I love the way you used the interactive medium of games to create a real empathetic connection with Kara, showing both her joys and struggles in daily life. I came out with a good week in the end but it was far from perfect for reasons out of Kara's control.
I found myself deliberating over wearing the clothes that Kara liked the most vs the ones that would make her less of a target for catcallers, and gravitated toward nonwhite women when choosing who to speak to, feeling that they were less likely to perpetuate racist and sexist microaggressions. Then they didn't step in when Kara was the only Black girl in the class and the only one excluded from conversation at school, highlighting to me that the Black experience is unique and that anti-Blackness can be perpetuated by non-Black people of all races.
I love that you didn't just show Kara's struggles though - being honest with and spending time with her friends and family were obviously really important to her, and I think that showing the little things such as swiping her phone in the mornings and petting Kitty helped me to connect with her.
Overall, I found this very insightful - being perceived as female, I found some of Kara's struggles familiar, but being white-presenting, I got a window into struggles I never have to face, and that was really valuable for me. Thank you for making this!
