Why do gamers have a problem with "politics in video games" now when games often had political themes in the past?
Why do gamers have a problem with "politics in video games" now when games often had political themes in the past?
drink bleach and shoot yourself in the mouth, you fucking failed abortion
then: game well written, good game play, politics is politics in the sense of the game world
now:game not well written, game play is stale or recycled AAA fare, politics is actual real world politics that breaks the escapism of the game world.
Everything is political whether you like it or not. Not doing anything is political too because you're going with the flow and allowing the status quo to continue. The issue is that people don't like it when the politics are not pandering to them. Maybe if they weren't so insecure about themselves they wouldn't mind viewing other political views rather than the ones they've been spoon-fed their entire lives. Then again most people don't know how many or what the branches of government are.
Good luck finding any intelligence from "gamers" whose only political views are SJW bad because they're mean to my video games.
They grew up.
Bioshock is literally a game about why a political system doesn't work. Who the fuck is claiming it wasn't political?
Why do you keep spamming this thread when you get BTFO every time, ResetEra?
>Why do gamers have a problem with "politics in video games"
They're leftist ones that that they don't agree with.
>when games often had political themes in the past?
Those of the past were fairly populist and easy for pretty much anyone to agree with, an opposite affect you can see with the fairly obvious polarization.
Stop posting this stupid reddit maymay.
None of this game criticism based Trump.
all the games there are political. thats the joke.
Obvious bait but
>New age western-centric identity politics
>Politics as old as civilization ranging from rich vs poor, the nature of war, mankind's survival, religion, mind control etc that are relatable to every culture
Gee I wonder which one feels pandering and offputting
she's not wrong
It's like the difference between a momentary dick-shot as a dude's getting out of the bath, and 12 guys going at it in a sweaty pile for 30 minutes. Sure, it's just a naked guy ... but ... you know? There's a limit to how hard you can push. No pun intended.
Besides, the main difference is simply one of time. Deus Ex, for example. The late 90s were not nearly as politically charged as 2019. People weren't as aware of every little fucking thing "the other team" did. And, honestly, no one really cared. So you could use real world themes and scenarios in your game and it wouldn't bother anyone. 2019 is, obviously, very different.

Simple. Ingame politics about a fictional country/world is not the same as using a game to make a real world political statement to satisfy your inflated ego
You wanna do that shit you can do it on twitter I wont care. Leave my videogames alone
It's because "politics in video games" is a misnomer. What people actually mean is either
a) Hamfisted political commentary
b) A clear political ideology being pushed through the game.
Both of whcich pull down the quality of a game and neither are done because the creators think they will improve the game.
>feelsguy
>politics
Bad thread
I miss the 90s. Where did it all go so wrong?
The ones i played on that list werent pushing an agenda. Bioshock was based off of Rand dystopias, Fallout is literally just democracy vs republic vs utilitarianism, VTM made some shitty jokes about bush and communism, cod is literally just killing terrorists who we were at war with at the time.
Many politics in games today are taking a side and its fucking obnoxious. Many are not, but it exhibits the state of the industry when a bunch of videogame losers think their game merits trying to make a point
this repost is lame
Are you being rude on the internet again? have some manners.
please tell me what politics fucking FALLOUT has
There's a difference in using timeless political themes and just shoehorning in present day politics that will be just obsolete references within a year or two.
Talk about a straw man argument.
>VTM made some shitty jokes about bush and communism
that's literally what Watch Dogs 2 did with Trump and Martin Shkreli, and snowflake gamers lost their minds.
This. you know well why op.
Before it wasn't blatant, now the main fanfare is progressive politics being pushed onesidedely down everyone's throats to the self applauding autistic developers. We are actively seeing the quality of games suffer because of unnatural hiring techniques and management that acts as an in-studio twitter mob ready to bust your motherfucking ass if you disagree with them "politically". What? This is supposedly video games we're discussing?
Trannies aren't politics.
There is no such thing as a video game with a good/great story.
1950s America bad
Gonna take a very political shit in my toilet in a minute
Devs in the past used politics to push their games.
Now devs use games to push their politics.
MySpace was the start of it. Facebook is where it really picked up steam. And it's been all downhill ever since. Sure, we had mIRC and AOL Chat before that, but those were completely different. Both in function and community. They didn't have normies, mainly.
based and truthpilled
fuck gamers
theres a difference between having political themes and having a political agenda.
>POLITICS THAT DON'T CHALLENGE MY VIEWS GOOD
>POLITICS THAT CHALLENGE MY VIEWS BAD
So why do people here call it political every time?
Isn't classic Sonic the Hedgehog a political statement? Nature vs. Corporation?
>old game politics were about objective truths all of human has struggled with in history such as war is bad, governments can be sneaky, and society is wild
>modern game politics are about le current issue, literally never referencing history because this has never been an objective problem in human history since it's a non-issue in the first place, the moral isn't judging humanity as a whole, it's judging very specific people or ideologies simply because the creators don't agree with them
wanna know how i know you are a discord tranny?
Having political themes is not the same thing as being politically charged.
I hate you absolute fucking retards.
There's a difference between using politics to build a world and using a world to justify political pandering
I don't know why you're asking me, I'm not connected to the hive mind, I can't find a consensus.
but there's a big difference between a game that's political and a game with a political agenda.
Trannies are all about identity politics of marginal minority. Virtue signalers screech of trans rights all the time, and (maybe I've just been lucky) it feels weird because I have never even seen a tranny in my entire life.
There's too much money to be earned from gaming. Being a gamer is the same as being an Instagram or Facebook influencer. It's not unique or skillful but a popularity contest. Casino's are becoming jealous of the gaming industry.
>Before it wasn't blatant
Fucking Deus Ex, Bioshock, Vampire: The Masquerade and MGS3
NV is very clearly of the opinion
>technocracy good, democracy bad
and it was released during a time when people were starting to voice their concerns over the power internet technocrats like Google possess and whether or not something should be done about that. I don't think that's a coincidence.
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHY WONT YOU WATCH MY PROPAGANDA
I never understood the idea that an artist's message is "pushed" in art. like, what is the less strenuous version of that? if i make a game, and the MC is female, blasting bad guys and protecting her friends/family/pet cat, is that forcing feminist views? what if I have an all male cast, except for one female who they have to rescue. isn't that forcing a view that women are trophies to be fought over?
The politics in games people reject aren't the kind that Morrowind, FF7, or Bioshock. People reject the kind of politics that's hamfisted, poorly written, and to be purely contemporary. i love games that employ contextual politics to add spice to the, what i don't like are games made by devs who think that using games to push their political agenda is going to change the world.
Your question is basically "why gamers have problem with the crazy frog songs being forced into the video games when games often had music in the past?"
>I'm not connected to the hive mind
That sounds like something a hive mind would say.
You know exactly why. Games having a political theme is fun. When people say games are now political, they aren't describing the themes of the game. They are expressing their displeasure that a game is now a political tool. The game is no longer about politics, the game is politics and often at the expense of being a game.
poltics in games used to just be about presenting ideas for you to think about and were generally tied into the narrative of the game somehow, now they try to tell you what you should think and they are just hamfisted in there to show how progressive the game is
Yes, but there's quality of politics, and yours are absolute brainlet collectivist garbage.
When Hideo Fucking Kojima can do better politics than you, it's time to rethink your whole shit, because politics of literally black and white are insanely stupid.
Compare New Vegas to Dmc: Devil May Cry
No there isn't, the only reason people try to differentiate with weasel words like that is because one challenges their personal politics and the other doesn't.
>hurrdurr errythin es political!
This is one of those opinions that I see pop up from time to time that makes me cringe hard enough to break my back.
Get the fuck over your useless as fuck political science degree you fucking mongoloid.
Politics in videogames used to be more subtle, or if it was heavy handed, it fit the game better and complimented its themes - the gameplay took priority (see: Beyond Good and Evil)
>the game is politics and often at the expense of being a game.
Having a female main character or minority characters isn't 'political' unless you for some reason think that's a big deal
You're fucking crazy. Come here so I can shove these "Not crazy" wires into your brain.
Politics are fine in games unless you make fun of Dernald Blumpf, then that's when you cross the line
not necessarily, sometimes a rock is just a rock and a BFG is just a Big Fucking Gun instead of commentary on the dangers of the military industrial complex
Shoehorning politics into anything became profitable with minimal effort (I have the acceptable political opinion so buy my product) so now everyone is trying to make their cut before people get sick of it
>(see: Beyond Good and Evil)
That game would be ripped to shreds here if it released today. A mixed woman main character and your latino PDA?
Been years we don't have a female main character coming from the west.
They're all literal featureless mary sues with the one purpose of "yes go gurl!".
It's a virtual hover hand.
>Reminder that back then there was a hippie movement
>people actually cared about the environment and got mad at corporations for actual problems
>Now, people are too worried about gender and racial politics to give a crap about the environment
>reminder that the hippies have all gone extinct
I miss them, I miss them so much...
exploring philosophical themes and interesting settings isn't the same as shoving as many gays, women and people of color into your game
That game would have Jade ripped to shreds, because she wouldn't be able to have any sort of weakness or woman like behavior.
It's just identity politics.
This doesn't at all sound like an overly generalized convenient blanket dismissal.
Politics in video games didn't change. You changed.
>Trans rights
Only people deserve rights.
The "being pushed" part is about how it's presented, sometimes not even by the people involved in making the game. In a vacuum, there's nothing wrong with a badass feMC blowing up bad guys to protect what is precious to her. The issue is that if you, the advertisers you hire, games journalists or a sufficiently large group of dickheads on twitter start talking about how it's about a STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER AND YOU MISOGYNISTS NEED TO DEAL WITH IT, then it becomes a problem. There's also other parts of context that can matter. A good example of something that rubbed people the wrong way was Watch_dogs 2, where they had a perfectly servicable protagonist replaced with a group of diverse hipsters.

