Why would it be? At a glance nothing has even been reported in here.
Politics is not inherently a bad thing.
When people say they donāt want politics in games, they mean they donāt want real life politics in games. Whether or not you agree with the sentiment, thatās what theyāre saying. For most, video games are meant to be escapism from stuff like real-world political issues.
Sureā¦as long as people arenāt involved.
Heh.
You play a game with two warring factions lmao. Instead of you being able to escape minorities, they should be able to escape you.

ā¦What? I donāt understand your point
The point is that you claim to want to escape real life issues while playing a game with warring factions, which is inhrently political. The other point is that your dogwhistle of āescaping real life issuesā is banal, since all minorities are valid and should be able to escape from people like you.

thatās not true. people only say āno politicsā when it comes to LGBT and/or POC representation. every other type of politic is seemingly fine and no one cares about it.

Okay, maybe I should start from the basics.
The Horde and Alliance are not real. The people involved in the war in the game are not real people, nor do they reflect any real life conflict, thus they do not qualify as āreal life politicsā
And what ādogwhistleā? What minorities? Iām literally just explaining to you the perspective of 90% of normal people who play games to get away from real life stuff.
Thatās just selection bias, LGBT and POC representation are the āthingā for corporations right now, so itās the most obvious and overt case of ham-fisted politics (note you CAN draw parallels with real world politics without it being preachy or immersion-breaking, but it actually takes skill, something most western devs donāt have)
If they started making really obvious Ukraine-Russia parallels, people would get tired of that too, I guarantee.
Neither is any lgbt character by that logic. So adding more is fine.
Ditto
Literally any conflict between two nation states. You can also look at the irl inspirations for each race and create parallels there.
Your stated desire to escape real life issues.
Lgbt people.
Interesting. Lgbt and Poc are not ānormalā in your eyes. You also claim that the vast majority of cis white men play games specifically to escape real life issues like human rights.

I think youāre attributing to me an argument I wasnāt making. I donāt care if they add LGBT characters, I was against literally bringing real-life Western nation āPrideā into the game, with all the pride capitalism that corporations love along with that.
Flynn and Shaw are fine, Flynn and Shaw holding up a rainbow-painted Nike shoe saying āJust do itā, would not be fine.

nope. literally no other type of āpoliticā is complained about except LGBT, POC, and women representation. itās a dogwhistle thatās not about politics at all but about keeping different types of people out of your spaces. itās 2023, weāve all caught onto this by now.
its literally a game about warring conflict. what do you think ukraine and russia is?
