Remember, it's only political if you disagree with it. The Fallout series is famously apolitical for this reason.

The implication being that people who dislike modern games for being too "political", really just don't like women and minorities and never noticed the political overtones that were always present. I have no idea how some people could look at Liberty Prime, who literally shouts propaganda as he fights, and think he's an apolitical robot in an apolitical game.

Want to know what is funny? There are people who complained that they aren't normal Godzilla fans and these are people from both sides of the aisle meaning people on Twitter who don't understand things. I have seen this from those that complained about games it's those people from Twitter.

But they all complained that Godzilla is too political and I pointed out to them Godzilla was made because of political reasons and then they kept following that path in all their movies. Even if some of the messages are very odd.

Then I was called by those people I accept and allow this problematic or what those that complain go stop being a commie I just go eh Twitter.

this is a long frustration of mine. I have a masters degree in politics, so when I analyze media I often use this lens because it's what I know. But it's easy to see when you look for it, writers exist within the context of the world they live in, and recreate these things. Sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it's unintentional, but these power relations are always political.

Every time a dev gets on an interview and claims their game is non-political to appease certain segments of the audience I get angery.
