>Games discussing politics and political themes are the same as pushing a weird agenda for brownie points
I love politics in vidya, Dude sex is probably my favorite game
If you think that's the same as placing crippled girls in Normandy in june 1944 you're a weird one

This
Political "debates" in the internet are retarded because they're not about actual politics
Switch terms like "SJW" and "/pol/ack" to sports teams fans and it's not so different
This is why "politics" are mixed with unrelated topics because nobody actually likes politics
Also, surprised OP didn't mention MGS
Politics are "policy", not "Us vs them and our characteristics"

When we say we don't want politics in videogames what we mean is we don't want identity politics and strawman caricature.

>yfw you remember kojima was going to dab on the deep state by releasing a game about crashing an aircraft into new York in the fall of 2001 but he got the timing wrong by weeks

He is saying those games are political despite not being made by sjws.
But he is retarded because none of them have identity politics.

It takes a really dumb person to make a game about political idealogies. You're never going to get away from the fact that you used a Company's massive time and effort to tell someone that they're wrong. At best you're just going to get approving nods from people who already agree with you. Society isn't helped by this, you're not brave for using power and influence to talk down to consumers who never had an opportunity of this magnitude. Smart games have philosophical angles, they ask novel questions and offer uncomfortable answers. You don't get people to change their mind by very obviously telling them they're wrong to hold their stance. That's how you get people to double down. This isn't armchair psychology this is a very real effect that anyone who actually cares a out changing minds would care about looking into. You have challenge people with scenarios and real characters not just show them a strawman being torn down.
Seriously who falls for this kind of thing? Did anyone stop being racist because Bioshock Infinite showed white racists getting murdered? Did anyone stop being a sexist because Aloy killed a bunch of evil men in Horizon Zero Dawn? No, they're just a way for people who already agree with the points to boast about how right they are. This is the worst way possible to change people's minds because it does the exact opposite.
