“Let’s not even start on whatever the fuck happened with Bioshock Infinite, a mediocre-as-fuck shooter, not even a good Bioshock game, but I’m pretty sure a lot of journos and gamers really wanting to fuck Elizabeth and really enjoying its “Bad White Man’s Redemption” and “both sides are bad” bullshit story was a…

“Why are you making rural Indiana out to be some dank cultural void where on White Pop Culture can get in but Blackness can’t?”
