I know, but games don't exist in a vacuum--hell, this game is taking a *lot* from modern day views on religion and American society and politics. So it's not even fair to say the devs could rightly ignore the media's portrayal at large. The issue is that they *did* try to tackle racism and whatnot...they just abandoned any sense of philosophy and morality midway through the game.

Yeah sorry flubbed that last sentence in my last post, what I meant was could you imagine devs trying to tackle historical racism and sexism from the point of view of the oppressed or trying to write a fictional scenario where your standard white bread male protagonist was part of the oppressed group, its sort of a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation.

In regards to Bioshock I get the feeling that they started out with more of a focus on the conflict and then changed it partway through development to more of a character focus. You can see this in the really early trailers that focus on the vox/founder conflict then the later trailers and press releases focusing more and more on Elizabeth and booker.

...you know, I wouldn't be surprised if they switched focus just because of how much of a pain it was to make Elizabeth work.
