Detroit: Become Human - the fandom
<p>A questionably written game gave rise to one of the most exuberant and creative fandoms in recent years. What was going on with the fandom that turned a barely-there character into a beloved fan favorite, filmed an entire feature-length movie, and wrote millions of words about playing with wires in a sexy way?</p> <p>Content notes: The whole episode's about erotic robot fan fiction, so I'm slapping an Explicit label on this.</p> <p><a href= "https://theredpen.simplecast.com/episodes/episode-8-video-games-are-bad-actually"> Listen to Amanda's previous, very thorough breakdown of Detroit: Become Human here</a></p> <p><a href= "https://isaacmeyer.net/2022/08/detroit-become-human-the-fandom/">Show notes here</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/facingbackward">Support the show on Patreon</a></p>

Detroit: Become Human - the game
<p>What happens when a writer tries to make oppressed robots stand in for tons of different kinds of real marginalized people in the same story? A confusing, frequently offensive, occasionally interesting mess. Amanda Jean joins the podcast to tackle Detroit: Become Human, a game that tried to make its robots an allegory for everything at once.</p> <p>Content notes: We discuss some real-world atrocities the game alludes to, including the Holocaust, American slavery, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and antisemitism.</p> <p><a href= "https://theredpen.simplecast.com/episodes/episode-8-video-games-are-bad-actually"> Listen to Amanda's previous, very thorough breakdown of Detroit: Become Human here</a></p> <p><a href= "https://isaacmeyer.net/2022/08/detroit-become-human-the-game/">Show notes, including some of the scenes we discussed, here</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/facingbackward">Support the show on Patreon</a></p> <p>Tune in next time for our discussion of the game's fandom, which took the game's characters (and a few who barely appeared in the game) in some unexpected directions.</p>

Westworld (1973)
<p>Cora and Demetria take a trip to a future that's obsessed with the past. Is Westworld a typical 70s western, or is it a twisted nostalgia trip through 50s western tropes? Is it saying something about American masculinity, or is it just a story about scary amusement parks? And are these robots even sentient, or just glitchy?</p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/facingbackward">Support the show on Patreon</a></p>
