Topic	Are modern video games too "political"?
ellis123 11/07/23 12:09:36 PM #38:	PraetorXyn posted... AC6s political themes are subtle enough many if not most people wouldnt get them until they were pointed out. They absolutely are not. It's just that there is a non-trivial amount of simple-minded individuals that cannot fathom that something in games that isn't "insert literal real world thing here is bad" can actually be related to real world anything. Like, FFVII practically beats you over the head with "stop polluting" and people still did not get that it was political. There is just a level of inability to accept that things that aren't the existence of women or minorities is a political thing. There is no "back in the day games were subtle", it's "back in the day people were kids who never actually had a single thought about politics in their head." --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!" My FC is in my profile. <cite>ellis123 posted [p:977084413] in Are modern...
