Ghost Trick is like. What if the key to finding yourself lies in helping other people. What if while saving people’s lives you can also mend their broken hearts and souls. What if a dog loved his owners so so much. What if a giant statue of a roast chicken crushed a woman to death. What if a guy danced everywhere instead of walking. What if you can’t go back to fix all of your mistakes but can still stop yourself from doubling down on them. What if you didn’t remember someone you loved but everything you do is charting a course that can save him. What if you hit a guy with a hard hat at the speed of a bullet. What if you did that with a sweet potato instead. What if a power you’ve only used to try to ruin someone can save her. What if our fates change but we always find our way back to each other. What if a guy became immortal by being killed by a magical meteor. What if that happened to a cat instead.

is this game too niche LMAO

hey. hey you. play ghost trick

about to say something mean but i feel like every "male-specific" issue is something that also happens to women its just that a lot of you dont seem to see women as people

women are also feeling lonely and alienated from communities en masse women are also expected to stifle their mental health for the sake of perfomance at work, in relationships, for children ect women are also expected to work extremely hard to maintain a perfect body and perfect health and are punished for being fat/having hair loss/having health issues especially those that affect ones sex life women are also insecure women are also neglected by parents and teachers and authority figures women are also scrutinized for having emotions and punished for not meeting the gendered expectations of our class and expected to climb upwards and overcompensate while being punished for signs of poverty and we get the added bonus on top of, yknow, being women. your emotional issues are not a Crisis Attacking Manhood theyre the way our society is fucking built you just dont see women as people

i like the term "gallows humor" because it always makes me think of someone getting sentenced to death and being like "i have GOT to be the funniest person at my public execution"

Tricking them there ghosts!!

t3t we lost one of the polycule

t2t t we're sending out a search party

t2t t2t found the bastard

back to being t4t again all is good in the world

the second line of text you see in ghost trick, on the first screen of the game, sets up a motif / bit of symbolism that doesn't fully come into its own until the final chapters, where it is used as the key to understanding the main antagonist. that's good ass writing if i've ever seen it.

“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

This is sort of tangentially related but the association leads to the idea that if someone is hurting you they don’t really love you, and that if you really love someone it’s impossible you’ll hurt them, despite it being demonstrably false.

very much related!! i didn't speak on this aspect of the issue very much in the original post because i wanted to initially put focus on a lack of love being neutral, but the love = morality mindset 100% does damage when it comes to a heroization of love and an inability to reconcile love and harm. all of your points are very real. would also point out an assumption that if another person Really Loves You then they wouldn't want to/can't really be hurting you, which can make it really difficult to recognize harm when it happens in relationships. a lack of love does not preclude the presence of goodness, and conversely, the presence of love does not preclude the presence of harm.
