my central padmé take is that she is someone who constantly and increasingly feels like she has blood on her hands that she can never wash off. this is the core of her deal to me. ever since i started seeing her like this she has never ceased to make perfect sense to me

People are judged by physical traits and I can't get over that
Not in the blackpilled-incel-grr-women-will-never-fuck-me way, I mean, in general, you're truly limited by your physical appearance and physical traits
There is simply nothing you can do to remove those traits from people's perception of you without being in a situation in which they are entirely removed in the first place -- e.g., posting anonymously on the internet
Even on the internet, you can see how people's perception of each other shifts based on what information they have on how they are physically in real life ("oh, that person is probably white," or, "oh, that person is probably a 40 year old man," or, "oh, that person is probably trans")
I've been guilty of this too, but it's kind of insane
how much of a sin it is to simply have a certain body, to have certain genetics, to look a certain way
I even see this in LGBT spaces to an extent
People going for "masc"/"fem" looks and wondering why they don't pull it off
Because you lack the physical traits associated with the look you're going for. that's it. that's what people are judging you by.
Trans people being obsessed with "passing"
again, it's about these arbitrary physical traits associated with the gender you're transitioning to
it's endless
it's literally just how we are as a species
what was that study?
we judge people within 5 seconds of meeting them?
how do you judge a person that quickly without basing it on entirely off of their physical characteristics?
you don't
even things like how they carry themself are arguably physical characteristics and don't tell that much about personality or how they think or what they've done in life
that's all
we're obsessed with looks and aesthetics as a species and that's not changing
it kind of makes me feel a bit unironically transhumanist at times
or even thinking that something like people opting in to an ideal simulation with other people would be kind of a good idea
but until all physical characteristics are choices for people in some way we're always going to have this problem because humans have brains that specialize in pattern recognition
Fallout New Vegas has an impressively cohesive thesis considering how big of a game it is. The theme of “if society cannot move on from the past, it will repeat the sins of the past” is present in all of the main factions and most of the minor factions. The DLCs extrapolate that to a personal scale.
I just can’t think of a theme that is THAT integral to every part of the game in any other fallout game I’ve played