There's no way you wrote that unironically, right?
Gamers are dumb paranoids who'd justify their beliefs because "they saw it on a videogame and it felt like it was attacking them"
See example:Wolfenstein
>everything is political
So when you jerk off that’s political? What about when you wipe your ass after a good shit? What does the color and consistency of your fecal matter have to say about politics?
There's no need to be upset
It's the scope of the political commentary. When its thinking about broad concepts that can be applied to many instances in history, it's usually alright. When it's scope doesn't fit outside of the last 2 political cycles, it's going to look pretty stupid after a while. Think of it like this. Nobody is going to watch Lil Bush in this day and age. There's no reason to. It's irrelevant now. It's even worse when the politics are clearly set in stone around this time period and developed under false or purely subjective pretenses.
When people complain about politics in gaming they're not complaining about games that have politics, but games that force their politics on the gamers in an insulting attempt to teach them what they personally believe to be right and wrong. A proper implementation of politics in games is to present a political situation and allow the player to decide how they want to continue, to allow the (literal, it's fantasy) orcish hordes to move into your town and create your diverse paradise or to expel them forever for their barbaric ways.
Not only that, but your propaganda is boring and insulting, trying to teach people "lessons" like, rape bad, or don't judge people by the color of their skin. Everyone's already heard it, repeating it to even preteens is insulting, much less adults, but if anyone says anything negative about your shitty quest design they must be some ist or phobe, because you're perfect and no good person could possibly have a problem with your wonderfully progressive propaganda game unless they're a Nazi.
TLDR, when people say they're tired of politics in their games, they're saying they're tired of propaganda in their game. They're not being technically correct, but it's part of intelligent communication to read between the lines and figure that out anyways, and so I wonder, are you dumb or are you being purposefully ignorant to make a strawman to trick other dumb people?
Why does a certain subset of Yea Forums make up these imaginary fantasy oppression scenarios just to have a way to bite back at a certain other subset of the political spectrum with criticisms that don't even exist?
Thread should have ended right there
Tell that to the games "journalists" who keep making it a big deal.
>a BFG is just a Big Fucking Gun instead of commentary on the dangers of the military industrial complex
No, you aren't thinking like a political nut. The fact that someone could think a Big Fucking Gun could ever be treated as innocuous is inherently a commentary on the military industrial complex in of itself. Basically, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. This is why you see bullshit like people unironically arguing something like Tetris is a political game.
All of those games a blatant as hell about it. I'm beginning to suspect many of you on this board aren't very bright.

It's now more akin to bad product placement advertised to a demographic that doesn't and shouldn't ever give a shit. Developers tweeting about the political development in their games instead of the gameplay is sickening. It's like dealing with bronies during their peak, they push their shit EVERYWHERE. The only ones proud are them and those willing to tolerate them. What's so appealing about replacing everything with a gay black woman that hates all men? It doesn't feel natural in the slightest, and that's what bothers people so much.
Modern politics are childish and extremely polarizing, and western devs like to use headlines from the 24 hour news cycle that age poorly. Now compare this to the type of political storyline in something like MGS that mixes the history of cold war politics and fictional situations, which is genuinely creative and interesting.
The mentally ill are still people.
This. It’s not the inclusion of political themes that is the problem but how heavy handed the message is. People don’t want to be preached or lectured at when playing a game.
Prove me wrong. Find a good modern game that challenges your politics, that you don't immediately start inventing critiques about. It's like the classic asshole problem: if you say everyone you meet is an asshole, the problem just might be you.
>Developers tweeting about the political development in their games instead of the gameplay is sickening.
Are you playing their fucking Twitter feed? Would you even notice these things if you didn't feverishly follow every word they said so you can get mad at something?
Prove it.
Because gays and trannies are literally a bad thing.
None of you fucking gamers actually want there to be politics out of video games, you just don't want politics that you don't like in your politics. Fucking boomers
You're still a person to me user
This but unironically.
A lot of games that explore fascism tend to do it in ways that are compelling and highlight the positives and negatives as well as what kind of conditions would create a scenario in which fascism would be a desirable form of government. Not a video game but think how humanity would likely go extinct without the strict rule of the ecclesiarchy in WH40K.
Conversely, you can make a compelling setting in which communist systems are desirable as well. In Star Trek, technology advances to a point where humans of the federation have no real need to covet material possession but everyone still does their part working towards common peace.
The problem really only arises when a game picks a premise and reaches a conclusion before the story is even formulated, giving a very lazy representation of the issues and very transparently exists only as a means to circlejerk to whoever shares the politics of the author.
I can't think of many games like that because I am not a faggot that plays shitty games.
Bruh we've had female main characters forever in videogames. Stop the strawman.
well said, inclusion isn't the problem but the use.
>So when you jerk off that’s political?
It is, by jerking off to straight porn you are supporting the heteronormative cissexist patriarchy.
>What about when you wipe your ass after a good shit
Wiping your ass is racist because it is about removing matter of color with a WHITE tissue.
>What does the color and consistency of your fecal matter have to say about politics?
That is tied to the quality of your diet which is strongly linked to socioeconomic status. I don't know how someone could be this blind to the political implications of bowel movements.
>be leftie
>want to shove your id politics in vidya

*they're saying they're tired of liberalism in their game.
No I'm not, you fucking dumbo.
Society is being polarized and, surprise, it's not transitioning well. How would you feel if a game that catered to /pol/tards were made? This is just a shockwave that ripples through western mediums. It would be great if devs could go back to discussing populist topics, but that isn't what combats Trump voters. Whether it be at an antifa protest or in your mothers basement on your Xbox.
I don't even browse twitter nor do I have a twitter account. Sjw drama just spreads like wildfire sometimes. it's not even my argument either , just an observation I've made.
Can you stop making this braindead thread already.
Why are you here if you hate us? No one likes being lectured on what they disagree with.
All "politics in video games" amounts to these days is CONSUME THIS PRODUCT OR YOU ARE AN EVIL NAZI or something along those lines. Having political themes is fine and all but this is not. If your "politics" don't end when I turn off the game, it's shit.
Modern games aren't subtle. And those games with 'political themes' only used government or government policy as a backdrop, while the actual story focus on the characters and their personal relationships, experiences, and dramas. Today's games do the opposite.
Get a DNA test, user. Just because you are autistic, that doesn't mean you're not a human.
>well said, inclusion isn't the problem but the use.
Stop reading people's Twitter feed for a year and just play games and watch how suddenly this 'use' stops being an issue for you
fuck an actual nuanced response. What are you doing here
>Having a female main character or minority characters isn't 'political'
What is it when companies are obviously using female or minority characters as a device to get more people to buy their game due to the current political paradigm? I don't care if its political or not. It's annoying and scummy. It's gross cultural manipulation. It's the same kind of corporate finger fucking that flanderizes underground music to become shitty pop music if you ask me
Why do people that post on Yea Forums have such severe autism that compels them to make the same threads repeatedly for days on end?
The heroin addicted hobo screaming at the bench at the bus stop is a person, that doesn't mean anything he says is of any value nor does it mean I should give him a platform and embrace his lifestyle.

