagawa family and Maliwan as a whole were one of the most (if not the only) interesting things about Promethea and it makes me SO FUCKING MAD that they're in the hands of people who are a) completely disinterested in exploring concepts they set up and b) straight up just kinda racist. Like what do you fucking mean you're going to give me all this interesting conflict about a cult-like family owned business with humanitarian law violations that would make Hyperion blush. And then just not expand on that. Why would you do that to me

Hello, I’m sick, take this.

Honestly for the longest time the way a lot of characters talked about bandits bothered me and I wasn't really able to place why until now. Fl4k outright calls them more savage than the beasts on Pandora (despite them Literally Collecting Organs and other things from the people they kill) and even Troy and Tyreen, two characters who ARE technically Pandoran because of their dad and who are head of bandit clans seeing their bandits as less than nothing and cannon fodder. I think the biggest issue with me is the fact that like. Under different circumstances this could've been *you*. You could've been from a heavily exploited place and fighting to survive only to get treated as cannon fodder and disrespected. If Troy and Tyreen grew up on Pandora things could've been very different for them and they could've been treated the exact same as they treat their followers.

YEAH ITS SO. Man. You can really tell that most of the Borderlands writing staff is White and American from how the word 'savage' gets thrown around, but even more so to how the consensus on bandits seems to be that they're hardly even people It's especially upsetting because these were, by all means, already disadvantaged people (Prisoner, lower ranking employees of dahl, etc) who got dumped and forgotten in a dangerous planet and who are just trying to survive while insanity takes its hold (probably from the combined constant stress, heat and how Everything Tries To Kill You all the time). But the part about Troy and Tyreen especially kills me.

Troy and Tyreen willingly abusing their connections to a group of people they KNOW are desperate enough to do anyrhing for protection and familiarity and exploiting them even further. It's so sad to think about for too long like. What if that was you. What if the only reason that Isn't you is because you were depraved of a connection as a child, as a teen and as an adult too. They would've been treated the same as they treat their followers right now, exploited the same way they are right now, and maybe more given they're sirens. Man. I wish we got to see more human sides to Tyreen and Troy, maybe even some genuinely sympathetic moments where they talk abiut Pandora with some fondness, even if it was just as a way to manipulate the cult more, even if their intention of opening the great vault and destroying everything was still on there, because I think it would be so essential to showing WHY they're so appealing to bandits. They have this twisted idea about Pandora and about themselves growing up in it, and maybe they're almost a little sad that they didn't actually get to experience it before, that there was never community for them before that moment. Fuuck
