[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708645, member: 18958"] This makes so much sense to me, but it scares me too. It is like the game comes to define real life, and its rules become more overarching and "real" than those real relationships and even potentially, law. I am thinking here of online "real" and "fake' news. With the onset of the internet, we have a more efficient mechanism to disseminate these ideologies that are larger and realer than the ideologies of State or religion or "family values." I am carrying this too far, I know, with respect to Susie's situation, but when abstract rules and relations become more compelling and override family and community connections, it kind of reminds me of fascism or communism.