>double-digit numbers of threads REEEEEEing about it on Yea Forums every single day

Man this whole setup sounds familiar, I just can't quite place where I've heard it before...
I can't. I just looked through my 700+ game Steam library and couldn't find a single game with a forced conservative agenda. I'm liberal, and most games that force an agenda I should agree with, but I don't because they don't belong.
>autism the post.
Those games all had different political messages. modern politics in games pushes the same fucking narrative 8/10 times.
>modern politics in games pushes the same fucking narrative 8/10 times.
Which is?
I didn't say we should listen to trannies, just that they were people.
Globohomo good.
They did, because politics in real life changed.
They got extreme, gross and based in identity politics, which is absolutely retarded.
And 20 years from now, we will look back at this time and feel ashamed of how stupid everything got.
Fucking this. All this inclusive bullshit is just corporations trying to make "one theme caters all" system. This corporate-marxist fusion clownworld is more disgusting than either could ever be alone.
Hmmm

>corporate-marxist fusion clownworld
>People actually post this not in jest
It's always the first post based
So you're an ignorant nigger.
This is actually true. Humans can't consider more than a certain number of people as "actual people", the rest just end up as the social equivalent of 2D cutouts in your mind.
I honestly believe what makes a person is sapiance. If we found another intelligent species on earth or in space, I think they are entitled to the same basic rights as human regardless of their genetic system. Likewise, a braindead human is no longer a person despite their human body, for the loss of consciousness is the loss of personhood.

What a thread lxdies and gentlemxn
Because video games are cool and there are sane people mixed in with the madmen. The point of any piece of art is to convince you of ideas you hadn't considered or don't agree with, you cannot consume a piece media without having idealogies and politics pushed onto you. Games and arts are only less subtle nowadays because fucking idiot gamers can't properly understand subtle things.
Do you really think companies do things out of the goodness of their hearts? All this pushing of social justice and identity is to make consumerism itself an identity.
Keep posting busty girl problems please.

>"WHITE PEOPLE ARE TRASH!"

>"MEN BAD!"

So you wanna point me to all the games that do that, or do you for some retarded reason consider people's Twitter feed a part of the game?
Jesus, Borderlands The Pre-Sequel did irrepairable damage to this board.
So what part of their humanity is enhanced by cheap virtue signaling on their behalf in video games? Why did a Hat in Time and Celeste use trans pride flags when neither game is about any form of sexual expression?
If we're tossing loonies into everything where is the junkie pride? Where is the pride flag for the mentality retarded? How about representation for someone locked in a room that smears shit all over the walls?
Humanity isn't gorgeous, the discussion of human rights has been warped by people putting trash on a pedestal to virtue signal.
Because those political themes aren't the same as today's idpol bullshit that people are complaining about and you know it. Don't be willfully obtuse now.
in some capacity I actually do care about the type of people that make the games. They are the ingredients to the product, and there can potentially be a group or a single person that spoils everything. When I'm viewing a trailer or an interview with the devs discussing their game it gives good insight into what they want the game to be. A good example is Bungie while managing the old halo trilogy would tirelessly prioritize making things fun instead of graphically impressive where as 343 went vice versa as they took the helm and saw the game's future in a pretentious light that nobody but the new devs wanted.
If I thought making a video game would combat my political "enemies", I hope someone who knows me would slap me back to my senses. I could count on one hand the number of people I know who have changed their views because of a fucking video game, because that number is zero.
Nothing in vidya will ever change my mind political mind because I know my view of the world is correct yet the world will always be the same. All you dumb cracka ass nigger fags keep buying the same garbage games. All you have to do is not buy the trash games. Yet you still do.

>The point of any piece of art is to convince you of ideas you hadn't considered
The problem is when it’s blatant propaganda it can create reactionaries out of moderates. Bash someone over the head with the ham-fisted message and some people decide to take the opposite stance out of spite.
Borderlands appeals to the worst kind of people.
>in some capacity I actually do care about the type of people that make the games.

There aren't really any games like this, but most of the people behind these games are responsible for protesting Japanese games with sexual content.
i can't wait to for the next few years, they're all going to be out of jobs
There's a huge, obvious difference between exploring political themes, and using video games as a form of psychological conditioning to indoctrinate the audience into having the "correct" beliefs according to psychotic anti-white liberals.
that happens so often now that even games with zero politics in them get targeted, like Control
I seem to remember them being pretty noticeable
It honestly sucks that their are no good games these days about environment protection. Of course, that's not as cool as hating on straight white men.
When you consider how connected we all are, yes the twitter does count and once you know they feel that way you can see it in their decisions.

They feel that way because they want to feel that way, that's a problem with the individual, not the art. You can reasonably approach something and dissect interesting ideas and truths from things, even if the central ideas were complete nonsense. Thats what art is
The duality of (Wo)Man
Yeah political intrigues happen in video games. But politics in game world and politics in real life must be separated.
>you just don't want politics that you don't like in your politics
NIgger what?
You're ignoring how his post was about subtle agreed upon things rather than blunt divisive things.
>it was majority opinion here years ago that 'SJWs' were morons for shitting on games based entirely on their creators
They still do this and they are still morons.
I don't do this. It's just simple catharsis finding out reasons to why a game or series you like might have gone downhill.
It's not about changing any views, hence what I mean by polarization. People already have chosen sides, they just want to use whatever they can to get their voices heard, whether it be at a college riot, BLM/Antifa riots, movies books, or video games. They wanna beat the fuck out of that evil nazi through voice or fists, whatever they can use.
Imagine being such a stupid fucking /pol/ head that what you get out of LISA is "men bad"
>yes the twitter does count
Why? I don't have to interact with it in any manner on my way to play a game. I'm pretty sure I've only ever paid attention to one dev's Twitter account, out of hundreds of modern games I own.
You are reading way too much into what I said, user. If I say "Squares are rectangles" that doesn't mean I support putting jews in rectangular prison camps.
That you think art has a purpose to convince is the problem. Art is expression. It should be like a conversation in a coffee shop. You can talk about anything, the episode you saw last night, the quality of the roads, the proposed shutdown. Regardless of the topic, your bias, beliefs, and desires bleed into the conversation, you can truly know your partner.
Yeah the way Deus Ex and Watch Dogs 2 explore politics is exactly the same bro nothing has changed.

Is this political?
No dipshit but the enthusiasts (that's us by the way) do. We read game news, we know what's up. It's difficult to just turn a blind eye to it. You're gonna tell me you browse Yea Forums and don't know about this bullshit "woke" movement? Get fucking real.

