Yeah I played it. She was player bait, a classic femme fatale. You were supposed to end up at the racist rally because look she has fun hair and then oop regret your decisions.
Orwellian is a misnomer here, though. The “game” was literally about getting on with homework instead of being drawn into sketchy shit. Unless you really hate homework and you want to rage against learning idk
This is very obviously an English nationalist, nativist, xenophobic, racist, rally.
Whilst it’s pointless to further discuss precise authorial intent, what is interesting is your insistence that this little illustrated story is not referencing the far-right with a character that has been subsequently co-opted by the far-right.
No I think these are cultural differences, this was written for an English audience. Ironically the xenophobic Brexit vote was iirc campaigned largely on sending emigrants back to Poland.
Yeah, studies are mixed, but all interesting. The fact the studies were commissioned at all points to there being some concern, though seemingly somewhat overblown. As you say, the main anxieties were financial.
