They made Daisy threaten the kid of one of the white supremacists to paint her to be an equivalent to all the racists in power. They definitely intended for her and her faction to be read as “evil” considering the aforementioned fact and that you mow them down in doves with little to no regard or critical thinking. Like that is the biggest fucking Y I K E S in a game filled with yikes moments.

Hey, I'm the anon who wrote the post above you, and you summed up my thoughts way better than me.

Different anon from above:

Or as I've heard a few critics put it: "This is a game that would've benefited mightily from just having ONE black person involved in developing the game's storyline."

AYRT - That's fair enough, I suppose it didn't come across as evil for me though because of the lengths to which poc were oppressed in the game it just came across as though they were resorting to violence because the situation was already extreme. Daisy's motivations were still much more understandable than, say, Atlas in #1 who just was out for his own selfish interest.

And IMO they were not *intentionally* portrayed as evil, it was sloppy writing, like anon before you explained Bioware had intended to make them sympathetic, it just happened to land as "all sides are evil! 1" instead of "even noble motivations can be tainted by violent methods aka all is not fair in war" for the overwhelming majority, which is IMO a far more consistent and sensible point to make, but also sadly requiring more attention and nuanced writing that they were willing to give the game
