As I've said before. I've found much more common ground with some :911: gun nut type from rural oklahoma than I could ever dream of finding with some rich upper class white liberal. This is coming from someone who wants Single payer healthcare, free college education, legalized marijuana, justice reform and wants no foreign intervention to speak of.

Serious question: are you a hetero white dude?

I ask because it's a lot easier to see parity in someone spitting on you and calling you a human being, and insincere cloying brand advertisements, when you either aren't a person or have never actually lived in a place where the former is likely to happen.

The thing that ~wakes~ a lot of rural kids, in the good or the annoying way, is legitimate abuse and hatred, and that doesn't fade when you turn 18 and run screaming from your hometown.

basicaly, he wants art poo poo. he wants everything to be like gone home(which is good game, but he and his friends just focus on the progressive message/story, instead of the environmental story telling or a puzzle game. they want to use games as soapbox and tool to get their message out. thats it. all art must serve a purpose, preferably their purpose.

Its called Cart Life and Papers Please. Actually good games (through will make you feel like poo poo at points) that actually use gameplay to fuel the narrative.

papers please is a problematic power fantasy because you have complete control over people's lives and whether or not they can see their family again according to his rules actually

this is more to point out how insane he is than disparage papers please, a good game

The only people whose lives would not be improved by deploying the ol' vaudeville hook on Twitter ranters would be smug lookie loos, ie, me. So I guess I'm glad I have absolutely no impact on policy.

lol what. yoko taro was always politically like that, he isn't a giant fan of stuff where you can kill a million people and still be a magical hero plus other tropes. so his games mess with stuff like that. i mean one of the heros in his game was a hermaphrodite. which is why i like him compared to say someone like radicalbytes or other "social critics" at least yoko taro actualy makes good games that have cool messages and make you depressed as gently caress about everything. but dipshits like jon and friends will never play it because panties/male gaze/their small dicks/violence/etc.

I still don't understand how Mensch somehow became a democrat neoliberal after her crowning glory was selling out the neoliberals in favour of the conservatives in England.

I just wish the lesbian call hadn't come while I was about to talk to a quest NPC and I had to wait until that e/n session was over to start the quest. Nier: Automata owns and what little I played already had a good amount of :roboluv: content.

I thought willingness to cave or sell out to the conservatives was a defining feature of the neolibs.
