Hey everybody. I'm closing the petition because as I thought, it wasn't a big deal to anybody. 'It's just a videogame' dismissive mentality. Nobody really noticed that the original story was a dig at our current times with all these people like Musk messing things up, and how a call to action might be needed to remove them.
I just wish people would understand that I point this kind of stuff out for all of us, because I notice when something is wrong. 1.7, 8 and 9 are all gone because the story of resistance was thrown away. Our daily struggle is apparently just edgy flavoring to add to a character and doesn't really mean anything at all, according to the dbags on reddit. Society is made almost entirely of us, and yet we can't even team against a poor decision on a game company. No wonder Trump is president.
I dunno I'll keep things up for one more week but that's it.
Petition for Lower Class Representation in a Videogame That Silenced Us
(Petition link in URL box. It's https://chng.it/SvymV5mN4S )
So since this isn't reddit and you're all intelligent I'm going to be direct with this. Do you know about books like The Great Gatsby being banned in schools because it points out how awful aristocrats are? It's the same situation in a videogame called Zenless Zone Zero.
In the first half of a story (1.6) they include the struggles of the lower class and a Robin Hood named Hugo that is willing to do anything for them and get revenge against the higher class that both raised and abused him (Moral Grey character). It's not an edgy or silly story, they literally have a mother die so that her child can get support money she herself can't provide.
In the other half (1.7, the half we're protesting) all of these plot details are forgotten about. The classes of society are barely brought up, the story length is much shorter compared to before, scenes don't make sense, random elements are thrown in, and Hugo is bound and locked in
Because for some reason our schools are run like businesses instead of government institutions. Sure, let any random goober decide what can and can't be taught. Great idea. Let's also charge money to make society more educated, and then wonder why society chooses to be stupid. Honestly as somebody who goes to college, much of the info can be found on google anyways (Tech professors even told me to just do pluralsight tutorials instead of their own lessons). Unless you're getting hands-on training, the no-child left behind style of teaching is a complete joke. Just quiz after quiz, forget it all, nab degree and run into the brick wall of job hunting.