so this coomer meme really is just the latest lefty forced meme, go join the 40%
this is the only decent picture i've found that seems to show multiple barbies along the years
the clothes might be hiding them but i don't think they're that big desu
The board is fine if not boring when it's not being attacked.
>11 and busty
Just like my animes.
Because they were actually interesting and multi-faceted takes on politics and not "lol gays are good and big pharma is bad". Hardcore politics in video games went from redpilling people on government conspiracies to the most basic bitch entry-tier opinions you can find in any Youtube comment section.
You know, I used to be completely for inclusivity and diversity in gaming. On paper it's completely harmless. What's wrong with having more people partaking in your favorite hobby?
The problem stems from the people pushing this. The sad truth is that modern leftists can't make compelling art. It's almost impossible for them to tell a good story that doesn't boil down to "ORANGE MAN BAD" or some variant of it. People don't dislike leftists because they're super secret racists that hate women and minorities; people hate leftists because they're cultural parasites that infiltrate all forms of entertainment and media and absolute tear it asunder until it's completely unrecognizable. It's amazing that these people are so passionately pro-communist yet they take a stand against the consumer at almost every turn.
Man I really should go back to /fit/, it was always more fun than here. I wonder how much has changed in 3 years.
Look man I’m trying my best but I might need to up the ante
>'Thanks for the genes mom!'
>Needs to get breast reduction surgery at 17 for the back pain
Don't get it twisted, orange mad is definitely bad but it doesn't make for compelling art. You're right.
>tfw no busty 11 year old gf.
We really mean *identity* politics. We don't want identity politics in games.
Kitty in da titty
I want politicucks to die
No, seriously, what is it with Resetera and their tactic of burying their heads in the sand and pretending the problem isn't there? That's literally your default tactic every single fucking time.
No they don’t you dummy
No, like most of Japan's shit. It is apolitical and still stuck in the past. Which is why such games are popular with alt-right types who wants their morals to be simple and easy to solve.
>It's difficult to just turn a blind eye to it.
Shit, I can't even keep up with all the gaming nontroversy news and still have time to play video games. You can literally just not interact with it. I think Notch is a retard but I still play Minecraft from time to time.
Can they not do that with small tits as well?
This guy knew what he was doing
Control getting smeared with a completely undeserved reputation as a strang induhpendant womyn game pissed me right off
Bad enough that it's on EGS, but there is ZERO of that crap besides the main character looking ugly sometimes
thanks for my copy, tim
breast reduction surgery allows big titty genes to survive longer
user nobody is getting banned from Borderlands 3 for misgendering the fucking robot. What's with you and going on this weird-ass tangent to avoid acknowledging that you fell for some really blatant shitposting?
Look, man, i don’t make the rules but it’s a busty girl perk. That’s just how it works
Except they literally are.
>leftists leftists leftists
>if I generalize an entire half of the political spectrum into one person, that makes me right
Because you weren't such a fucking fag about it at the time.
>forced conservative agenda
Obviously it doesn't have to be forced when it's already the establishment status quo you idiot. Its necessarily a given. Does that make it "forced agenda"? Idk. Dont pretend like the status quo isnt conservative right wing, pro corporatism and pro no-regulations for said corporatism. We all have to suffer through this fucking anti intellectual cringe fest until the status quo changes to something more reasonable in a progressive way. Fuck outa here and quit crying about small LGBT memes you God damn snowflake. The only "agenda" they have is to be on a level of equal representation with people who tow the line of the establishment, and establishment is kinda built on shitting on LGBT people and minorities, historically.
Maybe if they did a good job at diversifying themselves instead of conforming to the same awful shitty opinions...
Provide a source then user. You made the claim. Note that I talking about banning in-game since you claimed that you can "have your money stolen" by misgendering the robot
Works for the leftists.
Because they were never advertised as such. Nowadays if damn near any piece of media has something in it that strays from the norm every single preview, interview, etc just goes on and on about how great and progressive it is for breaking barriers and such.
It's like.. Okay, I get it, this game has black transexual lesbian as a lead, that's fine, I heard you the first time, please stop shoving it down my throat, is the game itself actually any good?
I think people just don't give a shit about someone and how they feel about their identity and find stuff like philosophy infinitely more interesting and important
Because politics in games is completely fine, except when it goes against the Yea Forums groupthink.
Politics in video games are fine
Using your video game primarily as a tool to spread your real life political views isn't
this is a shit summary. its just whether activism or not. feminism and lgbt isnt really politics. its activism, a social movement.
No, seriously, this tactic of trying to paint the right as "triggered" is so fucking hilarious. The left REALLY can't meme, can they?
>He's too pussy to actually quote and call out any replies supposedly doing this
Guys, guys. There’s no need to be mad. Just look at the problems these poor endowed women have to face
i guess no one's netural on a moving train then, i ain't going to be on board when that train flies off a cliff
Every thread on Yea Forums is proof they are. Do you think we get endless REEEEEE SJWS REEEEEE threads because the right isn't the most easily offended pack of genetic dead ends on the internet?
>dailydot.com
>Gearbox Software, announced that it will ban anyone from its forums
>from its forums
Great job making yourself look stupid
No, I'm just talking about in general. That's the general theme when it comes to resetera and their astroturfing tactics.
Politics are fine and often what drives some of our favorite shows, books, and movies (house of cards, game of thrones). It’s when politics are at every turn and when it’s really petty “issues” that don’t matter on the grander scale. Take game of thrones as an example, people adored it when the politics drove the plot and impacted our favorite characters, then it started forcing the feminist movement further by making every girl in the show some ridiculous caricature of what they once were. The cherry on top was Bran becoming king as some anti ablist propaganda.
Buddy didn't go on a killing spree because men were bad.
They're both separate spectrums of political movements. Neither one can be summarized by a single category of people, respectively. Only smoothbrain conservatives lump everybody with remotely left-of-conservative views altogether as ""bunch of leftists""
Me Chungo require more
Give Chungo MORE
How about you just shut the fuck up and keep posting.
Nah see early games still had current event politics like postal taking the piss about angry women whining about violent video games causing violence. Whats getting old is having the same tired fucking conversation about video games and their affects on young minds when we already know it has the same sway as any form of media and art.
And maybe parents should take some god damn responsibility for their shit parenting.
I can't tell if you're being deliberately stupid or if you're just unfortunately sheltered, so I'll assume good faith once. Try talking to people outside Yea Forums about politics sometime, there are people who hold all sorts of opinions, and allowing ourselves to turn "the other side" into a one-dimensional caricature is exactly why we have this tribalism problem we have now, and it's exactly what the fatcats want, because the more we fight each other, the less attention we pay to tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and bullshit like that which hurts most people no matter which side they're on.
See there's nothing actually wrong with what you said, except in addition to all that the media and academics beat us all over the head with progressive/liberal idpol bullshit while being funded by the economically right-wing corporations.
>implying boob veins are bad
Don’t you curse at me
So why would they just ban people from the forum and not the game, user?
You get endless threads about SJWs on Yea Forums because they're causing irreparable damage to the gaming industry, you absolute fucking leech.
AWOOGA
There's a difference between fictional politics that make sense within the game's world and the garbage american identity politics that have no place in the narrative and are tacked on for leftie points.
Being intellectually honest is all anybody can ask for. 70% of the population either doesn't care or feels so insecure (based on propaganda, rhetoric and memes they get exposed to in online echo chambers and through legacy corporate media) that they go out of their way to BE anti-intellectual. Reactionarie contrarians have always been cancer and always will be. The world would be a better place if they'd all kill themselves.
Why is this ALWAYS the default tactic of Resetera? Genuinely, you people can't fucking meme.
>Go talk to people outside
>Lol you're so triggered
>You always complain about SJWs
>It's just anime titties
>Grow up, incel
>Have sex
You people really do fucking suck
you can only say that about the 90's because you were a child. you don't remember the LA riots, after the beating of Rodney King was televised. or how the Black community cheered the acquittal of OJ Simpson (oops!) because "one of us" was getting over on The Man. You don't remember Newt Gengrich and his Contract With America, trying to get Bill Clinton impeached for getting a blow job.
the 90's were political as fuck. Video games weren't political, because video games were just barely out of their infancy, and were barely even capable of saying anything.
except for when they did. Final Fantasy 6 had a message of loving yourself, no matter how weird or broken you are. Also about how the family you find can be just as important as the family you are born into. if that isn't a Pinko Liberal message, I don't know what is. FF7 was blatantly environmentalist. FFTactics went hard on Organized Religion=Evil. I am pretty sure there were others, but I was a JRPG nerd, back in the day...
Every thread on Reset Era is proof they are. Do you think we get endless REEEEEE NAZIS REEEEEE threads because the left isn’t the most easily offended pack of genetic dead ends in the internet?
>So why would they just ban people from the forum and not the game, user?
So what you're telling me here is that you don't actually have a source for people "having their money stolen" for misgendering the robot. I think that's enough for tonight
Its the same reason why discord trannies think Yea Forums turned right wing. We didn't change at all, but the world did.
>neutral
The train has been tipping to the left for the past decade yet people are content with the "balance" being on one side. Teetering on the edge of oblivion. Its a clown world because the amount of "balance" in politics makes it look like a circus act.
I mean, this one is fucking real. Boob slap from a compound is no fucking joke. Fuck I miss archery club.
>We didn't change at all
As someone here since at least '07 that's fucking horseshit, this place has changed plenty
>Bro just get off the biggest social media networks and never discuss your hobbies.
>Heh, I got him to admit that Gearbox has an extremely delusional madman running the company and is responsible for banning anyone criticizing him on the forum BUT HE HASN'T BANNED ANYONE FROM THE GAME YET
>Got 'em!
Yes Chungo is pleased with your offerings
Chungo now enter hibernation
i dont really understand what youre saying, but supporting a real social movement in a game and a depiction of politics in a game are different things. you can depict a lgbt movement and feminism "as" a fiction. like for instance, using different fictional pride flags in a game.
this is how japanese treat/objectify real politics in games and deliver it to people. except for geopolitics like mgs.
>Not doing anything is political too because you're going with the flow and allowing the status quo to continue.
Kill yourself
Are you actually advocating fucking normalfag shit like Twitter? Goddamn this place has been dead for so long
It's one thing if your game is also about politics or something political in nature. It's another when it's simply reflecting your limited view of current real life events. The problem is the quality of politics we get from modern devs.
I came in a few years after but from screencaps, old Yea Forums just looked like reddit with CP
Bad news, if you want to keep up with the world you kind of have to be on this shit.
I concur. Been here since 2011. Yea Forums has always been shit, but it’s a different kind of shit now. Half these threads used to be more Yea Forums territory but since phoneshitters and newfags just use Yea Forums for porn dumps the sewage and off-topic shit settles in Yea Forums. The 2016 elections and GG didn’t help either.
post the edit
>lefties managed to fire the freetard god
>Thing hasn't actually happened that user claims is happening
>'But it's totally gonna happen so you should act like it didn't
Wew.
>said literally none of those things
That's what I get for assuming good faith, I guess. Shit, you don't even have to go outside if you don't want to. Just talk to someone not on Yea Forums.
No chungo come back
sleep tight, Chungo
So how long until people have had enough and they take up arms against these scrawny-necked faggots?
I don't get how the response to "I don't like this part of the game" is "shut up and play it"
You act like this is a new phenomenon that only people who support progressivism ever participate in. Bruh. Conservatives invented what it means to be a snowflake. They invented feelings-over-facts assertaions/arguments
>muh superstitious religion
>HERESY AND BLASPHEMY LAWS NOW
>BAN FREE SPEECH WHEN IT OFFENDS MUH FAITH
>hurr durr anybody who disagrees with me is a sinner
I dont even want to think about how many christian fundamentalists there are in higher tier positions of power in USA. It's absolutely disgusting. Bunch of fucking anti intellectual retards pushing their stupid ass, corrupt agenda every chance they can get.
Because rather than the political situation being organic, interesting and presenting multiple angles, politics in games now often involves injecting artificial subjects such as transexuals, one dimensional characters who happen to be gay or female and pro-immigration, diversity concepts.
There is nothing wrong with politics in video games, the issue is the injection of agenda from the left.
Really activates my almonds
dilate
those are redpilled, women and trannies are not
As always, kemono poster is right.
But it HAS happened. Gearbox made it very clear that they/them pronouns are a big deal and they'll throw a shitfit. You're the one that's fixated on actually being banned from the game.
>"I don't like this part of the game"
Because I sincerely doubt any of the parts of the game they don't like are actually parts of the game. It's all about hating the game because of things outside of the game
But muh Deus Ex and augmentations.
I might switch to my stockpile of Sonic OCs after this
Maybe people are just tired of their race/sexuality-baiting 50 year old hippy shit.
And they reduced it down to “politics in gaming” because saying “Neo-Marxist, post-modern representations of intersectional marginalized groups being pushed solely on their basis of their identity” doesn’t quite role off the tongue.
So is this an actual Resetera invasion or is it just Yea Forums trolling? I refuse to believe that you faggots unironically support political correctness.
a game talking about war and environmentalism can be embraced by anyone.
A game that perpetuates the lie that there is no such thing as biological gender or other hot topics is divisive because the current political climate is very racial.
Just forget about these things and play the games, the top selling and most playable games don't have any of these problems. RE2, MHW, God of War aren't annoyingly political at all.
>You're the one that's fixated on actually being banned from the game.
Let me put up a quote for you user, can you guess who wrote it?
>You can literally have your money stolen for misgendering the stupid robot, you fucking idiot.
I still like politics in games. I just don't play games whose politics are childish far left delusions, historical revision, and tranny rights. Good politics in games make use of these crazy story telling devices called allegories and metaphors.
You seem to be confused. No one says shit didn't happen in the 90s. The topics weren't infused into every aspect of your life back then. People were forced to learn (usually incorrect) information about every little thing. That's the point here. Having it constantly shoved down your throat from the media, social media, even ads on TV, leaves to an over-encumberance of political bullshit dwelling at the back of your mind. You can't disassociate it with a game's story becomes it's so easy brought to the front since you just heard about it 5 minutes ago.
Well said
what's with lefties and trying to shove idpol in every corner thy can anyways?
Mommy
Post the tails comic. Save us by crashing this thread with no survivors.

