Comment on Is Dustborn actually a bad game or is it culture war bullshit?

Even the positive reviews of the games have criticism of how the story is implemented and that the gameplay drags. But on steam it is overall positive and it looks like honest reviews far outnumber the culture war bullshit.

Short of the introductory scenes that teach you to avoid using the special abilities, I can’t think of a case of the protagonist being manipulative in a negative way. It’s worth noting that she can be as bad as the player though, if they decide to interrupt people and often use her powers to the same end.
To your second point, there are enough examples of Justice being bad, like their officers talking about arresting people purely out of being annoyed, being kinda racist (e.g. saying that two Black individuals must be siblings, then to themselves wondering if that’s racist), going after a little girl for having special powers, experimenting on people, persecuting all people with special powers and regularly calling them deviants (all while claiming to promote diversity), trying to arrest peaceful protesters, and so on.
