Disco Elysium: Calling Kim a Slur

Never would have done this if no one asked for it.
Kim's actor puts on a good performance. I genuinely felt bad about this.

    100% I think It's easier to take it as Harrier is just an amnesiac and thinks like a child/ in an very immature way Which is why he's like "Kim look at this thing or that." But turning it on it's head with the "You have no respect for me, it all makes sense." was very clever I definitely agree.

    Just realized that Claire (the union boss) is pretty much the only character who calls you Harry - and you can alos take that however you want: at one hand it's a power move and clearly meant to mock the questionable authority of the RCM, but on the other hand: the fact that it's literally the first time in the game someone is calling you by your name is also disarming - he's only character shrewd enough to understand that someone high up at the RCM is trying to fuck you by putting you on that case with only Kim as backup; and even though he's exploiting that weakness - he acknowledges the human cost of the political games that you're caught in between.

    Disappointing Kim is heart-wrenching, but the part that really does it for me is Volition's reaction to you accepting that you're an irretrievable human catastrophe. Volition, who the whole game is trying to get you to face reality and do what is right for you, who is always level headed and unemotive, is absolutely floored that you don't even feel the need to change at all. That is true horror, your own self finally giving up on you and accepting that you don't even want to be better.

The pale, the love of your life leaving you, even the case itself are all adversities outside of our understanding and it can feel like there's no hope, there's nothing you can do to stop these monsters from eating you piece by piece, except there is, you solve the case didn't you? Maybe if you push on you'll be able to defeat more of the monsters, and that ressonated with me a lot, but that's just my interpretation

    ​@@TheSonyron "Yellow" is a common and enduring slur for people of (usually) East Asian descent. It goes back to the 1700s but was popularized in the 19th century as the term "yellow peril" because a common way to refer to the perceived threat that Asian influence had on Western (American, British, European) lifestyles. The term is extremely racist and is based on skin colour. "Monkey" or "monkey man" is also a common racial slur, often for black people, but also used for just about any non-white ethnic group. It comes from the belief that non-white ethnic groups are somehow "less evolved" or more "primal" than white people. I did my best to explain this tactfully and accurately, but I am white and this is not my area of expertise, so if anyone reading this has any corrections or additions please let me know.

    That's the thing, isn't it? For one, it shows Kim's strength and fortitude to not do that - but for another, Kim knows that in their society he can't get away with something like that the way Harry can because of what he looks like. He's built up that massive restraint and force-of-will to make it so people *have* to take him seriously (it's telling that the Brow-Off shows that Kim's Authority is absolutely off the charts). Kim and Harry are great foils - they're only one year apart in age, both born Revacholians, both in the police force for twenty years (Harry has actually only been there for 18 years), but the way they've been treated in their world is very different. Even beyond the racist comments he gets from other characters in Martinaise, it's telling that Kim is as clever as you, and *considerably* more competent, and yet despite Past-Harry's constant drinking and crazy-difficulty-to-work-with, Harry's still been been offered two more promotions than Kim has over the same amount of time (to be a lieutenant double-yefritor instead of a lieutenant). If Kim lost his cool and hit Harry, it'd be blamed on him.

It's stated in the game that Harry started working himself to death after the break up, taking roughly two cases a week! which has lead to his whopping 216 cases solved with only room for one more open case in his ledger. He got his rank cause of his eccentric superstar cop persona and unorthodox approach to interrogation I.e." the can opener". plus Kim was a junior cop for thirteen year technically which in my opinion is where the real prejudice was, seeing how clever and competent he was!

    Well, I'm a half asian in a culture that has racism pretty normalized, and I have to listen slurs almost on daily basis. They aren't that hurtful at all, to an adult person at least, but just as game said - it's like a broken record, heard one time too many. Feeling of alienation despite being diffirent in a look only is real. And his feelings and opinions are so on point. Hopefully it will make at least some people who play this game think about that stuff.

    I must mention. This moment is one of the best representations of the human condition. You are there. In the moment. Everything is going right. Everyone there is on your side. Taking vibe notes from you. And then... then you misread it for one moment. And call, Lieutenant Kim, the one who has, against his better judgement, backed you up through it all, a slur. Everything in your mind then turns 93 degrees. Nothing can bring back the vibe, nothing can take back the words, which you threw in a fit of blinding energy, nothing can win back the Lieutenant. As if you learned nothing, and are just coasting through it all, thinking you are invincible. These seemingly simple moments, with no bearing on the important events form and shape the entire future of the relationship. Always keep your vibe in check.

It made me realise that when Kim is quiet or sounds dismissive towards you in a normal run, it is nothing compared to the cold silence when he gives up on you (My first run was also a hyper empathy autistic goober kind of run- kind of rp'd myself- so the difference was soooooo jarring. Going from Kim being pleasantly surprised that you care about his feelings to the resignation that he's in another awful situation with a fellow officer, yet again.).