>ME PROGRESSIVE AND SMART idpol shit
So I just want to make this clear here:
Gearbox admits that they're going to ban anyone from their forums from commenting if they misgender the robot...but you somehow think they just wont ban people from the game? I just want you to admit this, please.
Games back then
>find the magic sword, fight the evil wizard and save the princess!
Games now
>dude marxism is good for gamers! fuck nazis and white people! drumph reference! trans rights! minority power!
People look at the current state of things and don't realize that we've been through more than just one shift, even. We were never feared and respected
Reset Era and discord tranny shitters.
There’s no need for that.
Nuclear war is bad
Totalitarianism is bad
America will destroy itself from within if nationalism is allowed to run rampant
Have they banned anyone from the game for it? I just want you to admit this, please.
>that line between thigh and tummy
Accepting and loving yourself isn't liberal at all. Liberal is denying yourself, mutalating yourself, and telling everyone you're something that you're not.
You know this is a strawman post when they include "women" like it's ever been an issue, gays is an issue because no one likes fags but they always have to hide under something else. Hence they include women to try and and buffer their bullshit.
I only started giving a damn about this stuff when it started infecting my multiplayer shooters like BFV. Call me shit taste or pleb all you want, I just want to play army man for an hour. I cant have the same enjoyment when some white bitch is running around screeching "ELLO GOVNA" . It also doesn't help that the resources put towards the elements I hate me less resources for the elements I love.
>Maybe allowing societies with fundamentally immoral belief systems into our country will spark a civil war and cause irreparable damage to our culture?
>No, it's the people who are proud of their culture that are the problem!
People have been shitting on incels for a while, pay attention.
Nukes bad plz no nuke
>but you somehow think they just wont ban people from the game? I just want you to admit this, please.
Yes. Feel free to make a thread laughing at me if this actually happens. Gearbox won't give a flying fuck about people misgendering the robot in their private sessions of their video game because I highly fucking doubt the moron in charge of the forums has control over in-game bans. The people in charge of the forums for video game companies are the bitches of the company
Either answer my question or fuck right off
You're acting like I ever implied I'm arguing for those things.
>separate
From right-wing politics? Its all left-wing/liberal crap. Get over it. Feminism has so very little right-wing aspects to begin with, and those aspects are constantly thrown under the bus by left-wing nutjobs to prop up their vicious insatiable degeneracy.
post the puppet one
I feel like after 2015 the world began to slowly become more obsessed with politics in many forms only for the 2016 elections to make the subject even more common with no point of return making itself an ugly mess for the entire political spectrum and overall making the world itself feel alot different, i can't be the only one with this feel.
>People getting hammered down for having different views or even supporting someone
>Businesses being boycotted for donating to someone
>Games (mainly Triple-A american ones) shoehorning so much social commentary
>Spreading Misinformation (Such as certain journalists making false tweets while linking to an article only to make a follow up tweet making a correction and calling it a "mistake" since they got 10-30k likes and people don't read past the headline anyway)
>Shitting on anything that's the standard
I want to go back.
>"I don't like this part of the game"
What part of the game is Twitter? I haven't had any games require me to read the dev's Twitter account to continue playing yet.
Crowdpleaser
I've been here since around 2005, but not on any one specific board. I started on Yea Forums and /pol/ (I was linked from Fark.com), then branched out to /an/ and others as the years passed. Right now, I frequent /gif/, /wsg/, Yea Forums, and /news/.
The main change I see is the over-all quality of posts have gone down. Alot. I don't know if the average age has gone down or if I'm just getting old - maybe both. My 4chanx general filters page is like 800 lines long.
But, anyway, I really don't think political spectrums on boards have changed that much. People are just louder about it now.
Cool, so you're an idiot. We're done here.
>a few years after
this is why you think that.
t. 06'er
>the issue is the injection of agenda from the left
So you're outright admitting that what you have a problem with isn't politics in games, it's leftist politics.
I still love how this pic contains Mass Effect, which happens to be a perfect example of what this strawman image tries to "debunk".
Mass Effect 1:
>here is this consistent universe with its own contained political struggles that make sense in the story's context
Mass Effect Andromeda:
>HELLO I'M TRANS and countless other bullshit things that contradict established lore because fuck that universe we need gender neutral pronouns for the female-only race
You're still arguing that something that hasn't happened is definitely going to happen and we should treat it as such (even though it hasn't happened)
>Liberal is denying yourself, mutalating yourself, and telling everyone you're something that you're not.
>denying yourself
You mean like saying "hurr durr gender can only be what your sex is"?
>mutilating yourself
You mean like forcing babies to be corcumsized?
>telling everyone you're something you're not
Like the endless stream of (debunked) "facts and logic over feelings" arguments when in fact you're a contrarian reactionary who asserts opinions as ""facts and logic"" in the first place? But sweetie that's conservatism. Not liberalism.
Someone tell me what’s goin on here
mobilefags ruined Yea Forums.
People post these expecting cringe, i unironically think they're kinda cool
because everyone who has a problem with it now played them back then when they were kids and didn't pick up on the politics
Would you want every game to be about Christianity. Yes games are political, but the politics on games usually isn't about games, obvious, or consistent. The current politics in games is an attack against games as a media and a persistent one.
Jesus christ 5 star reply, I wonder if any are self aware enough to take the advice.
Because politics back then wasn't "fuck men and fuck white people
>You are going to breathe sometime today.
>Y-YEAH BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW!? CHECK MATE, ATHEIST!
When is nationalism ever painted as inherently destructive in fallout? With the NCR it leads to negligence over actual malice, and old world america was a faux-nationalism created to hide the authoritarian government and to assuage the public from nuclear annihilation.
So it's only bad when the left does it?
>right wingers categorize them together a lot
>therefore they are the same
What kind of stupid ass working backwards from the conclusion bullshit ass shit is this?
That's exactly right, yes
What about examples such as Battlefield 1 or Rome II? In the first case, beside the Soviet front which other Nations deployed women on war? and I'm not talking about para medics and sisters in hospitals volunteering
Why all of sudden they choose to pander more to a female audience? Of course the response is money but it's too convinient choosing such move in a period of time when more LGBT and "feminist" movement are heard out loud.
Why not giving a toggle option in Rome? Being a developer should let you do such an option without much sweat but instead the whole thing was just thrown for polemic reasons and whole twitter outcry made it even clearler since pointing it out would make you just look bad
I like her bloomers
Andromeda is not Mass Effect and never will be.
front wheels go on feet, back wheels make big yoyo
i dont know where the seat/frame goes but cool nonetheless
"I don't like politics in games" translates to "I don't like what politics are in this game"
As usual, Yea Forums is majorly composed of retards.
You think THIS is cool?
I didn't know allegories and metaphors were right-wing things
Thanks for demonstrating that your "argument" rests entirely on the basis of your subjective feelings.
Do you actually believe this or are you just 'avin a giggle m8? I refuse to believe that an intelligent person could completely fail to see nuance simply because it's "the other side".
>board posters making these threads get banned
>falseflagging discord trannies get a pass
really makes you think
"I don't like games being political" means "I don't like games being political tools" not "I don't like political themes in games" .
YES i do faggot, it's a little cool.
>I refuse to believe that an intelligent person could completely fail to see nuance simply because it's "the other side".
