spaceoperetta said: When I first started playing stardew I was working retail in a grocery store and while I never romanced Shane…I vibed with him during one of his heart scenes.

-----------------------

SORRY, INCOMING RANT, I HATE SHANE A LOT

I guess for me, I just don’t think being depressed and unfulfilled gives someone the excuse to be a shitty person to everyone around them. Like wow, Shane, you’re depressed and unfulfilled, join the club! You still can’t treat people like this!

To me, the way that Pam’s alcoholism vs. Shane’s alcoholism is treated in the game is really, really striking. Some of it is probably the fact that Penny was always romanceable, but Shane’s romance track was a later addition...? So Penny was always supposed to have this sad backstory of having an abusive alcoholic relative, but Shane ended up having the sad backstory of being the abusive alcoholic relative -- and then you had to be able to marry him anyway.

But some of it, I have to admit, also feels kind of classist and sexist...? Like Pam is the epitome of the “trailer trash” stereotype, and is really presented primarily as a failed mother who makes life harder for everyone in town. And while there’s a scene that’s been added that kind of tries to humanize her through her failed attempts at religion, her alcoholism is never really treated with the empathy (and hope for recovery) that Shane’s is, despite the fact that he is much nastier to the protagonist.

(Also why is an alcoholic the bus driver?)

Whereas Shane gets to have this whole storyline about overcoming his ennui and learning to be a mildly less shitty person (though if you marry him, he still fucks up your house lmao) and his struggles with addiction are really humanized -- maybe even idealized? I get that there’s this fantasy there, both for depressed people of getting better and for people who love abusive alcoholics that one day they’ll change, but... I mean, speaking as someone who’s dealt with suicidal ideation since elementary school, depression isn’t cured just because you fall in love -- and hoping that an abusive alcoholic will one day realize how great you are and fix himself can be actively dangerous.

I’m not going to say that change, improvement, and betterment are never possible! Because they are! We should constantly hope for and work towards those things! But they’re often desperately hard work and personal safety should always come first. If a person treats you the way Shane does, you should leave! Friend, family, or lover! Hit the bricks! They can get therapy and work on themselves and then get in a relationship!

I also firmly believe that we should be able to hire Shane in the late game if just to make up for the fact that we cost him his job, but that’s a whole separate discussion, lmao.

(He likes working on a farm! He’s even more depressed without a job! Marnie’s hobby farm is absolutely not bringing in enough income for all three of them! I don’t want to pet my dozens of animals, collect all their products, and load them into machines every day! Let me hire Shane!!!)

also let me steal Marnie from Lewis, who also sucks

#look I love the game #but let's not pretend that the depictions of mental health are nuanced lmao #looking at you Kent's PTSD #stardew valley tag #replies

lululandia said: I'd read that! Stardew feels like it has the potential for weird deep and strange underpinnings!

----------------

SORRY I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS haha

But you’re right! It’s one of the things I love about that game. On its surface, it just seems like a fun lil farming sim, but then you’re learning about the wizard’s love child and the junimos and your CHILDREN turning into DOVES which can then haunt you through your TELEVISION, and you’re like. Oh, this is a weird and wonderful world that I’m growing parsnips in.

And it doesn’t help that I pretty much never use human skin tones/hair colors for my farmers. I’m always like “I’m gonna play a dryad this time! I’m gonna play a vampire this time! I’m gonna play a witch this time!” and so I have never thought of my farmer as even remotely normal haha.

I just wanna write something creepy and fey for this cute video game ;;
