new stonetoss. he's correct here. many gamers never learned any lessons, never learned to identify strange additions to narrative and ask why the hell it was done, and never grew past being libtards. they're just longing for the days where the propaganda was of higher quality

@smugumin there have always been women protags and nonwhite characters in games. It's totally fine. There are games with only white people that are preachy and weird too, even the rightoid games (sometimes especially). All gamers want is good games and to not feel like they're being talked down to or pestered about political shit they don't agree with in faggy ways.

Metal Gear and FF7 are great examples of games that have propaganda in them but are still fucking amazing.

@beardalaxy @smugumin it's also the fact it's harder to find apolitical nerds anymore

@sendpaws @beardalaxy @smugumin metal gear has always had propaganda in it, kind of.

@icedquinn @beardalaxy @smugumin it's more the fact that the guy you know who also wanted sex with sonic characters is now crashing out about what he read about on NPR.org

@WhitestTemplar @icedquinn @beardalaxy @sendpaws @smugumin Spoilers. Phantom Pain was insufferable if played unmodded regarding the storyline nigglet child soldiers. The mission autofails if you kill their hostile variants, and you’re forced to escort a nonhostile faction of nigglets to an evac site, then later they betray you and bail at the snap of their leader (young Liquid Snake)’s fingers. Also this is done by them after Quiet nearly died retrieving one of their sentimental trinkets(a possession of one of the dead nigglets) due to some sabotage at Mother Base on Liquid’s orders. Lot of gratitude after all that babysitter shit Miller of all people demanded against my will if I wanted to advance the story. Separately Huey was completely awful and treacherous but you’re not allowed to get vengeance for your men he knowingly caused the deaths of since it would cause a time paradox in the series. The game didn’t even let you kill Skullface. You and Miller give him officer Murphy/Robocop style amputations and Huey finishes him off.
