    “disco elysium doesn’t make fun of you for any political ideology you may align with”

    what? the game makes fun of you entirely for any political decision you make regardless of ideology. if you go neolib, communist, or fascist the game makes fun of you.

    “the writers think politics are stupid”

    they are literally communists? i don’t get this take at all. what am i missing? i feel like the exact opposite of this take it true

      It’s a bit awkwardly worded, but the OP is saying that the game makes fun of you regardless of what ideology you choose because Harry, the character, is fundamentally unserious about whatever it is because of who he is.

        i see i just read the rest of the thread and it seems to be a response to “it makes fun of you for everything. therefore it is centrist”

        i was missing this context, and also the context about it relating to Harry specifically
