Why do you keep making new accounts to post this?

Because they’re bitter morons who use terms like “woke” and “snowflake”

You'd think after all these months you'd find another topic to make shitposts about on all your day old accounts.

People like to whine and get upset when they find something that contradicts their world view. Politics/etc in video games, movies, etc is ok as long as they agree with it and don't have to think about or reevaluate themselves.

Yup. "Politics I disagree with are ruining video games" is what they really mean.

If you don't get it, it's because you're actually intelligent and realize their rhetoric doesn't make sense to begin with and has no internal logic to it.

They are upset that video games are trying to have some meaning and message to them instead of just being mindless entertainment with pointless violence.

I don’t even think that’s the case. They’ll complain about games with no meaning or message but have a female on the cover.

Also actually a good point -_-

"Politics" is a pretty general concept for these people.

When minorities and political dissidents face persecution in real life, and play a videogame that treats them as no different than anyone else or validates their worldview, how is that not also "escapism" for them.

reddit answer is correct in this case, even if the spelling is not.

Meh I agree people don't like politics they don't agree with I would say just make a good game!

I take issue with any game that is trying to push a message or issue instead of just letting me get lost in it - do I care that I play as a man no ...do I care that I play as a woman no... do I care that a game seems to have an agenda and no story YES

Just make a good game don't try to make all types of people the bad guy/girl or make me think let me switch my brain off and escape life for a little while thank you

The only times I've heard that was due to women or non-whites as characters, so I assume it's based off of pure misogyny and racism

People have always said that so it’s just a new wave of “back in my day” people
