"politics" involves pretty much anything that constitutes of humans, their societies, and how they run them https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/politics a story about people who withdraw from society inherently poses a societal (and therefore political) question, regardless of what the creator says they intend but i assume you mean an explicitly 'red team versus blue team' definition of politics- i haven't played it, so don't know if there's any of that in there --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

I think it is true that Sunny's shut-in tendencies stop him from helping his friends in the way that other characters like Kel do, so that's something that you could take from it, but it's not the focus of the story by any means. The real emphasis of that part of the story is on the importance of facing your own problems instead of hiding from them. Omori is definitely not an explicitly political story. There's really no discussion of politics in the game unless you try to take a metaphorical interpretation of what happens to make it relate to politics, which I personally would consider to be a stretch. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!

There's really no discussion of politics in the game unless you try to take a metaphorical interpretation of what happens to make it relate to politics, which I personally would consider to be a stretch. Yeah this is my takeaway. Plus look at how everyone else is doing. Kel and Hero are doing fine, they have their family and other friends. They maintained their healthy social bonds. Sunny and Aubrey are not doing fine, because they turned their backs on their friends. When they reconnect, they start doing better. I think the contrast between Kel's family and everyone else's is supposed to be a major part of the message. Kel's the one who is trying to be a good friend even when it's hard. --- Neato, an account <cite>NeatoAnAccount posted [p:952574210] in omori's no...

Counterpoint: people are fine with every SF game, every Mortal Kombat game, every FF game, every sports game, every GTA game, every Watch Dogs game, every Metroid game, Portal, Celeste, etc etc etc No one complains about literally all diversity except for openly racist crazy people. Everyone who accepts that "forced diversity" is real will put approximately the same set of games in the "forced diversity," "unforced diversity," and "no diversity" buckets.

Though if they're complaining that it's political, you can probably safely assume they're mad about stuff from my first post. --- Change is weird. <cite>mnkboy907 posted [p:952614194] in omori's no...

Why lie? nobody ever said this, and it's also completely beside the point. <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:952614335] in omori's no...

NeatoAnAccount 04/08/21 5:10:46 PM #28:	You're trying to change what I'm arguing. All I said is no one calls a game political purely because there's a woman or a black person. That is true. --- Neato, an account <cite>NeatoAnAccount posted [p:952614460] in omori's no... [t:79392911]...</cite> <quote>You're trying to change what I'm arguing.

Go over to the Switch board and make a topic asking if the next Zelda game should have a black Link and just see what kinds of responses you get. That is literally a different thing than the inclusion of a new black character and that would obviously be pandering to the woke crowd pjbasis posted... It's true but it's a very short distance from making the assumption that if the main character(s) are female or black, it is because the creator is trying to be woke. No it isn't. Everyone knows when you're trying to be woke and when you're not. That's my whole point.