>if it's an intelligent person
Well there you go.
Exactly, it's odd leftists? Or whoever is pushing this crap get so surprised when the message of "Men bad, White bad" isn't recieved well.
I didn't realize that the allegory of the cave was hard core right wing.
Even this?
You should keep posting the big titty things. These sonic ocs are cringey but not enough to be funny or interesting
And then you try to live your life without paying too much attention to this shit (because it's not like the average person already has enough on their plate, right?) and you get hit with EPIC MEMES like this.
>wahh games I wouldn't try to play anyway are doing things I dont like!
>time to start a virtue signaling moral crusade against the very idea!
You sound like such a massive faggot
These are cool in kind of retarded way. Could totally see them being weapons in some over the top action game.
2015 is the year zoomers became old enough to be politically conscious, suddenly those people began seeing politics and agendas everywhere as if it never existed before. this egotistical revelation coupled with the proliferation of rhetorican faggots on youtube and twitter lead to what we have now, politically obsessed youths who can't do anything except be outraged
The difference is that now the consumption of games has been politicized as well. Before a game is out you can be sure a thousand articles will have been written about how it’s challenging X and those who don’t like it are evil Y. The battle lines are drawn before the games even out.
Now tell me, has anyone ever been called a climate change denier for not liking Final Fantasy VII?
I have a problem with any extreme propaganda from either side. If we get a string of games advocating fascist or far-right totalitarian ideals I would also be concerned. When is the last time we got a game where you could play as the Germans? Probably CoH: Tales of Valor and that's over a decade old. The current issue is leftism in games, I'm not going to concern myself with rightism in games until it shows up.
>"Oh boy, I can't wait to hear about contemporary burger politics!"
Said noone ever.
I just don't want faggot shit in my games ok?
Damn, well said. Big true
Awww damn it
Alright bud
I got some Junji Ito as well
Your post is basically saying "WAAAAH THERE'S THINGS I DON'T LIKE"
People don't like things they don't like. Very good, user. You're such an intellectual powerhouse.
>be you
>a faggot
>put yourself in every game you play
>"but I dont want faggots in my games"
Then stop playing video games you fucking faggot.
>sweetie
Great shitpost. This really put it over the top.
Explain to me exactly and in detail what issue you take with what I said? Explain to me exactly how the idea of accepting yourself is as liberal as you said, when one of the big hot topics for liberal politics now is that people are born in the incorrect bodies and should change it.
>Local underage retard has first cognitive thought and believes it unique and worthwhile despite ten billion others having the same thought before him.
Your hobby has been taken over by liberal feminist bigots who not only want nothing more than to destroy it, but they've brainwashed you into defending them while they do it. You are a conquered failure and soon, the hobby won't be for you either because any males playing the game at all will be 'problematic.'
>Everything is political whether you like it or not
There's a difference between our own personal politics influencing our actions even to a minor degree and spray painting "ORANJ MAN BAD" on a wall with liquid shit you fucking nigger.
Get over your political science degree and go outside.
>2011
You're part of what ruined the board. Your generation was far worse than the electionfags.
Not everybody starts a contrarian, virtue signaling campaign in response to what they dont like though. In the context of fucking video games it's just pathetic and annoying to get upset over what some specific developers want to do with their product. Get over yourself
>You mean like saying "hurr durr gender can only be what your sex is"?
Gender is what you're born as. Gender role is what you pretend to be. Since humans cannot swap their sex, gender and sex are interchangeable words, but gender is more politically correct. Also degenerate acts of pleasure (anal, oral, etc) are not sex or intercourse.
>circumcision
A liberal Jewish/Muslim practice (also pushed onto Catholics/Evangelicals by Jews to make it easier to integrate Jewish culture and subvert Christianity)
>neo-conservative talking points
Liberals pretending to be conservative. Learn what the overton window is.
Umm, sweetie, maybe you should just go outside, incel. Maybe trans people just want to play video games in peace without /pol/ incels Paul Joseph Watsoning up the conversation with their Richard Spencer Sarkeesian SJWs Anita? Destiny DESTROYS Vaush with DESTINY and LOGIC! Liberals need to uncuck the African genocide of gamers rising up or else Zoe Quinn will Avengers Endgame the Thought Slime of Akkad.
But what about The Quartering?
>one of the big hot topics for liberal politics now is that people are born in the incorrect bodies and should change it
No, that's a big hot topic for a small group of extremists. It's as much a representation of an entire half of the political spectrum as neo-Nazis are a representation of the other half. Reductio ad absurdum doesn't help anyone except the problem children.
You don't know nor care what constitutes right-wing.
>Why do gamers have a problem with "politics in video games" now when games often had political themes in the past?
Because radical leftists think that every piece of art has to be propaganda for their cause and that people aren't allowed to disagree with them. Hence cancel culture.
You and I both know this has gone way beyond "devs just doing what they want". Almost every single major AAA Western studio has been infiltrated by these fucking people by exploiting diversity quotas. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING dev has been forced to walk the same walk and talk the same talk, and anyone who steps out of line will be slandered.
>I got some Junji Ito as well
Bsed. You make this thread worth having open
>In the context of fucking video games it's just pathetic and annoying to get upset over what some specific developers want to do with their product. Get over yourself
Nigga that's 90% of bitching about "problematic" shit in games by "Leftists". which somehow get's listened to by devs
"politics in video games" is poorly articulated. What people mean is we want your snobby political activism out of video games. It's one thing to abstract a position and make a point in a game. It's another to use an unrelated "platform" to go pushing your pseudo-intellectual drivel in.
No one in a bbq restaurant wants to hear some dumb white liberal retard talk about how unless you stop eating meat, the world is going to be destroyed because of climate change. No one wants to hear your nonsense in a video game either. That's not what they came for. And yes, people can tell when you're pushing an agenda. Everyone else isn't as stupid as you think they are and you're not smarter than them either.
Yes, it's still KINDA cool.
>Gender is what you're born as.
Stopped reading right there because its demonstrably, obviously false. The word you're looking for is "sex". Gender is a social construct and always has been.
>when smoothbrain wants to be big brain but doesn't understand the definition of words they're trying to use
Top kek
Here is ultimate stumper for the "leftist" on Yea Forums, a simple question they can never answer in good faith.
After the start of the year 2017, name one Western AAA game where men aren't portrayed negatively and a white man isn't the villain. Suddenly the "rise in mah white supremacy" actually isn't as mysterious as the MSM leads you to believe you stupid pieces of shit.
Fuck this I’m tired
>The entire foundation of the modern leftist's belief system boils down to outrage culture and a demand for the world to conform to their belief system or face social consequences
>B-But /pol/tards are triggered, right? Anti-SJWs are just as bad as SJWs, guys!
Other than Wolfenstein, which I think we can all agree went full retard, name another game. This problem really isn't the industry-destroying juggernaut you think it is, and the huge number of games coming out even today that don't go anywhere near that shit should be proof, but of course people looking for something to victimized by will conveniently ignore that.
>It's as much a representation of an entire half of the political spectrum as neo-Nazis are a representation of the other half.
Remind me again which Republicans bring up Neo-Nazi ideals during campaigning? That kind of false equivalence isn't going to fool anyone.
Waaaait
Oldie but a goodie
I can also do literally any other one you want, just request it
Why the fuck are you calling this contrarian when in the same sentence you acknowledge that people don't like these elements?

