@drq @coolboymew What you are saying is that any story that is set in a kingdom automatically promotes monarchism.

The Mario series has never said if Monarchism is good or bad. Bowser is stated to be evil but it has never been said what his ideology is or what he plans to do with the Mushroom Kingdom.

It's all left into interpretation. You can find countless theories online saying how one series is promoting this ideology when you can find another theory saying it promotes something else. The political messages of these stories (if any) are usually left to interpretation or sometimes as in-game choices.

@amerika @MilquetoastQT

Perhaps ultimate truth cannot be written or articulated.

It must surely exist, because facts exist and the physicsl realities of the universe behave according to saod facts.


Agree that reality is shared and perceived unequally.

WHYYYY!!

I love quizes, but why do they want me to do a buzzfeed quiz at MY JOB??? :blobsadrain:

@drq

>And according to you, those shouldn't exist, or?... Because...

This is a game attempting to be realistic, not a Japanese campy highschool girls shooting game, some of the elements in the game are pretty ludicrous

>And this is bad how? Some people design this way, some do another.

Ungracefully shoving your agenda in people's entertainment tends to get people to hate you, yes

>Again, this is bad how? And what does it have to do with work in question? Don't answer, it's irrelevant.

It's incredibly relevant. Anita Sarkeesian's whole deal was to ungracefully push feminist agenda in the games on an unwilling audience. She went in prominence through lies, deceit and because of many ideological idiots like Neil Druckmann

>Yeah. "Apolitical" art pushes politics you already agree with.

That's a whole lotta assumption in one little sentence

Tell me the politics of my favorite games:
1- Mischief Makers
2- Super Mario RPG
3- Sonic Adventure 2
4- Chrono Trigger
5- Illusion of Gaia
...

Actually I'll throw you some softballs
Mother 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses (yet to finish it however), Final Fantasy 6, Phoenix Wright series

Is there anything you can do with these?

>Yeah, even from your position. I would take a work that says ("pushes" as you say) something rather than one that says nothing. Because saying nothing is... Quite boring, don't you think?

I play video games to be entertained, not for someone's propaganda. The issue that comes with people with clear agenda, is that they usually can't abstain themselves from really fucking with their work in an irredeemable manner that makes it an unfun POS
