I love games like norco, night in the woods and kentucky route zero but leftist/materialist “readings” of most stories suck because they never go further than “capitalism…is bad?” and “cooperation……is good???”

Endorph posted:this post refers to people's opinions on a game that came out a month before the post as 'revisionist history' peep the one before it lol NieR Occomata posted:Ragnarok is easily the most political game of this year, and it’s insane that a triple A game made by Sony of all companies can go fuckin so hard against lovely appeasement neoliberalism as political ideology and outright state that state-sponsored capitalism is simply another form of violence enacted on the people. Like it genuinely blew my loving mind that a video game about a bald angry man with a head on his belt could have more prescient and strident political worldviews than like 95% of the Democratic Party

Oxxidation posted:people attach the most overwrought readings to some of the most basic mass-market content imaginable The Barbie movie has a very silly joke making fun of Zack Snyder fans (I haven't watched it but from what I understand a barbie who got hypnotized by a bunch of kens upon being woken up said "I was so invested in ensuring the Snyder cut is released!") and the cd Snyderdome had been very normal about it Milkfred E. Moore posted:Yeah, I'm surprised this thread is acting like it's funny, honestly. I don't think it's a good thing for media to be equating the Snyder Cut to that incel movement and I don't think it being a dumb joke does anything to help it. See also The Bear, which had a character angrily decry "Incel, QAnon, 4chan, Snyder Cut motherfuckers." Sure, there's no point in getting mad about it because it's not going to change anything, but given the terrible level of 'discourse' around Snyder's work, the strength of the female characters in his works, and the fact that the drama that led to the Snyder Cut ultimately stemmed from his daughter's suicide, I think any joke of this calibre about it is in poor taste. Especially when the creatives are giving these 'tee hee, we're going to get so much flak'-level interviews about "calling out" the Snyder Cut fans. It turned me off from ever seeing the Barbie film, to be honest.

The most surprising thing is these aren't coming from the very funny Media Literacy thread in D&D mass media stuff can have themes and even well executed ones but you have to approach it from the perspective of the constraints its working within rather than being its prophet here to spread the words of god of war ragnarok to the masses but people are desperate for respect so god of war ragnarok cant just have a couple parallels to modern day politics it has to have the power to kill joe biden instantly Endorph fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jul 24, 2023 |

Coincidentally I also remember being extremely miserable during that same time period and being unable to have coherent thoughts about media I consumed. Posting about politics on the internet rots your brain.

I'm very slowly working through G Gundam on the recommendation of a friend but I've been told that's very different from Gundam's usual fare.