This is exactly right

>gender is a social construct
Gender role. Not gender.
Roles are social constructs (ie gender role).
Super smash bros
Any Monster Hunter game
Any pokemon game
Basically any AAA Nintendo title
Most playstation exclusives
99% of indie games
>b-but those dont count because muh "leftist agenda"!
Please tell me you do anything except engage in cognitive dissonance.
old video games had conservative messages while new ones have liberal messages. its that simple kid
Catholics don't get circumcised
So you're admitting that your complaints about politics in games are actually bullshit and what you actually have a problem with is leftism anywhere.
Because just because you dont like something doesn't mean you have to react to it you fucking child. Learn to DEAL WITH SHIT like an adult instead of some sperg who cant stand watching other people like what they dont like. Jesus christ.
Identity politics is different from any of the other themes tackled before.
Literally none of these are Western games you sack of dumb shit, exactly as I said. Unable to be answered in good faith.
Did you just try saying circumcision isn't a Jewish thing?
look at this dood
Theyre not people either, bitch
Then where the fuck is my foreskin
Sex and gender are not the same thing, user. Gender and gender-roles are also not the same thing. Gender roles are a social construct too, yes. Because gender is a social construct. Literally only sex is tied to biology. Gender is a social construct. Period.
They do in America unless you specifically opt out of it.
Im so proud of OP. Feels like just yesterday he was making this thread and getting 0 replies now he has almost 500 in an hour

Mental disorder.
Lmao name one western developed game that is fucking garbage, politics aside. Ugly women and CoD/lootbox ""gameplay"" doesn't make a game superior to Asian developed ones, just because they were developed in the west. Retard. There are only a handful of good western developed games.
Do you know what irony is?
Anyway, why shouldn't I react? I like videogames my way. I want them to continue in a way I like. Does being an adult for you mean just shut up and eat shit?
What the games in the OP image all have in common is that these are the politics of fictional universes and exist to either world-build, explain characters and their motivations, impact the quests, or impact the plot itself. Shoehorning real-world shit into a fictional world is always painfully forced, and typically have zero impact on any large topics like the world-building, characters, quests, and plot.
No, I'm talking about the tinfoil hat conspiracy part.
>also pushed onto Catholics/Evangelicals by Jews to make it easier to integrate Jewish culture and subvert Christianity
Lmao
It's good to watch leftist falter in these arguments as they always turn to absurdism and never actually answer the questions they are asked. It's also why they'll continue to be ridiculed, so as always.
Dilate.
>Gender is a social construct
That's why in nature there are no roles specific to males or females of a species and they all do whatever they feel like.
I got news for you zoomer friend. This shit has been going on behind the scenes since AT LEAST post WWII. For most people it wasn't apparent because the internet wasn't around, but slowly ever so slowly it's been creeping up on everything as the activists move from one area to another, with academia as a spawning ground for retard schools of thought. NGOs and highly organized activists networks have been shutting down things that go against their agenda and undermining the country for decades. You think things in history like the Vietnam protests were purely organic? Think again. Your awareness is because we can all talk on the internet and share info. People in the past didn't have that luxury, so here were are, after an entire generation has been corrupted a shitty school system and only shown one school of thought.
they had fantasy politics
That's just american hospitals. Circumcision is not intrinsic to Catholic practice.
GLOBO HOMO GOOD, NORMALCY BAD
>Gender is a social construct. Period.
I bet you think it's "arbitrary." As if the realities of sex doesn't inform gender.
I just think you shouldn't push anything political in games because people who play games are pretty fucking stupid and do you really want dumb retards parroting your views when they barely understand it themselves?
>Super smash bros
>Any Monster Hunter game
>Any pokemon game
>Basically any AAA Nintendo title
>Western
user...
That is exactly my point? Did you quote the wrong person?
>politics of fictional universes
Uh bro...
Good thing society focuses more on gender identity than sex then.
>mental illness
Such as denting the fact that gender and sex are 2 completely different things. One being tied to chromosomes and biology and the other being just a subjective expression
>Jews never try to integrate Jewish culture into host countries
Can you explain why a country with a tiny Jewish population relative to its size has a disproportionately high representation of Jewish people in its government and spends so much money supporting Israel?
>The entire foundation of the modern leftist's belief system
Do you actually believe that or are you just playing retarded so that you can dilute your "enemies" down to a single statement that isn't even true for anything except a loud minority? Because we can talk about Arthur Jones like that describes the entire right wing's position if you want.
Fortnite
Care to elaborate on anything else the left has been aggressively fighting this hard?
I mean yeah, actually. It's exactly why animals fuck animals of the same gender/sex. It happens whether you want to acknowledge it or not. It's as natural as nature itself
Are you just incapable of reading or you just read only what you want to? I said its Jewish/Muslim and its pushed onto people to make it easier for Jews/Muslims to integrate. They're trying to do it in the Netherlands right now.
politics i agree with = good
politics i dont agree with = bad
and luckily most games dont pander to alt-rightcels
Why should I explain something that isn't actually demonstrated anywhere outside cherry-picked infographics?
Because simply saying "we don't want this" throws certain people into a frothing rage, those people being literal advocates for said politics, which are only ever their personal politics, as if it's necessary for them to be there.
The way politics in video games are done nowadays comes off as propagandistic, and they don't really add anything to the narrative. The people that want games to be political these days just seem like thinly veiled totalitarians.
today, one side of the political spectrum infiltrated games and are pushing their politics. why? because they believe their enemy side really enjoys games so they must do anything they can to ruin it for them in order for them to lose morale. a lot of them do not buy nor play games. sales reflect this.
remember when the same thing happened with marvel comics and they came out saying that their new "diversity" stance alienated their core audience?
Daily reminder that every single Resetera faggot on this board is no different than Dayton Hypernova; an online tranny that abuses his own parents.
Fpbp
I just hate niggers and faggots in my vidya
I bet you're one of those people who unironically asks why a straight guy or lesbian wouldn't date/marry a Transgender person
If most games don't pander to alt-rightcels then why are you so aggressive in trying to stop the ones that do, user?
>society
Liberalism is mental disorder.
>mental illness
I never said anything about illness. You can be mentally ill and not disordered. vice verse. Willingly or unwillingly.
You however cannot distinguish subjectivity and objectivity. Because you are mentally disordered.
When a small portion of the population has a genetic defect, yes they do that. That doesn't change the fact that the roles of males and females in terms of foraging and child rearing are defined by sex. Your idea that sex and gender are divorced is just wrong.
>game with gays good
>game with straights bad
Luckily people aren't completely as inept as you and can see blatant propaganda.
You have no point actually. Western games are bad because the developers are incompetent, not because of the political landscape. They don't know how to design a good game, not because of political pressure, but because they're fucking imbeciles. Demonstrate otherwise or else you're just a vapid fucking faggot. You are the one insisting "leftist political agenda is the reason why western games suck". Demonstrate that, fag
But user, none of the games in your picture have trannies in them.
>I like my videogames like I like my 1950s television: the women shut up and there aren't any niggers

Have you considered not being such a triggered little snowflake pussy?
>that isn't actually demonstrated anywhere
How is the percentage of the population that's Jewish versus the percent of congressmen and senators that are Jewish a cherry picked and not real statistic.
Actually it is because of the political landscape. Do you think Bioware would have released Andromeda in the state it was in if they didn't have the "gamers are entitled/sexist" thing to fall back on?

because politics now means virtue signaling, finger pointing and grand standing

You're kind of assuming that the people opposed to politics in gaming liked any of those past games
What what does that have to do with gay people, black people, or myself who is a cis white male?

Who are you quoting?
He's right, it's a yellow man who's the villain here.

Politics are part of the incompetence. If you value incompetent politics you are likely an incompetent person. Even if said person claims to be separate/avoid politics, that is product of the politics enabling them to do so.
Reap what you sow.

