Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

12 Years a Slave and Django Unchained are the two movies that immediately come to mind -- obviously these are specifically focused on American slavery instead of racism generally, but they're both excellent, and one's entertaining while the other is devastating (though obviously both are both).
Why/how are these movies better than Detroit, which is an interactive experience?
Because Detroit: Become Human is written by David Cage who writes on about a 8th grade writing level and has all the subtlety of The Rock declaring his next finisher.
Do you honestly think this game is on par with those movies? I think that's borderline insulting tbh
No, I just wanted to hear your reasoning why this would be better to teach racists.
Usually racists don't care about a writing level above 8th grade. Most of them never finished high school.
