          Disco Elysium tackles a high variety of different political topics and is actually designed in intelligent ways, and pretty much every character you encounter is some sort of caricature, nothing political in the game is full on serious and intended to be taken for granted

                This idea that you can't just admire beauty for the sake of it and that beauty's only usefulness is as fuel for a jack off session as if it's nothing more than a metaphorical cum rag to be discarded is an extremely repulsive and vile way to look at life. Of course, I don't think that's a genuine opinion because these people are never genuine. I think it's just a cover for their spite in the idea of perceived "enemy tribe" enjoying things.

              You’re a brain-rotted coomer you can only imagine beauty as a means of jerking off. If if you need to stare at repulsive people to resist your urge for fapping
              Men and women want to see beautiful people because for the same reason they enjoy looking at the sun setting over the sea, because it is beautiful.
              I have never looked for Yuna porn in my life, yet even as a kid I could tell that her face, her dress, and her dance over the water was beautiful. You would look at the same scene and think about touching yourself

                Mentally healthy men and women don’t start jerking off after they finish going into a museum featuring nude art, watch a movie with a pretty actress, or play a game where they find the NPCs attractive. If someone can’t separate appreciation for beauty from masturbation, it makes sense that they’d want devs to fill the game with the monstrosities you see in Starfield so that they can keep their urges in check

    1985. Richard Garriott releases Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, introducing a mechanic and core quest system of eight virtues which the hero must embody to complete the game. This was in response to comments that previous Ultima games were amoral and rewarded players for stealing from and murdering innocent people, which was an easier way to obtain gold and loot than earning it legitimately.

        When you say political do you just mean “has LGBT representation”? Why would you say “political” when that’s what you mean?

          nta but "representation" is political. Characters aren't made black or gay out of genuine inspiration or spontaneity anymore, they're made to score points. Thats the difference between something political and something that isn't, in this context, assuming you're actually asking and not just arguing in bad faith like every other gay.

            I’m trying to demonstrate to you that you’re never going to get good faith replies to whatever it is your asking when you say “get political” because it’s a poor way to frame what you’re asking about. As many have demonstrated, games have always been political. Be more precise in your language.
            Anyway to answer your question it’s part of a large scale cultural shift that had many sources, including the Obama presidency, the Occupy movement, and the rise of YouTube and Twitter as dominant social media platforms. It’s partially fueled by places like Ganker because Ganker purposefully makes itself unlikable and people who consider themselves good guys can virtue signal to each other by doing stuff that makes Ganker (and other places like it) angry.

          >made by people who had actual interest in politics both modern, historical and speculated future (for their time) political issues and did research to understand the topic they wanted to tackle. The "political" games they make are both based on serious political issues and sometimes conspiracy theories, and are created NOT to be preachy or "educate" gamers about the "only true way", but rather to use political concepts as a tool to tell an interesting story. You get a product thats thought provoking, can be looked at from multiple angles and is bound to cause interesting, long-running discussion where each person can have their own interpretation.

They don't see videogames as a medium to tell an interesting story, but rather as a tool they can use to educate the poor unwashed masses about the Only Right Thing To Do and call everyone who believes otherwise an evil fascist genocidal nazi. They don't allow any discussion or interpretation that doesn't fit in their "intended" worldview, and any criticism is equal to murder and genocide. All that ever matters is to spread the Only True Message - anyone who doesn't follow it is evil.

    I blame Wolfenstein. Maybe Metroid for having a female protagonist.

    You’re going to love the trannies.
    You’re going to want to hug the trannies.
    You’re even going to want to kiss them.
    Stop being afraid of change and accept them for who they are.

      I know this is satire, but it's scary how some people think this way.
      Like who is actually pushing all this nonsense?
      is there any sense about man acting like woman you were born as an man and you will die as an man.

      Why waste money so you pretend to be something you are not?

    Probably Raid Over Moscow in 1984. Pretty obvious Cold War propaganda in video game form.

    political video games have always been a thing. i wouldn't even say they're propaganda. western games have become obsessed with including the zietgiest into their games. i play games for fun and escapism, I don't want anything to do with real world politics in them. it wasnt always like this, seems like it has been happening a lot the last 10 or so years though.

      The meaning of cover buzzwords like that doesn't matter to anyone. The basis of right wing "thought" is to presuppose genocide and twist out any possible justification. Everything in between fear and hatred -> genocide is just bullshit people spew because it's socially unacceptable to say the quiet part out loud right now.

        No, anon, you just think all indie games are depressioncore walking sims where all the characters are gay furries because the only information about video games you get is dripfed to you by twitter and Ganker and youtube.

    Trendy social politics and The Resistance(tm) approved politics are so asinine that I don't ever want to meet someone who equates it with that found in games of old or God forbid, actually enjoys it. You're a fucking tool.
