See Amr Al-AaserвЂ™s very good video on the cultural doctrine of the вЂњclassicвЂќ moniker for a further sense of how this tends to manifest and self-perpetuate. If something postured just the right ways at that time, its reputation would inevitably be well-established over decades and thatвЂ™s that, even for a lot of critics that should technically know better, or simply unbeknownst to some like GB East before they saw the reality of the game.

Simply trying to write a certain way was typically enough to establish a fanatical reverence, especially on the PC gaming end of things. Above all else, though, they were вЂњlike nothing else weвЂ™d seen at the timeвЂќ, so any slights are excused or glorified under that umbrella. ThereвЂ™s a common cycle of mythmaking applied to old Smartв„ў games where theyвЂ™re only really remembered for their cult reputation and maybe their first couple acts, closing act, quippable quotes, production gimmicks, etc. On the game side of things, IвЂ™m not surprised itвЂ™s so difficult to find actual critique on the vibrantly gross and trope-ridden portrayal of a black woman & SA victim in I Have No Mouth. The writing of the game didnвЂ™t improve or worsen because of it, and a bad plotline doesnвЂ™t get an excuse just because it eventually gets mildly better (and in my opinion, none of the storylines in IHNMaiMS did). Furthermore, them experiencing the game in the way that they did is still a perfectly reasonable way to experience the game.

Ultimately, while you can make the case that the things he writes donвЂ™t inherently say something about Ellison, he has a habit of making EllenвЂ™s character revolve almost entirely around her past/present life with sex, and little to no else, and does no examination of it in the one story he did have full control over. TheyвЂ™re under no obligation to stick it out if they already think itвЂ™s in a bad place, and I donвЂ™t see a point in expecting them to expect it to get better, when in my opinion it honestly didnвЂ™t.ДЄs well, criticizing them for using a walkthrough for it is rather silly, as the gameвЂ™s writing doesnвЂ™t really change whether you use a guide or not, and the game in question is pretty well-known for being pretty rough to beat period without a guide, let alone getting вЂњthe best endingвЂќ. That said, I donвЂ™t see why them refusing to finish EllenвЂ™s storyline is a point against them and their opinions on the game. Still, itвЂ™s debatable if a storyline or writing in a piece of media says anything larger about the writer itself, even if the writing seems to consistently present such questionable things at face value, with rare critical examination. While I didnвЂ™t personally get that feeling when originally playing it myself, I really canвЂ™t blame Abby for such a take, since even though TedвЂ™s misogyny would be a character-trait of himself, the misogyny present in EllenвЂ™s characterization both in the short story and in the game doesnвЂ™t really do any wonders for disproving such a take. I personally played through the game without a walk-through for most of it, save Ted and the ending, and finished all of the storylines, as well as having read the short story. I donвЂ™t think we need to put ourselves in вЂњEllison fans vs Ellison hatersвЂќ either, IвЂ™m just curious how we unpack and understand his life and work. So IвЂ™m curious, does anyone have fond memories of the game? IвЂ™m interested in hearing how you balance appreciation for Ellison with the issues in the game (or in the story, which I also read). (Recently mentioned in this Kotaku story: ) I understand that immediately after a beloved author passes is not the correct time to be unduly critical, but IвЂ™ve only seen glowing retrospectives of the game and Ellison himself, who seemed to be heavily involved in the game. The four men have committed varying crimes (being a literal Nazi doctor, incarcerating oneвЂ™s wife, being a manipulative con artist, committing war crimes) while EllenвЂ™s вЂњguiltвЂќ comes fromвЂ¦ being raped? Not to mention her being a POC written by white men in such a way that made the GB people shut the stream off on the spot. The game seemed pretty off putting, especially in its treatment of women. I heard about Harlan EllisonвЂ™s passing while watching the вЂњI Have No Mouth and I Must ScreamвЂќ stream on Giant Bomb. CW in this topic for torture and sexual assault which are themes of the game and book.
