Imagine if people said, “I wish there weren’t politics in movies”. Or, “I wish there weren’t politics in books”.
Saying you don’t want politics in video games means you don’t want video games to be a legitimate art form that represents wider culture. Not to mention, everything is political. You literally cannot decouple everyday human existence from things written by humans.
Tell us what you really think Midare!
you are right… I am not happy with that one. Shoulda been dante…
Edit, corrected due to misread.
Art is legitimate without “meaning” by the effort and skill of making it alone.
Art can have meaning the way you want it, i just strongly disagree that it’s just “pretty colors” if it doesn’t have politics; as if people don’t become inspired without it.
I feel like I am having flashbacks of an old theatre professor I had that took great pride in the first Greek plays on record also making stances about current times (of the day of course). But yeah big agree I think it is important.
Also for emphasis very much this.
Check discord… don’t tell me I didn’t warn you 
You’re poking at my fangirl heart here dude.
Keepin’ it stylish!
I mean, either him or an independant video game charecter.
I don’t feel we needed another ff charecter in smash, specially not that one, from the same game no less.
I think a certain jester would have been better for the FF villain pick;
And if you want to play games without a statement, go ahead. Those exist. However, some games do have a statement and that shouldn’t be restricted because some people can’t handle politics in their video games (which of course, nine tens for ten really means they just don’t agree with the politics appearing in the video games.)
There will always be games without a statement just like there’s movies that don’t make a statement, there will always be Michael Bay movies just like there’s A Clockwork Orange and Apocalypse Now.
ya know, back in the hay-day there was games with statements… and they where bad games.
/rolls film of all the religious nes games.
Nier makes a statement, just not a political one 
This is usually the only time people realize there is a political statement in the video game to be fair, otherwise people don’t really consider it “political” for the most part lol.
Well that I don’t disagree with.
We’re in the hey-day now. Are you kidding? Who would pick Snake over the games we have now? Games are getting better and better.
All statements are political, but that’s okay too. Not all statements are overtly political, but some are and they shouldn’t be restricted because some people don’t want to put on their big boy pants and accept that some people do want to make political statements.
To me it shows deep insecurity with one’s convictions to be afraid of being exposed to beliefs and views they don’t necessarily hold themselves.
Either things should be free to have politics or they shouldn’t. Pick a lane.
I dunno bout that.
