Really tired of how political games are becoming lately

[I Can Imagine Anything]

I missed when games used to be fun, not trying to shove their politics in my face.

Woke are not, publisher practices are getting out of hand anyway. Ubisoft going gung-ho with laughably priced additions, and is another shining example of how Disney/The Ministry of Entertainment only wants people to be miserable. Weather you're based and sick of the bastardization of society, or a thrall that only gives-in because being a virtue warrior distracts you from your perpetual misery, it all sums up to divide and conquer us.

I've freed myself from the headbutting state of the game industry. I have a huge backlog, many timeless games (Saints Row 2 being my all-time favorite), and as with here, supporting indie devs that can evade cultural mandates.

I'm a straight man.

I have values.

I appreciate the female form; body and soul.

I respect those with alternative lifestyles (why can't we just call it that instead of an immature slew of letters??) who embrace them as INDIVIDUALS and not corporate/idealist-driven saps.

I embrace SATIRE and that every culture, religion, ethnicity are free-game for parody, while also appreciating their cultures, values, and and as overall fellow humans.

I want the education system to adhere core academics and not suggestive idealism.

I believe a six-figure salary should be earned with hard work and education, as opposed to say..... a website that can give virtually any woman that monthly, for the low-low price of their soul.

I'm a DJ that wishes the world would embrace uplifting music and not degenerating gangster-hop and misandrist pop.

I'm a human being, and I simply want to agree to disagree, while free to express myself to my fellow like-minds.

I love you all. Stay blessed, stay based.

That is all very true. Well, Adam Post has been constantly pointing out that DEI has been collapsing in universities and store chains, so its downfall will eventually reach the gaming industry as well. But I'd be lying if I denied wishing it would happen now.

The issue is that while you or I may wish to return to a time when video games were a-political, the people who fund them, the governments who decide what should be banned, the police, the international banks, the multinational megacorps... Well they all disagree.

They think you should be drowned under a deluge of anti-white, anti-male, anti-straight anti-christian, anti-western european political messaging. This is to divide and demoralise your nation and it's folk.

So we cannot return to the time of a-political games untill we remove the current cancer. If we ignore it, it just spreads. We tried that for years. Doesn't work. They don't care about profits or awards. It's just about forcing THE MESSAGE down your throat. From every screen, every billboard, every speaker, every celebrity, every piece of escapism.

You will never escape it completely without defeating it at it's root source.

So, since we cannot escape politics in video games, we may aswell have fun politics we agreee with. Internally consistent politics. Common sense, morality-based politics.

Then make your own game. This is what pro-Gamergate people said in 2014. Then you get mad that people did and you're not seen as a valid demographic anymore. So make your own game if you're this silent majority of an untapped market. You can be swimming in money instead of crying on a forum when you actually got what you wanted.

Video games weren't apolitical. They reflected the values of the white men who made them and the values of the civilization that their white, male forbears had made. Most art did, until around the beginning of the 20th century. Games lasted longer than most art, because they're new and didn't have a very big audience until the last 20-30 years.

They now reflect a different people's values.

Congrats you now felt what all of us felt when DEI nonsense and woke censorship got shoved into our face in every other mainstream games, now go and try to tell the exact same thing in suicide squad or Assassin's creed discussion and watch yourself get banned.

This is just beginning. Look, think what you will of Breitbart, but he was 100% correct when he stated that "politics is downstream of culture", we know it, they know it, which is why there is such a huge effort to push leftist dogma and to normalize it. Look at TV, movies, streaming and otherwise; you can't help but notice the leftist putsch. Peep this guys, the gaming industry is multiples the size of Hollywood and music, combined, so there is going to be much effort to politicize the environment. If the right doesn't push back with the same effort all of gaming, like most of Hollywood and music, will be woke and gay. So, yeah, this is just the beginning.

If you want to get away from current day politics do as I do, play older games. Do yourself a favor.

I remember the white male values of killing demons in DOOM (John Romero isnt white but lets play along with the narrative), or the white atrocity that was PONG, Duck Hunt especially triggered me and I still have temporary short term PTSD from it.

Why are you so obsessed with games being made with a certain races "values" (whatever that means)? Why are you incapable of just enjoying something if you find it fun? I might not agree with some developers opinions and beliefs but if they make a fun game Im not going to lie to myself, so long as their beliefs arent harming others obviously.

Don't worry, you have the whole industry for yourself for that

Same here. I despise the woke crowd but I don't enjoy the politics from the other side of the spectrum much more.

Ok, fair enough, I guess you can play one of the countless non-political indie games out there? Us making a small game parodying wokeness and clearly advertising it as such is not the same as Blackrock etc. trying to coopt every single game franchise out there for their agenda.

Well that's just the way games are. TBH, it's nothing new there has always been politics in games. Leftist ideals they were subtle. But it's leftist philosophy. And this goes back to really old games. There was a game that insulted the dead soldiers of the UK with the poppy. Cannon fodder. In response to the anger. One of the devs said he hates all soldiers who took part in the war and still in military. (I'm putting it in a nice way. What the dev said was really insulting to soldiers and those who defended the UK.) The game was to show how pointless war is. Which okay but you don't need to insult the people who had to fight to defend their families and home.

But you have politics in majority of games. Yet when one game from us comes up you feel the need to voice it? why not voice it with games like life is strange. GTA, Red dead Redemption, etc. The vast majority of all mainstream games have leftist politics in them. Take a RPG if you make a capitalist choice you are some how bad. If you make a choice protecting the state somehow good. Many little things like this are still political.
