ZeroCoolGamer Simply Wants Non-Political Games, White Ethnostate
FaceDeerI mean, one of those is a reasonable ask.
glimseIt’s not a reasonable ask because it implies that non-political games don’t exist. It also kind of implies that games didn’t used to be politic. And finally, it implies that having non-white male protagonists is somehow political.
I think you're reading more into "I want non-political games" than is actually there.
Could you elaborate or give an example of unwanted politics in a video game?
Have you heard of the Amarr empire? That’s an unwanted politic in a videogame.
I understand it’s a faction from Eve online but haven’t played the game. Can you give more details about what makes you not want it in a video game?
I’m just meming. Amarr stuff is plenty good. They just happen to be religious zealots and the perfect thing to rail on here.
Yeah, fair enough. When I read about them I realized the reasoning could go in two opposite directions: hating having to deal with religious zealots in a game or hating the way the game is portraying the religious. Tongue in cheek didn’t occur to me lol.
