    Tbf, meaning can be conveyed purely with subtext. To be even more fair, absolutely no mainstream piece of media lectures the viewer/watcher/listener on why being a white man is bad.

      Iunno, I felt Baldur's Gate 3 had a very strong condemnation of the hubris inherent in white men through the existence of Gale Dekarios.

        I can see that reading, but it's undermined by ... How do I do spoiler blocks?

        It's not like he blows up or anything. I think in the later patch he gets an even happier ending.

        Criticising the consequences of a patriarchal white supremacist sexist society isn’t the same as condemning white men as a whole.

          When the vast majority eagerly participates in patriarchal white supremacy, that kind of takes the knees out from under your argument. Sounds a whole lot like that whole "#notallmen" horseshit to me.

            Yeah nah, I’m not saying it as an excuse for men. My point is that criticising a system where most men participate in is not the same as saying all men are inherently shit - which guys like Boogie are pretending.