Israel is tactically advantageous and religious christians believe that if the jews are in control of israel jesus will come back.
Quite literally, pot meet kettle.
Mass effect stopped being good after 2. 3 was an objectively shit designed game by comparison and not at all because of some imaginary political agenda. It just went further downhill after 2 because they stopped going with what works and cut back on what you can do in game, for the sake of quality of life changes and more cut cutscenes/cinematics. Western developers are shit because they want to make a movie with QTE events, not actual gameplay anymore. And then all you wanna do is cherry pick a fucking gay character or something and sperg about how gamers need to rise up against some spoopy ""leftist"" political agenda. God damn
The goal of the left is to make their awful fucking positions as palatable as possible
Now that most people are rightfully rejecting their retarded bullshit, their only tactic is to steal memes from right-wingers and turn it against them
But it's literally not working because the left just can't fucking meme
Can someone redpill me on Gamer Gate? Is it just sexist gamers?
I didn't know Tomb Raider was "political".
Is Bayonetta 2 also political?
How about Starhawk? FF7? No?
Go fuck yourself.

Exactly what advantages have we gained so far?
It was a movement that was completely in the right and then got astroturfed to hell and back.
Here comes the shitty bait tactics because leftists can't handle losing in any capacity, whilst ignoring obvious propaganda and being willfully ignorant to media that targets them because they enjoy the power it falsely gives them.
STOP USING SNOWFLAKE INCORRECTLY
Because the children who didn't understand these centre-left political games back then, and the devs that came out of these generations, grew up on a post 9/11 world that both made political discourse so polarized that you're either a straight up nazi or a completely retarded leftist that is officially deranged and serving lib right economic interests. This gets even worse when you consider the platform and audience expansion that the videogame industry has had since these times

Oh boy.

If someone made some half-assed generalization about the right, you'd whine about that. Just think about that for a minute.
Tomb Raider PS1 is? Not even the soft reboot is, get the fuck out with that. FF7 did get a redesign for Tifa that was influenced by this shit but what abotu Barret? He's black. No one complained.
How is it useful? Starting wars that benefit them but not us then giving them money is not useful to America at all. Since America allied with Israel, what benefits has America reaped?
it explores the positives and pitfalls of that system, sure, rapture eventually turned to shit but it was just because Ryan became what he hated and that gave power to Fontaine to undermine him
it's not simple CAPITALISM BAD COMMUNISM GOOD
that's why that game is ok while some other newer games aren¨t
Look at what I was replying to, realize your mistake and next time don't forget to read the full context.
I'm talking about the latest TR reboot.
Games made before gooberbate aren't "political" because incels hadn't gone fucking BERSERK back then.
It was more environmental than political, as is lots of Japanese media.

I've never played andromeda. I cant bring myself to play a new mass effect game after 3. It was that fucking bad. 1 and 2 were so good I really dont know how they thought turning mass effect into a movie with QTEs and less gameplay was a good idea. Literally no political discussion around 3 and it was objectively shit for the reasons I gave. Idc about what came after because it was never going to be good no matter what. The new (way shittier) design precedent was already set with mass effect 3. And again it had nothing to do with leftist politics, until andromeda I guess
It's too late to deal with Yea Forums's bullshit goalpost moving. You win, I'm going to sleep. Enjoy your internet points.
This. They don't bitch about pre-2014 games because then the right hadn't gone full schizo yet.
>the left is one person
Do we really need to go over this again?
That's literally what I'm replying to, think about that. You're not smart user, you're not going to "pull a fast one" on me. You're going to accept that as a fag you are inherently inferior in all aspects to everyone else.
This isn't twitter, you don't have an army of limp wristed fags to save you here.
>tfw leftists will never infect your hobby because the danger acts like a filter keeping them away
Doesn't excuse your retarded statement.
>environmental politics
>not politics
Stop projecting.
Then stop acting in a hive mind and people might take the "left" seriously. It's the same arguments, the same head in the sand bullshit.
And do we need to over THIS again?
Since when left wingers became the christian puritans they hated?
But they hate individualism. How are they not one person/hivemind?
Everything is a political statement; to not do anything is a political statement in itself.
Image being this tiny brained lol
2 main reasons.
Our current society is highly sensitive to political issues and rapid digitization and 2 consequences of this are a lot of radicalization of people to different political extremes and then a lot of short attention spans.
The second reason is a symptom of this.
It's all in the presentation.
Now games that have something to say politically often do it in a heavily biased way and have the subtlety of a high school powerpoint presentation on drugs.
I havent played all the titles in the OP, but the ones I have dont blatantly say "your idea is wrong and mine is right" like modern games would. Instead they focus on telling a story and any political messaging is woven into it as a core theme or thesis, but is explored thoroughly as possible in the comfines of that story. This was possible in a time where social media didnt encourage kneejerk reactions to everything and when creators would analyze ideas a bit more.
Nowadays people wouldn't even pick up on the eco-terrorist messaging of FFVII unless the game made blatant references to global warming and oil spills instead of mako reactors and materia.
No it isn't, you just pretend it is because it makes it easier to dismiss.
>Lara
I don't know about "censored" but nuLara is shit
>Tifa
People are allowed to complain about her tits shrinking, I don't know if I'd call them "right wing fagnuts"
>they hate individualism
Who? An entire half of the political spectrum?
Why do attractive women scare leftists so much? They complain about big tits and long hair yet the only chatacture of a leftist approved female is a buzz haired, piercings, bull dyke?
It's literally so common now that it's actually become its very own cliche. You know I'm right too before you get all pissy with me.
>Tomb Raider
>FF7
Not him but user, those games came out like 20+ years ago, and they weren't political then, and they aren't political now.
If the remaster of FF7 and latest iteration of Tomb Raider are "political" it's because something about them has changed, and you're too much of a zoom zoom to know what changed.
Hard to believe though that being against censorship now is immediately "right wing poilitics", pretty sure it would've been apolitical or left wing at best a few decades ago. Maybe some of the people complaining about censorship aren't actually political actors like your partisan sensibilities tell you, maybe they liked their video games the way they were, and just don't want them altered, regardless of the reason.
They didn't. They're mentally disordered and crave conveniences. If its convenient to pretend to care about morals, they'll do it.
Convenient because its convenient. Even if the truth is convenient. They don't care that its the truth. Only that it was convenient.
Sorry to tell you this then, but Andromeda was drenched in contemporary politics.
Characters were made uglier on purpose, lore was altered to make the Asari use gender-neutral pronouns, one character pretty much introduces herself as HELLO I'M TRANS and more.
It was a shitshow and the political motivation was clear from reading statements on social media by team members.
It really is user, or you wouldn't receive such pushback all the time in such large numbers.
Hey look, it's more projection
More than half considering the Overton Window.
What the fuck is with this weird fucking appeal? Why do you keep parroting this argument, Vaush?
Yes, an entire half of a political spectrum is united on something. This isn't some weird phenomenon.
Only degenerates are triggered by "reap what you sow".
God if I was half as stupid as you; that'd be grounds for me to kill myself tbqh
(pic related: it's you)
Age of internet and affluenza.
Which you didn't say in your post? What the fuck are you even talking about?
>Yes, an entire half of a political spectrum is united on something. This isn't some weird phenomenon.
Except the thing they're supposedly united on is something that gets debated even within that half to this very day. You're just trying to eliminate nuance in the "enemy" so you can do battle with a caricature.
You trying to deny who you are and what you're trying to do.
I ate a salami and dorito sandwich earlier, if that's a political statement to you in any way your head's so far up your ass it's back on top of your neck.
Who am I and what am I trying to do? I want to see how fucking insane you really are.
Yes it means you're willing to eat meat and processed food.
They do this often like it's not immediately apparent in their bad faith.
>more projection
>merely pretending
God; just put yourself out of your misery; you suffer from ape brain syndrome.
Yeah, you're right. Remember when a bunch of leftists came out and took a stand against Antifa? Oh wait, that didn't happen.
Well, remember when they took a stand against Resetera plotting to harass game devs if they made edgy and offensive content? Oh wait, that didn't happen either.
Well what about that time a bunch of leftists came together and took a stand against massive corporations coming together and collectively banning Alex Jones from all social media platforms? Oh wait, that never happened.
Well remember that time the left realized how underhanded it is for credit card companies to cut off all services to alt-righters? Oh wait, that didn't happen either.
Remember that time the left took a stand against #MeToo and agreed that it's just an excuse to witch hunt innocent people? Oh wait, that never happened.

The internet and smartphones becoming so widespread in such little time.
