Idk if this is the right place but I'm posting anyways. Idk what I'm posting, but I'm posting it anyways.

So someone on The Bad Website came up with the brilliant idea of updating the Orientalist racism underpinning the cyberpunk genre (yes, Aliens is cyberpunk, don't @ me, or do, happy to discuss) for the 21st century and I thought the idea of a Musk-Xinping partnership was funny. After all, Musk is a socialist /s

Also wanted to ask if there's any other Alien fans on here. Trying to set up a Discord RP.

    You meet Robert (?) Weyland in Prometheus though, and he’s like the primary antagonist of the movie, so Weyland Corp was evil already before the merger. Where did you get the lore you’re referring to from?

    I ask not because I want to keep arguing about whether the movies are racist or not (I’m sure they could be when viewed through the right critical lens) but out of an unrepentant nerdy obsession with the universe of the Alien movies.

      Yes, I suppose that's correct. It's after his death that the Yutani corporation buys Weyland Corp.
