Anytime they overreacted was brill, that, the bus thing, and even the bit with Hank trying to deduce who the real Connor is were all hilarious.
 

Not gonna lie, if Kara had had that super stereotypical robot voice that they gave her in the segment, she’d be a lot more interesting a character.
 
I went looking for fanfic again because I hate myself (and I can't give up hope that someone will eventually write some post-game worldbuilding story based on this crapsack world).

You thought autistic androids were dumb? How about some transgender ones? There has been an uptick in them in the last few days.

The tags are a goldmine.

Even if Clancy Brown and Neil Newbon is not dude enough for you, at least they are humans.

Morbid curiosity almost makes me want to see the horrors in the tumblr DBH tags, but I'm pretty sure this is indicative enough of the dumpster fire within.
 
This game is missing one plothole. Everyone in Detroit is supposed to be 100% black in the 2030s and no one can even afford an android.

Maybe in this future setting, Trump finally succeeded in transforming America into the white-ethnostate in his second term

Yep. They played up the slavery angle a great deal, but what it's ultimately about is the question of what defines life and who gets to decide that. Pretty boilerplate sci-fi writing.

But I played it and it's kind of silly and hamfisted even for a Cage-written game. I write that as an actual lover of Heavy Rain.
 
They played up the slavery angle quite abit and it's a pretty shit story if you view it as a futuristic representation of the 19th century USA but the differences kinda make it interesting.

Humans don't really protest in support of the Androids and it seems like few sympathize with them. I think that would be the case in a real life scenario. Black people are humans and you can imagine them thinking the same way. An Android is incomprehensible and there is a genuine threat of them wiping out humanity in some apocalyptic war Animatrix style.

Anyway, here is the best playthrough:

Technically androids don't really have a "gender", but their bodies and voices resemble male or female humans and are only referred to as "it" since they're not humans. Besides as what Eliza said earlier, since android parts can be removed wouldn't it make more sense for him to exchange his upper body for a more masculine look instead of wearing a binder?

Hank can't be gay because he had a wife. His wife wasn't shown in the game, but there's an ex-wife joke sticker on his desk so it's at least implied. At most he could be bi, but there's nothing in the actual game that shows that.
