>Keep politics out of my vidya!
When are you going to realize that EVERYTHING is inherently political, Zig Forums?
Keep politics out of my vidya!
>keep politics out of my vidya!!!
>u-unless it's my politics!
/vpol/ is pathetic
imagine being this insecure
I wonder what user will come up with "politics" in the video game "Tetris."
idk what would make you think that posting a twitter screencap as bait to get replies on a stupid website full of loser is funny but here we are
having everybody white and racist in anime is political, but crackers love that so.that dont count
This is completely retarded. Stuff like Code Geass is political, but it's politics pertain entirely to the in universe politics. They didn't just suddenly go "but what about the trans and gay and black people?". Sure, there are parallels to real life politics, but that's always gonna be the case because you can't just invent "new" politics. The same goes for political games that retards like to mention, like Deus Ex.
Its very anti lgbtq+ because the best piece is the only straight one.
Keep current-day politics out of vidya. Keep political intent ("conveying a political message" over "conveying an engaging narrative") out of vidya. No, you can't "do both" because there has never been an example of it and I have no reason to give you the benefit of the doubt that yours will be the first.
And finally, exterminate all garbage twitter screencap threads.
They wont stop until everything is under their thumb. That is why they must be stopped. One bullet at a time
>defending forced diversity and generic females
>in-universe politics ≠ forced real life politics
That nigga should learn the difference.
>keep games apolitical
>by showing the wermaht in positive light
Those anime aren't trying to be political, especially not in the context of modern america or the west for that matter
>Game is designed specifically around politics with a political plot and message.
>Game is designed around treasure hunting/Zombies/farming but half way through you gotta attend a BLM rally.
Nice to see that niggas still don't understand the difference between inherent politics in settings and wordbuilding vs shoehorned politics because some fags on twitter cry for representation.
I just love how they keep beating the same drum over and over again, only making fools of themselves in the eyes of anyone who's able to properly differentiate.
This. Whoever that Twitter guy is probably thinks he is making an argument for more BLM shit to be shoved into all media but in reality he is just retarded
These retards still don't get it.
It celebrates russian culture
>u-unless it's my politics!
Are you implying that isn't how everyone is?
It's only 'political' when themes and subjects that don't adhere to or that deviate from polcel worldview are explored in the material.
In other words, idw/stormfront/rightie incels are only capable of being egocentric.
Once again, liberals miss the point entirely because they don't actually listen to what other people are saying. When people say politics they mean activism, not political subjects. You can make a political statement and not be an insufferable activist. And yes, everyone can tell the difference when someone is trying to shove homoshit down your throat for the sake of advancing an agenda and not exploring ideas to tell a good story.
People should stop saying politics in games, start saying activism. Identify the people against you as activists because that's what they are.
Yeah, I too remember Elric's goal in FMA was to become the fuhrer.
That's literally what lefties are doing too, though.
>shows that were made for literal children
>"political"
OH NO NO NO ANIMEBROS WE'VE BEEN FOUND OUT
Identity politics != politics in general
You can keep your transgender acceptance in shit like Volcano High, and I can go ahead and enjoy political games like FF Tactics.

There is a difference between politics and pushing a agenda. SJW's are pushing a agenda, and I don't want none of that. And thankfully neither does majority of the world since every time someone goes woke they go broke.
T is the best piece though
Why do people call tranny shilling "politics", anyways? It has literally nothing to do with actual politics (a.k.a. what governments deal with), and it does nothing but make retards like in the OP misunderstand the problem.
In universe politics/political themes =/= irl political posturing by the devs
Faggots screeching "your favorite gaem has politicsssss, ahaha bet your feel stupid now!!!!1!!" deserve the rope for wasting oxigen
>Cry more, weebs
t. ironic weeb
By politics, people means modern politics.
Code Geass is about an imperialistic Anglo Empire taking over Japan, and its japanese prince fighting for rebellion using his own cult of personality instead of the dogmatic Japanese resistance. Also he has mind control beams and a green haired immortal girl with a tiny hat.
You can try to draw parallels between the Empeor but they arent shoved in your face like soup in a soup store. They can be enjoyed in their own self-contained medium.
Note that all those shows in that picture has different messages.
This. You can find real-world politics anywhere if you’ve been brainwashed. There’s a reason why it’s called fiction.
you just described the left
communism
What are the politics of 100% Orange Juice?
politics are for faggots
They added a new mechanic to Tetris 99 where getting 3 lines cleared with a T-piece will earn you more points than clearing 4 with a straight.

Wait, what fucking political message doesn FMA have?
Its more about morality and the ethics of alchemy and the alchemists than anything else
Is this because of the extermination of the Ishbal and them being brown?
What a faggot regardless
Politics is fine
American politics is not
SPACENOID LIVES MATTER!
Because of affirmative action forcing everyone around to pander to it so it can score bonus points
the problem is that leftists are NPCs and subtlety is a completely foreign concept to them
Should just specify "keep your retarded delusional shit out" from now on.
You fucking chickenshits.
>514476549
i agree
Zig Forums is braindead Zig Forums children nowaways
the outrage over TLoU2 is some of the cringiest shit ive ever seen.
There's sort of a secondary conflict between Mustang and the state. It's not the real focus of the series but it questions the sanity of allowing the military to hold a place in your civilian government, because it gives them too much autonomy to create wars instead of defend their nations from wars.
