Video Games Need MORE Ideological Propaganda
Aug. 6, 2024 [politics] [technology] [gaming]There has been so much online outrage over the historically recent shoehorning of ideolgical agendas into video games. The industry and the forces which fund them have been hard at work making gaming more palatable for the Inclusive™ crowd. “It just isn’t for you” they quip. And I fail to see how this is even a bad thing.
Those who seek to erect safe spaces at your expense are actively taking up a passtime that is precision engineered to maximally distract and pacify its users. Your ideological aggressors are going to hurt themselves in confusion and you want to prevent it? I say let ’em have it!
Oh, you'd like to have a turn at gaming, would you?
Two possible benefical outcomes:
-
Dissuade perceptive free thinkers away from wasting their life energy on video games.
-
Attract radicalized ideologues into the trap of gaming.
Who knows? As they become increasingly pacified playing their coopted games, we may notice a detectible decline in the amount of REEing both online and offline. We should actually be encouraging those who seek to shove their ideologies down our collective throats to explore this “wonderful” medium.
In fact, games don’t have enough progressive pandering. The games industry really needs to get to work packing games chock-full with genderbread men and narratives about fighting the racist patriarchy, overflowing from the brim with dialogues about oppression, mental pathologies and social pecking orders.
And if you’re anything like the PNGtubers and bloggers still caught up with “They’re ruining muh video games!”, this is a really great time to consider putting gaming behind you.
Never interfere with an enemy while they’re in the process of destroying themselves.
