Copy-pasting from here.

I’ve only had this idea for like a couple days so there’s no set in stone details yet. My current idea is that the game in-universe is basically a propaganda tool designed to impart imperial cultural hegemony onto children that disguises itself as an edutainment game meant to teach history, culture, and geography. The head of the game is a BONZIbuddy-ish AI named Jay Mackey (A corruption of Joseph McCarthy) who gaslights the player a lot.

Just like how most Mouthwashing fans miss the game’s anti-capitalist themes.

Honestly if they were gonna have the Once-ler’s family be the reason for him turning evil, they probably should have been the other villain instead of O’Hare, because besides him rejecting the chance to redeem himself and saying “LET IT DIE! LET IT DIE!” which was legitimately funny, he’s just a really generic character that looks like a racist stereotype. Just my thoughts.

Wallace Breen is legit way more compelling than any villain that Orwell has made, and his speeches are infinitely more interesting than that “boot on a human face” speech that all the libs hype up as so scrary.
