ZeroCoolGamer Simply Wants Non-Political Games, White Ethnostate
FaceDeerI mean, one of those is a reasonable ask.
exocrinousI never played a non political game and I never will. They don’t exist. They’re a made up fiction designed to manipulate you.
I think it can just mean “no overt political themes”. The implied politics of medieval setting in a fantasy game for example might not be enough to register as “political” for most people. If that game was about the horrors of migrating orcs and how we need to stop them from ruining Fantasyland, I think that might be a bit more of a political game.
Oh well in that case I prefer overtly political games. Like Mario, which is about rescuing the mushroom kingdom’s head of state and driving Bowser’s soldiers out of the territory they’ve occupied. You even lower Bowser’s flag at the end of each level.
Pac-Man or Pong requires at least working electricity and some practice at the game to reach higher levels, which requires leisure time - therefore it’s a political statement that the poorest in the world can’t afford the equipment, the infrastructure and the culture to play and therefore its very existence is a political statement
