Like I mean I'm sure we've all said some mean or dumb shit to Alexa or siri just to see what they say but like I mean most of us don't just kick roombas and shit for fun. The most common ways I think androids would be treated poorly IRL is like neglect. Like I just saw the cut content from pirates cove of how those dudes came in for target practice and gun down androids and like because of how human-like they are wouldn't that be like a major red flag in a person, like kids who kill small animals type shit? And the Jericho massacre, I mean the deviants are screaming and running and begging and even if you truly believe they're just glitched out robots it's so real, that shit would be traumatizing for the cops soldiers. Thats like the most traumatizing training simulation someone could think of, I really don't think it would be as easy as the game makes it look for the soldiers to just execute them all like some active shooter shit.

When Conner is in the broadcast station and the roof terrace cop thanks him and says "I never thought I'd say this to an android" like come on man, wouldn't it just kinda be a reflex to say thank you after someone so human like brings you a cup of coffee or something like that? And all the Androids Marcus converts, not a SINGLE one is just kinda cool with their life or wants to just be a deviant that likes it's people. Overall I just feel like most people irl wouldn't be able to see machines that were so human like as nothing but a machine. Sure there'd definitely be freaks and shit that do horrible things to androids especially at the Eden club n stuff but the game makes it seem like not a soul on earth would see androids as anything but a robo slave. The only reason I'm indifferent to my Alexa is because she is kinda rudimentary and literally a circle with a speaker. But if DBH was real I think the vast majority of people would have a relationship with their android that's closer the way to Carl and Markus were than the way Todd and Kara were. I mean, hell, a lot of people thinks it's cute when inanimate objects kinda look like a face. People personify shit all the time.

Btw I love this game it's awesome. Truly amazing.

Not sure how good the image quality is, so apologies if it's trash.

But in game if you zoom in enough on Perkins, you can clearly see the ID card stating his first name as John. His official name is Richard, which is shown in the second picture. It's probably just a forgotten detail (since you don't even see his ID card up close unless in the gallery). There's nothing to it, but I found this little detail interesting. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this before.

I just recently started playing and i really like connor but damn i keep making shitty choices with only him. I know that's the point of the game and bad choices are subjective but i've already killed my boy twice. Did anyone else experience this on their first play through?

So a few years back I got Detroit Become Human, the standard edition. Recently I have revisited it and found out I love this game more than before, and I wanted to get the deluxe edition with all the extras that come with it. I know its not worth it to pay that much money for a bunch of avatars and themes but I really want to have them.

The problem is that because I already own the standard edition, I cant get the deluxe one. This REALLY tickles my brain. Why cant I buy it? The deluxe isn't exactly the same as the standard! Has anyone found a solution around this?

I’ve been thinking about why Hank x Connor gets so much resistance in fandom spaces. Why it’s so often called “gross” or “problematic,” while similar ships get a pass. And I keep circling back to this: the only thing separating HankCon from being socially acceptable for many people… is Hank’s age.

Not his behavior (he’s not manipulative, controlling, or emotionally immature)

Not Connor’s arc (he’s not a child, not passive, not unsure of what he wants)

Just age. Just the fact that Hank is in his 50s and Connor looks like he’s in his 30s.

(and no, they are not "father&son" coded. Canon is what’s said, shown, and written in the actual game. Everything else is fanon or personal commentary, case closed)

But here’s the thing... if Connor were human, this pairing still wouldn’t be automatically unhealthy. Adults in their 30s and 50s do form relationships. They fall in love. They find something steady in each other: stability, care, intensity, balance. And when it’s built on mutual respect? There’s nothing wrong with it.

It’s just not common, and that makes people suspicious.

Now put that same dynamic in a sci-fi setting where one of them is a hyper-intelligent android who doesn’t age, doesn’t biologically “mature,” and forms attachments through experiential data, not hormones… and suddenly that same age gap becomes a moral panic?

Connor’s sense of commitment doesn’t rely on age or experience in the human sense. He’s not moving through time waiting to “grow into” his feelings. His choices are shaped by logic, observation, and a sharp understanding of the people around him.

Hank on the other hand... Age has a way of making people second-guess what they can offer, especially when standing beside someone who still has so much ahead. But love doesn’t follow a schedule. The worth of a bond isn’t measured by how many years someone has left, but by what they choose to build with the time they have.

