they have no culture so they substitute it with their political affiliation

"the personal is the political"

Everything is political. You just don't notice it whenever the politics agree with you.

How the fuck is Super Mario Bros political?

mario is italian and therefore mussolini

super mario bros supports nazis

It isn't, but Deus Ex, MGS, Fallout, Mother, System Shock 2, and many other games that Yea Forums drinks the semen of does have political messages, but since they tend to align with Yea Forums's opinions, they get passes.

though you just stated a bunch of objectively good games

name one game with a good story/chracters/gameplay/ANYTHING that contains a political message from the predominately progressive ideology in the industry today.

Stop posting this dumb meme. Western gaming is in a better state now than it was in 2007.

Prey is a vastly superior System Shock successor than the dumbed down trash that is Bioshock.

We actually have some fun retro FPS like Dusk and Ion Maiden now, instead of everything being a boring CoD Clone.

We actually have a thriving indie scene of RPGs and heck, even first-person RPGs like Kingdom Come that is vastly better than Oblivion.

The point is that western gaming is in a much better state now than it was in 2007, especially if your frame of reference is fucking Oblivion.

Prey flopped and now you're getting always-online pozzery and faggoty moviegames until you die of AIDS from your wife's boyfriends dicking. And Kingdom Come is clunky fucking downgraded kikestarter trash that's already been forgotten.

Fuck off westacuck,

>Prey flopped and now you're getting always-online pozzery and faggoty moviegames until you die of AIDS from your wife's boyfriends dicking.
So? At least we got one decent System Shock clone out of it. Whereas the Bioshock series was garbage from day one.

Bunch of dumb pigskins took bay area bait(Spook Ops hotbed), and now they think they are the only ones who ever played videogames and that "communists" are real. Commies are make believe, especially in 2019, though even the accused Soviets weren't down with the fruity bay area shit, that's a modern Intelligence revision, for Malthusian ends.
The only real ism is fruity Freemasonism, which is White as snow.

Such as? The only good stuff from the Xbox360 era consisted primarily of PC games like F.E.A.R. and Dark Messiah, and those quickly died out.

Also, why are you using that image to make your point? FPS were even more oversatured in the 2007 and onwards, and worse, they were all boring 'realistic' miliitary garbage.

Why do faggots like you cry in every thread if there's even so much as 5 words in the OP of a political nature?

>The left and right side of American politics
nice try.
The right is simply not extreme at all right now, unless you're specifically out looking for crazies on /pol/. there's no need to be because the left will treat anything the right does as extreme no matter how innocuous. The left in America (and worse, Canada) is fucking batshit insane right now.

At least in America, the right stayed where they were while the left kept going further and further left to the point where Democrats from the 80s and 90s would now be considered far-right

Dumb straw man. no one claims the whole world is "controlled" by cultural marxist leftists. But:
>how
decades of professors at universities brainwashing entire generations of gentry class with cultural marxist bullshit. This has led to progressive shit show companies like Google (to name just one)

When I started getting grief from lefties over Bill Hicks and George Carlin, that was when I knew they had lost the fucking plot. It's literally one twitter fuelled moral crusade after another. The most worrying thing is no thought given to the backlash, the opposite reaction, the more the left waste their energy on petty shit the less meaningful ground they're going to hold on to when the inevitable right wing backlash hits critical mass.

Some of the CP spammers came from reddit, back in the day it was a pretty big hangout for pedos.

I seem to recall more than one reddit admin getting v&ed over the years.

The 90s and 2000s were "retro" decades. They were decades of hacking, embracing new technology while still doing most things the old-fashioned way, and appreciating all the joys and amenities of the eras before. It felt like all of world history was leading up to this era of escapism, but people still knew what was important in their daily lives. A lot of this was aided by the fact that a lot of national tragedies happened in these decades, so escapism was more desirable, so don't think that I'm completely segregating the good from the bad.
All this changed in 2010, when social media platforms started seeing a massive influx of users. This resulted in more people buying smartphones to make access to their social media accounts easier, and within three short years, the world was transformed into a zombified dystopia, a mockery of its former self. Katy Perry and Minecraft are both symbols of this change, but they are by no means the only vices of this decade. Everything about the culture of the 2010s is designed to create a sterile culture which values shitty trends over valuable intellectual and emotional pursuits.
So yes, Katy Perry and Minecraft are definitely symptoms of the illness, but they are by no means the cause. Unrestrained consumerism and corporate greed are two of the biggest culprits.
