As you know I have a thing for dolls. It was one of the first things we did after fire, and music...okay beer too. These began as spirit icons. Still are subliminally. Later it reflected our family structures. Children nurturing tribal lineages. Then our warrior traditions.
Now they illustrate, and re-enforce our addictions to individualism power random violence, and gross consumerism.
Exhibit "A" above.
I have no idea what digital game this came from, and it doesn't matter. Just as any religious icon from any cult or faith individually doesn't matter. It teaches re-enforces. It does it job that's all.
This item like all it's cohort is what is valued right now.
Our dreams of a barbaric return.
Our it seems world-wide desire to be freed from the constraints of the Enlightenment. Such items as above. Along with the mass fascination with end-time fantasies apocalyptic films comic books games, and cults sez much.
We have no faith in our futures.
None.
Our interconnected world culture is in a vast scream of madness, and agony.
I hope schools of contemporary social anthropology are keeping track of all this. Because these specimens will tell our story to future cultures.
...and despite us there will be some.
My dollies are much nicer, and harken back to "Spirit Icon" beginnings of them sweet things. See above.
