Tnks for the Jane's new lore, really really tanks. It made me cry.

You're pretty much the only person here who likes All the World a Stage. But I can respect your opinion and understand where you're coming from.

It is a story about overcoming adversity. Jane never sells out, and it does have a happy ending to it with her becoming the co-host of Quick Talk. But for me, and I think most people here, that's where the redeeming qualities end.

I don't have the same issue with it that most others have. Most people wanted to know more about her mother, because that was a blatant plot hole that should have been addressed (was Loretta Jane's mother like she knew growing up and seemingly shown by her appearance at the funeral, called her mother, or is she not, as she claims during the interview). This story doesn't do that. In fact, Loretta isn't mentioned once. Instead, we are introduced to this Dwayne character (who, admittedly, does decent social commentary on minority films).

My issue is how much of a SJW fever dream it is. It felt like every other sentence was there to remind you "hey, she's a minority!" That's not good character development. It's a lazy attempt to do social commentary in a game where that doesn't belong. And, judging by the reaction by quite a few people, that drove them away from the story (some people even said they were inspired to tunnel Jane due to it, which does admittedly seem a bit extreme). Another issue I have is how lazily they wrote Jane's character. More specifically, how she could never find anything more than small, overexaggerated racial archetypes. If she was even a halfway decent actress, especially in the time period the story seems set in (late 2000's-early 2010's), she should be able to get an actual role. And the sudden heel-turn the director did at the end was just stupid. His logic had fifteen leaps too many and costed him the show, given how long it takes to get actors trained, all in the name of "comedy" (which overly exaggerated accents like that barely qualify as to begin with).

I respect your opinion of this story, but I also want to tell you that you are a lonely voice, and the devs should know better than to follow a story type that no one cares for. I am sorry if I seem hostile, but that's simply how I am when I rant like this.

So, to end this, a positive statement, because you feel genuine in your love for this story. Good job on getting through the Escape through the Hatch with a Key 2 times challenge. That one turned my insanity to full-blast.