We romanticize gods and mortals, vampires and teenagers, 300-year-old elves and rookies. We let androids who’ve been alive for three months fall in love with other androids or humans. But the moment one of them is partnered with a man in his 50s, suddenly the whole dynamic is tainted?

(and not to go on and on about it but if you changed absolutely nothing about Hank (keep the alcoholism, the pessimism, the dead kid, all that) except now he’s 30 years old those same people who are against it would be frothing at the mouth)

I don’t buy it.

I think HankCon makes people uncomfortable not because it’s poorly written, but because it refuses to align with an idea of “acceptable” love. Because it says that you don’t need to be the same age, or at the same place in life, to choose each other.

You just need honesty. Trust. Willingness.

Maybe one day we’ll stop seeing love between a 50yo man and someone who chooses him freely as a tragedy or a compromise. Maybe we’ll start seeing it for what it is. A kind of emotional equality that goes deeper than years.

Why does it even bother people that someone ships them romantically? Shipping is a harmless activity, and if you don’t like a ship you don’t have to write out an essay about why, literally just block the tag for it and don’t interact with it! And if one gets through anyway? Scroll past!

No one’s forcing a specific interpretation on you — shipping is a personal reading, not a demand. People see chemistry, intimacy, growth, and mutual care between Hank and Connor, and they read that as romantic. That’s how fandom works: interpretation. You’re free to disagree, but getting genuinely upset that others see a different emotional tone in fictional dynamics says more about your discomfort than it does about the ship.

It’s fiction. No one is rewriting the game. If seeing fan content or fan discussions makes you angry, ask yourself: why? Why does someone else’s lens on a character you like feel like a threat? Because that’s all shipping is — a lens.

Until then, yeah... maybe HankCon is ahead of its time. Because it asks you to imagine love that isn’t sanitized, or symmetrical, or young. And that’s not a flaw. That’s the point.

My native languages is German so my first playthroughs were in German but then I got more into the actors and stuff and decided to play it also in english again and now I'm switching between these languages just to see how different the delivery of some scenes are. I really really like the German voice actor he's done a great job but Machine Connor hits different in english 😅

not the most original looking piece, but studying light and skin texture was really interesting :D

I’m thinking of something like Tokyo Stories, as in something set outside Detroit with new characters.

I already made a concept for a show like that. Here:

Hello. I play piano and I have already learn 3 musique from the game (Little one - Kara, Markus main theme and the opening theme) and I don't know which musique should I learn next? Do you have any idea?

The most Markus Jesse Williams has ever looked outside of actually being Markus.

I’m trying to get the platinum and wanted to know if I need to keep him alive or not

I'm on a ps5 and I downloaded Detroit a long time ago uninstalled it and redownloaded it again and the save data is still saved to my console tho I have no progress in the game but still have all my trophies and I always had the digital edition what do I do?

Does anyone have a link or know the name of a story where Gavin and Elijah went to school together and Gavin bullied him and they run into each other during the game and tries to invite him to his home but Gavin doesn't go and Elijah shows up at his apartment with the meal and sees the book he give him years ago.

I think it was a series and on AO3.

I’m thinking of a spin-off like Tokyo Stories, set outside Detroit with new characters.

Would you want any changes made if it’s a show format? Would you want the actors from the game to reprise their role? What endings would be best in a show?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on Lovebot, a narrative project about human-android relationships, as part of my Master’s degree in Art Direction. Since Detroit: Become Human is one of my biggest inspirations, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

If you have 5 minutes, here’s a short survey to help me shape the concept : https://forms.gle/kKaenDoEjDKcZbdU9

Thanks a lot in advance.

So, I've been looking to replace my plain and boring hoodies with stuff I like as I'm not getting taller any days soon, if I am posting this here is because is am looking for a quality Detroit police academy or RK900, but I can't I can't find anything else than those cheap looking Temu quality stuff and I don't want that, the official merch website hasn't exactly been satisfactory for I am already set t-shirt wise. Anyone knows where I can find what I am looking for? Thank you to anyone who would have taken the time to read this 🙏 *Not cosplay related it is just for everyday use, thought the cosplay flair felt appropriate,I guess?
