Why do people keep thinking that if a character have strong opinions on something then this means the game is advocating for that?

Why do people keep thinking that if a character have strong opinions on something then this means the game is advocating for that? I see this happen mostly with games like New Vegas but it's really common to see anons having meltdowns about characters on the "same side" having more nuanced opinions on something

    Anyone who thinks this is not sarcasm clearly knows nothing about Rance.

      What do you mean? He's constantly favoring women for traditionally male positions.

        I have no idea what this sentence means, but he fricks anything that moves.

          He prefers fighting alongside females and favors them when choosing command positions.

            If he had any friends he'd fight alongside them but he just had to play league of legends since s1.

        He's the "I play female characters because I dont want to stare at a mans ass" meme personified.

      It's not sarcasm at all. Rance loves women. He just thinks the best way to show that is to rape them.

        To be fair Rance only rapes women if they refuse sex.

      Anon. It genuinely isn't sarcasm.
      Rance himself believes it. He is just a tad detached from reality.

          Rance holds chivalrous and even some progressive values. Or at least he tells himself that.
          But then he breaks said values all the time, but when he makes excuses for himself. Excuses that he believes.

            the only values he holds is that he should do all the raping himself and that others shouldn't lay their hands on "his" girls

              And he doesn't stick to it, like letting Rick have Leila in the end.

                he mellows down a bit in later games but it's still the closest thing he has to "principles" "values"

              Rance "rape" is just him forcing sex on an unwilling woman but the girl ending up loving it and orgasming. Is that really rape then?

                >Rance "rape" is just him forcing sex on an unwilling woman
                like any other rape
                >but the girl ending up loving it and orgasming
                wome often orgasm during rape, probably more often that during consensual sex
                >Is that really rape then?
                it is and thats ok. Rance is a hero and probably the greatest man in his universe, it's like being angry at Alexander the Great for doing a little rape

            This is just localization, Rance doesn't have any "progressive values" in Japanese, even the iconic "I'm a feminist" sentence from him is different from the original one. Rance is one of the most localized/lost in translation VNs

      Rance kills every m*le that comes his way and doesn't make him think maybe boypussy ain't so bad. He's a peak alpha and alphas are feminists by default.

      More like "feminist" is equivalent to "gentleman" in Japanese.

        this actually. It's also why Eggman is a feminist in the Sonic Heroes manual, the JP version had him thinking of himself as a ladies' man

    If you are forced to listen to some soapbox sappy shit with no alternative, I can only assume the devs really felt this message was worth taking play time to share (it wasn't).
    It helps if you can skip or lash out violently against NPCs you personally disagree with.

    Games are fun because offer the player a safe opportunity to do all the weird, morally questionable and outright evil things they could think of, and that's a quality that should be treasured

    The answer to 99% of "Why does Ganker do [thing]?" questions is "because they're moronic". It's not complicated. This is not a board that appreciates nuance, generally speaking. Especially not the ones who post threads, which are a small minority of the site, and tend to be schizo spammers pushing a very specific agenda.

          Canada and Australia are big no-nos when it comes to any of that stuff.
          Some guy in Australia got arrested for having porn of a e-girl-looking actress and the pornstar had to testify in court that she was 18+ when it was filmed.

            Australia (at least the biggest jurisdictions) doesn't use a homegrown CAM rating system so she either looked so underage no one thought she could reasonably be an adult, the coppers were moronic and it got thrown out almost immediately or you're repeating some half-remembered statement you saw on Ganker that is probably stretched or distorted beyond reason.

    Secondaries forget that the Continent is very much a crapsack world, and while Rance does some questionable things, he is well justified as being treated as a hero vs. all the other world leaders who treat genocide as just another Tuesday.
