    The entire side-taking on this shit is one giant circle jerk (and not even in a good way) and distraction from the increasing and very much equal-opportunity fucking (again, not even in a good way) of everybody who didn’t pop-out of the vagina of somebody who is rich.

    What exactly is the problem with making and enjoying games without trying to reduce all its dimensions to a single-dimensional Identitarian Politics interpretation?

    I feel like somebody on the sidelines watching two groups of fans of two different soccer teams beating each other senseless because they disagree on a decision by the referee.

      There’s no “both sides” about this. The entire woke bs is a fabrication of right wingers.

      Why can’t games just have no politics in them, like my favorite apolitical bideo game franchise Fallout?

        The entirety of human experience and human condition does not fit into 2 “sides”, not even close, so it’s quite the acephalic approach to look at everything through the prism of a very specific one-dimensional line with only 2 sides.

        Absolutelly, have Principles, follow those Principles and then judge things according to those Principles when they do apply.

        Reducing everything of importance to “sides”, on the other hand, is not being principled, it’s being mindlessly tribalist.

          It is funny that you assume you are the only one with “Principles”, and then strawmanning the shit out of the opinions of everyone else.

            You just stated something about what’s going on in my mind, which I did not state (i.e. I did not state that “I’m the only one with principles”, not even close, and actually implied they do but go for tribalistic side-taking instead), and then you argued against that very own imaginary position you claimed I had, using an “argument” involving strawmen.

            I hope you can spot the irony if you think about it enough.
