Topic	I miss the days when games were apolitical
PaunchyTurtle53 05/09/21 1:08:05 PM #27:	ultimate reaver posted... how about before we start digging into new vegas' extremely common and not very deep "choose your lesser evil" faction writing, we talk about how half of that novel of a post you wrote earlier was entirely wrong and you knew nothing about the game you were presenting as pushing an agenda If it's not very deep then we shouldn't have to dig very far now should we? On that note, there is more to the game then just the main factions. You know that right? And there's more political commentary then just them right? Or would you hate to admit that the only politics you understand in games are the ham-fisted ones that are shoved in your face like so many modern video games? Now, moving on, and ok, here's where I'll take a hit. I refuse to believe that Abby is not Transgender. I know that the game says that she's not, (Probably to take the defense that they're not pushing an agenda), but her face is masculine, and she's built like a god-damned tank. She lacks any feminine features at all. But if Naughty Dog suddenly just Ret-conned it and said, "Nope she is transgenders" be honest, would that actually surprise anyone? At all? NightRender posted... Let's take Arcade Gannon. Why is he gay? Because if you're playing a gay man as a character, it gives you a romance option. On top of that, he's not the antagonist/ protagonist, and some people may play the game without ever realizing he's there. So, not pushing an agenda. IloveJesus posted... He won't respond to that because it would require him to admit that he was wrong. Probably some incel shitposter. Wrong I will respond to anything. Also, yes I am absolutely a shitposter. %100. But I am not an incel. --- The best advice my dad ever gave me was, "Life's full of idiots, don't be one." <cite>PaunchyTurtle53 posted [p:953725569] in I miss the...
