Early last year, while working on the next entry in the Life Is Strange franchise, a few developers at Deck Nine stumbled upon something that didn’t belong in their game: Nazi symbols.
Initially, developers noticed a reference to the number 88, and flagged the issue to their bosses assuming it was an innocent mistake. But in the ensuing weeks, others found more problematic signs and in-universe labels, such as references to a racist meme, the number 18, and the Hagal rune. As the number of possible hate symbols mounted, staff grew increasingly concerned that someone was putting these items in their game deliberately as a dog whistle to white supremacists.
They aren’t the developers of Life is Strange, they made the spinoffs. LiS and LiS 2 were developed by Dontnod.
Dontnod gave up the IP when they left. You’re not wrong, but that’s not the whole picture.
Arent they super lefty? I wouldnt expect this out of them. Blizzard maybe.

Does bigotry just go hand-in-hand with people being willing to step on other people to get ahead?
I’m pretty sure that’s the main point of bigotry

There is no group of people that cant be othered. Women, minorities, LGBT, people that differ in religious/areligious beliefs, physical characteristics like weight, mental disorders and neurodiversity, poverty/lower income, the list goes on
You step on people you see as beneath you, and suck up to those you see as having power.
Like the sith.
Good…good!
