The very conservative P4G, where a bisexual man is tormented by his own latent toxic masculinity, a woman dresses as a man specifically to avoid sexism, capitalism is evil, and the killer is an angry incel who hates women, and who only became a cop because he wanted to carry a gun and hurt people.

lol the 'bisexual' is portrayed as just going through 'a thing' where he wants to do feminine things but he's totally not gay

Ocarina of Time is conservative? I guarantee you some CHUD would have a meltdown over Sheik today.

OoT is a basic "brave knight saves the helpless princess" story. Also, the bad guy is middle eastern and the plot is kicked off when the foolish trusting king allows the evil duplicitous middle eastern villain to enter his white person kingdom and doesn't just kick him to the curb.

Conservatives prefer stories where good and evil are very clearly delineated (we're good, they're evil, it's okay to just machine gun all of them without thinking about it), no introspection is ever needed or performed, and it ends with the good using violence to kill the evil.

Sheik turning back into Zelda and immediately getting kidnapped and being a glorified paperweight/dooropener for the rest of the game was the subject of countless jokes and video game webcomic punchlines, it was seen as rather old fashioned even at the time.

My problem, and I know that this is an old person perspective, is that the ideal number of gimmick wrestling matches is zero, or near zero. On a scale of New Japan to WCW, AEW is a helluva lot more WCW and 'put an object on top of a pole' than New Japan's 'three guys wrestle sometimes, maybe there's a once a decade Lumberjack match'. They're not required to do any dumb gimmicks like WCW did, but instead we get stuff like a Cracker Barrel-branded match or fighting someone into a goddamn dentist chair.

Unfortunately P4 is about how you while you should be yourself it is actually way more important to conform to society's expectations. I have to assume that the lead creatives during development must have had different ideas for the plot because the "message" contradicts itself constantly.

I think it's a little unfair to be ragging on the pandemic era for having silly gimmick matches, and like I said, WWE was also doing incredibly silly gimmick matches around the same time (some were good – like the Firefly Funhouse match; some were complete dogshit, like the Eye for an Eye match, the Wyatt swamp fight, or the Zombiejack match). Also, to be fair, both companies have been rowing back from the sillier stipulations now fans are allowed back in.

Oh you're completely correct, the problem is that it's a 'sports entertainment' problem. AEW was founded on the promise that you were gonna see wrestling, the sort of thing Vince McMahon wouldn't prioritize any more, but the instant they started to pick up any steam, they immediately went to the Sports Entertainment model. They try hard to ride the line between both models -- you can watch a Bryan Danielson match and see actual wrasslin or a Bucks match and watch Sports Entertainment -- but you can't be the giant-killer anthesis to WWE while also doing all the same dumb poo poo they do, otherwise you're just a slightly different version of the already-existing thing. And that's the problem, going back to my original thoughts on AEW -- you're not going to beat WWE by being a knock-off version of WWE, you're only going to beat it by putting on a better program (which means not doing dumb poo poo on the weekly, tossing up a million false finishes, or letting dudes get color every other show).

e: Also, lol Jonathan Blow, a dude so fragile and thin-skinned he couldn't survive in an industry specifically tailored to thin-skinned white dudes.

Rimworld had a bunch of misogyny and bioessentialism in its mechanics that were discovered really early, and to the best of my knowledge I don't think the developer ever removed them or apologized. It's pretty easy to find the red flags being raised, but then everyone just sorta stopped caring before anything actually happened.

All that is to say yeah, absolutely, if any game in that little genre's actually conservative it's totally Rimworld.
