Since when has this series been about politics?

[Cobly]

Seeing a lot of buzz around solid snake becoming a "woke" character and I hate to see his origin story be butchered by woke Konami. Politics do not belong in metal gear, it is a war game where you kill bad guys, nothing more.

[Khanjima]

The series is literally nothing but geopolitics what are you talking about

[Syynx]

Metal Gear has been political ever since the first release on the MSX.

You'd be hard pressed to find a MORE political game series. Smh.

Since the first game in the series, there have been anti-war, anti-nuke, and other geopolitical issues. As for identity politics, I really don't think there are any. 

This has got to be bait

100% bait, no one who has played any MGS game would ask that kind of question

Since when are there "bad" and "good" in MGS?..
There are just people there. Not bad, not good.

The Metal Gear series has been political ever since Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake MSX 1990 game. Its also the best in the series, since they added sounds, which may make enemies check out your location. It adds a real sense of thrill to it. Interms of influencing stealth genre this game is my favorite!

Maybe not first Metal Gear MSX game (Since that was just very standard, SPOILER (Betrayal stuff).
But 2nd one was absolutely political. But they are good games nonetheless!

you do realise iirc the phantom pain has a animation for knocking enemies out where you **** them right?

[REBirthTheEdge]

The US govt is literally the ultimate villain in these games.

Those who worship the US govt beware.

[sBuckler]

LMAO! Who tf is spreading rumors about revision to Solid Snake's origins and his becoming woke? You realize this game isn't about him, yeah?

Agree with the other responses. MGS has always been about war and politics. However, the politics have never been "identity" politics.

Woke Konami? What did they do? (Capcom and Square Enix have already been converted by the woke mob alas.) Maybe from Silent Hill remake character designs and censorship to appeal to "modern audience"?

There's a bisexual in Metal Gear Solid 2, probably best for you to stay away from the series, just to be safe.

It's not ideal.
