@dorothyk98 is doing a wonderful comparison to a film on slavery in the Danish context (I'm not sure how much I should live tweet or not in case this is unpublished - but super analysis!). #scms21 #scmsM22

I don't study Danish history & I didn't do a deep dive into the context that gave rise to this
#fuckedup view of slavery - I just call it out. Thank you@dorothyk98!#scms21#scmsM22#SeriousGames#SlaveTetris1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
Also this is some super hard core comparative lit, transcending national boundaries, types of media (novels, films, games). Go

She's talking about the (NLDR: dumbass) defensiveness of the developers when people called it out. Yup, they removed
#SlaveTetris component & kept the rest of the stupid game.#scms21#scmsM22 (clearly I have no strong feelings about this game
)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
I love how she called out the developers' defensiveness as
#WhiteFragility.@dorothyk98 love seeing your scholarship after seeing your righteous tweets for so long!#scms21#scmsM221 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
@dorothyk98!


LOVE that you said that removing the #SlaveTetris part didn't do a damn thing since it was "just the tip of the white supremacist iceberg" in the whole#PlayingHistorySlaveTrade game. YES, it trains the player to be a good little collabo in anti-Blackness!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
I really do hate this hellish game. As she knows, there were no Black developers or consultants on this team.

@dexdigi wrote such a great analysis of playing this dumb game#whileBlack. It's such an invidious little "whimsical" game....)#PlayingHistorySlaveTrade (LOL, I was typing this already when@dorothyk98 started to quote him - yup, his analysis is great!)2 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

@dorothyk98 notes how this DUMBASS (that's my continuing editorial comment
) game refuses to allow you to go back to Africa or subvert what the enslaver wants you to do. You win by being obedient. (if I heard this last yr I could have cited you too, but I'm in proofs!)2 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread
I gave a version of this at a Scandinavian conference. So many white feelings.