>white women
This.
You need to be 18+ to be here
>is
shouldn't be throwing around insults like that champ
I think he just means "there is a government in this anime, therefore there are politics, therefore it's exactly the same as having trannies in your game". A false equivalence, if you will.
What people mean by keep politics out of my hobby:
"Fucking hell, your attempt at political writing would be embarrassing for a 12 year old, and you're a team of grown adults."
When people complain about politics they mean this: "Stop insulting me. I don't want sexism and racism in my games".
Western games constantly berate and disrespect males, especially white males. Men are portrayed as retarded human trash who deserve to be killed ad laughed at. Obviously, there are people who will reject these hateful messages. You might try to convince people that these games are like, for example, Final Fantasy VII because both are "political". But FFVII isn't insulting or hateful. They don't blame men (or women) of these world's problems. Complaining about the excessive power of big corporations is a message that most people can accept. As a matter of facts, leftists tend to be much more defensive of billionaries and big corporations.
None of those insert "random real world flavor of the month political thing that doesn't make sense in universe and the characters would have no knowledge of"
Its a commentary of captialism failing to where to gain fortune you either get lucky and win big or become ruthless and turn to crime/violence.
I agree with these intellectuals.
leftists are low IQ
low IQ people can ONLY grasp politics when its placed into a childlike setting, like harry potter "mudbloods" or the 90's X-men fighting AIDS, and only then when it has a simple moral message that agrees with them
>thinking real world politics = identity/gender politics
Go dilate you fucking tranny.
No one cares for politics as a backdrop to tell a story, what people complain about is when politics take the main stage of the game
kind of a retarded logic, with the same logic if making and designing clothes becomes a major part of action games/anime that you're forced to go through even though nobody in the fanbase cares about it then you can't complain because every game has clothes
sure every game/anime has "politics" to some degree, and clothes, and transportation, and food, and animals, and technology etc doesn't mean that a major part of the game/anime should be about any of those things in a very shoehorned manner especially when nobody asked for it
Politics in media is fine. Gracefully weaving it into the narrative without beating you over the head with it is the trick.
Take Half-Life 2 for example. It has a strong anti-colonialism message but it gets that message across without a character having to turn to the camera and say "this is just like what those asshole Western Europeans did." I mean, yeah it is but let the audience absorb that organically through an interesting story instead of bashing us over the head.
Lelouch was a brit though, and he was fighting for daddy issues, not rebellion.
This right here
How does that comment not make sense? The german soldiers were still human, they weren't all just Tarantino style KKK
>keep politics out of
No tranny faggots, learn the difference of politics in the story vs political agenda by the writer/director
>Keep REAL LIFE politics out of my vidya!
FTFY
CK2 is a good way to do it. You can be as far left or far right as you want.
Women are entirely equal to men, have a Matrilineal succession system, while you allow intermixing races and culture with liberal as hell religions that allow interfaith marriages? Sure.
Men run the show while women have no role, state and religion are one and the same in a hyperauthoritarian state that expels and exterminates Jews and other people that aren't your own? Why not.
Exploring an idea or question through a story =//= creating propaganda to push a message at the cost of story.
I know ideologues and smooth brains have trouble with nuance, but there is a difference.
The politics of in game/comic/movies/etc used to be only related to said product. Like others have mentioned already. If they had a message they wanted to push it would be in analogies or metaphors. Subtle or at least tried to be. Now it's not even clever writing. It's just straight up in your face.
The Game Journos™ have already beat them to the punch.
Are they fucking retarded?
Do they know the difference between using existing or fictional politics or ideologies to flesh out your world and injecting your own ideologies into something?
Legend of the Galactic Heroes uses democracy and authoritarian forms of government to convey a story, Gundam does the same thing with the Earth Federation and the colonies, Code Geass is a modern day monarchy.
It's very different than using than hijacking an existing franchise and injecting what would be considered "woke" into an already existing world, which is what tends to happens in video games, since the games already built with wokeness in mind tend to crash and burn right at the doorstep.
>Uhhhhh but sweaty this video game fictional country is capitalist so it's real life politics, check your privilege fucking bigot
Hunter x Hunter
It's just too bad its a Paradox DLC chassis.
>Ghost in the shell
super police who are all objectively good people take down problems the government can't handle
>FMA
every single person of dark skin is either evil or at least starts out evil except for like two token ishvalans that don't do anything. blonde and blue eyed germanic peoples and east asians work together to defeat the badguy, who in his true form is a face that's pure black
>Code Geass
Imperial-era japanese sentiments about freeing your country from the modernization that america brought post WW2. The protagonists rebelion against his dictator father doesn't actually change the system he created (to say, democracy), he just changes who the leaders are
>Whatever the last shit is, probably a gundam by the artstyle
The only true way to get what you want is to have the best Gun(dam) there is
very progressive.
I think that assesment falls a bit flat when you learn that every aspect of that government has been under the control of Homunculus since its inception, a basically god-like being and its inmortal soldiers
Is trying to draw real world parallels like trying to find clothes in a soup store?
Fucking hell son, I think you take the cake for must succinct way of putting it.
PDX games have a general rule; buy the base game, pirate the DLC.
Quite literally this.
