Do right wing/conservative (mainstream) video games even exist?

[Akboris]

Ive noticed that seemingly every video game to ever make it big and generate enough to create a whole franchise of games, and hell, even most one off games to see a full release, parrot left wing talking points and themes and agendas beneath the surface (with varying quality of writing of course), why does it seem like genuinely conservative video games, as in, created by or at least with the intent of supporting conservatives or right wing ideals, basically dont exist?

This is also funny given just how much pressure certain groups place on the industry to parrot specific ideals and agendas, given that the industry almost already support them.

Every Japanese game.

(yes Japan is probably the most conservative contry on earth)

[Moogal™]

The lack of woke in Japanese games make for the best ground of making games, and also anime isn't woke also.

Anime and Japanese games can't go around 2 seconds without implying one way or another that women might be lesbian... that's a pretty "woke" thing. Also Anime and Japanese games don't try to pretend women don't exist or can't fight, how mane Anime and Japanese games exist where women are not only more capable fighters in war than men are but also hold positions of power over men? again, pretty "woke".

Anime and Japanese had positive depictions of trans characters more often than not as well. Again, pretty "woke".

If "right-wing"/conservative video games mean some heteronormative games where there are strong masculine men and feminine women, it is reasonable to say that most games are like that nowadays, yes. That is basically indisputable if you actually examine games one by one.

Most of the complaints are related to the fact that fraction of the games out there are trying to break away from such norms. But most of them are still tied to such norms and will be.

I like how people are being gaslit into thinking that 90%+ of game developers and people working in the industry aren't white. Or that ethnic minority representation in video games isn't currently around 1-2%. While both points are literally true as we're speaking.

It is still a very homogeneous environment. And some people are actively questioning if that's a good thing or not.

But feel free to elaborate what do you mean by "right-wing" and "conservative" video games if it doesn't relate to any of this. Maybe that would help improve the answers.

Theres no "wave " of "left wing" games. Theres normal people and then theres you right wing freaks.

How are the right wing freaks? They are not the ones going half naked in the streets in clothes of the other gender and mutilating their own bodies.

That point isn't true.

But you're free to provide a source.

Since I'm fairly sure you won't(since that's your new thing now) I found one for you.

Because the only people that get upset over the restroom sign on a space ship featuring a unisex symbol are right wingers.

Because the only people to get upset that an RPG's character creator lets you choose your custom characters genitals and pronouns are right wingers.

Because the only people to get upset that a female protagonist isn't hyper sexualised and doesn't wear skimpy outfits all the time are right wingers.

Shall I continue or do you get the point?

Yeah, it does sort of look like the only real qualifiers that define right wing, with respect to gaming, seems to be, addicted to rage and the only way to feed/stoke that endlessly is to keep saying what ever new thing is wrong/bad.

That could be considered a personal policy, it isn't however a political process, its just chaos.

Conservative stuff seems to still have a standard and steady definition that does not shift around endlessly. At this point I would say being conservative might end up being left wing with how warped and distorted being right wing has become.

If right wing was a thing in games, the traditional right wing before it became crazy, I'd say the qualifier would be more along the lines of strong nationalistic/leader focused hierarchy sort of things, in a global market you can not do well as a game promoting your nation ahead someone elses, it's just be a flame-war of epic proportions. Also, why would anyone want to play/game an advertisement?

Actually much of what you described is "woke vs everyone else" And "woke" is definitely a left wing ideology.

Consider JK Rowling, she's a far-left socialist who rejects much of gender theory and would get upset at all the things you listed despite not being a right-winger.

Yes indeed, this made up "culture war" is just one group of people getting upset that other groups of people get some representation. Rather than enjoying the diversity of gaming and being an enjoyable friendly environment for all, there are some people who want the whole industry to submit to one set of norms. That already goes against the fundamentals of art. But it's not like such facts matter to them.
