Because of that thing from 2014. You know the one.

Nazis were BTFO

fipbip

It's fine when game is a solid political or social commentary.
It's not fine when your marketing uses le #PunchANazi and #MakeAmericaNaziFreeAgain memes to promote itself.

What kind of games do you think Thom plays?

I don't think Thom likes fun.

Hotline Miami

It isn't, you're just used to Sup Forums's echo chamber

Guitar Hero and Mario Paint. Sometimes he watches FlyLo play Silent Hill 2.

All media is political now.

Well...lets start a company and make a game that doesn't conform to political correctness. What games have done this in the past?

females should never have been given any kind of voice in video games

>fun

Who gives a fuck about Nazis in a videogame? They're just cannonfodder

Hatred.
Dwarf Fortress.
Aurora.

>Why is everything about video game marketing so political now?
ftfy

Because the corporate higher ups will stop at nothing to increase their profit margin. If that means including political shit to raise awareness of the game, then so be it.

Corporate America will incite the next civil war if it means they can bankroll it. Capitalism, motherfucker.

Just fucking end my life.

What, you want examples of any videogame that didn't conform to political correctness?

I wish we could start over

How can I achieve this hairstyle?

Everything is political now.
It's all building up, and I assume soon it's all gonna explode. After which everything will be better or infinitely worse.

If I've learned one thing from Sup Forums: Everything is about politics. Everything is a fetish. No exceptions.

For a moment there

Because you play western games.

Everything has been made political now. Blame American politics.

because it's audience is almost all white men

it's one of the best ways to push propoganda

Be Thom Yorke. Seriously though, why does he rock the man bun so hard nowadays?

But by actively going against the status quo you are making a political statement, and would thus be a part of the problem.

Pretty much we're locked into this for another 4/8 years. Now FUCKING DRUMPF is in power everycunt and their nan is creating #woke media to fight the good fight.

Because now fisrt and second generation of players are now in their 30-40 yo

>Everything is a fetish. No exceptions.

You've learned well, my child.

I LOST MYYYYYYYYYYYSELF

why does thom look so depressed

All art is inherently political.

"Politics" is just the state of conscious being in a given time period. It's the mode of thought. And you can't create art without thinking.

He's losing his hair, once he cuts it it'll be gone forever. Gotta enjoy it while it lasts.

it's political only if you make it so.

This is why I only watch anime

probably games that are about elaborate moaning and whining over ring tone sounds for strange malnourished sad people

>It's fine when a game is political commentary
>It's not fine when it's political commentary that I disagree with

>It's not fine when your marketing uses le #PunchANazi and #MakeAmericaNaziFreeAgain memes to promote itself.
Yes it is, you butthurt Trumpbabby.

cuphead

>look
Video games aren't art

Indeed.

Why do I always see this random guy get posted? He looks so damn ugly. Like even worse than average 4channer ugly.

Elona

>he actively avoids media that may present an opposing view point
What, you 14 and/or gay?

>Video games aren't art
By what metric?

Hopefully this will get stale soon and people will start to get sick of having political shit shoehorned into games.

What the fuck is "Political" about punching nazis?

he's a perfect example of BEADY EYED ANGLO BLOOD

>Hopefully this will get stale soon and people will start to get sick of having political shit shoehorned into everything
Ftfy

He already said he only watches anime.

I feel this is the perfect thread for this

What is going on with me Sup Forums? I'm listening to edgy music, acting edgy and depressed, taking pills daily and just reading berserk alone in my room.

What is happening to me?

>You must be involved in politics otherwise you're gay
Amazing.

$5 says she'd like The Bends and In Rainbows.

She said something like she pretended to like Radiohead to suck dicks, she's the embodiment of the pretentious fake fan that ultimately is just an attention whore, one of the reasons Radiohead fans are so bad.

Mine : )

Just report and ignore these threads, you moron.

>thom fucking yorke
>'this random guy'

I can't hear you over the dicks in your mouth

Same user, I'm irritable and angry for no reason. I can no longer escape and just play a game. I get easily frustrated and ragequit.

>Dont make meme about thing you do in game
okay

I don't really feel like it is. But politics are in vogue right now, in a few years it'll go the other way and only losers will care about politics.

you're hitting puberty

I just want to talk about certain games without people bringing up politics. Almost every thread above 200 replies has some political shit in it with Sup Forumskiddies spamming Trump and Hillary memes. Just fuck off and let's talk.about video games.

Most video games aren't any more political than before, those just don't make the headlines.

Plus the effect is exaggerated by a lot by Sup Forums cancer making thinly-veiled political threads here 24/7 these days.

Because women got involved and ruined it for everyone

Idealists have gone full retard.
It's time to think out their lines by pitting them against each other.

>pretended to like Radiohead to suck dicks
Yeah mate because sluts totally need to work hard to get into a man's pants

Fucking Adults, ruining everything.

Oh yes, we totally started it and weren't reacting to it at all.

>Get Andromeda on my XBone for free eith the EA thingy, since it can't possibly be as bad as people said
>Literally one skin tone is white, and most complexions make it otherwise.
>Asari look like ass now
>Multiplayer has more of the faggy looking cat things than Turians, fucking TURIANS!
I'm a Democrat and even I'm getting sick of this shit. Should I even bother playing or just go and redownload the trilogy?

>Expecting a creative medium to be devoid of political commentary

Yes, you did start it. Feminists reacted. And you REEEEE'd.

Kingdom Come Deliverance, but that's not out yet. Beta is really promising though.

It's merely a symptom that Western Civilization is going collapse. Blame whoever you want, it's a natural part of life. Civs rise and fall and with the Wests fall comes the rise of the Chinese

not the guy you're responding to but that literally what she said
>"I don’t even like them, but the kind of guys that I like have to be three things: strange, malnourished, and sad. And those guys always like Radiohead! So I’ve been having to pretend to like Radiohead for years to get these men"

stereogum.com/1967495/fox-news-says-radiohead-fans-are-strange-malnourished-and-sad/video/

nothing is wrong with punching nazis. It's wrong when you imply someone's nazi if they don't punch nazis

>Should I even bother playing
No. And I couldn't give a single fuck about muh brown people, the gameplay is simply atrocious

Sounds like all these nazis, commies and feminists need to be executed.

I kinda got that from a multiplayer round. Had actually heard it was decent so I had hopes for the SP. Oh well.

no idea, I don't play western and AAA games

wrong

Sup Forums and Sup Forums have trained you to view everything in a political light, as an extension of some cultural Marxist conspiracy, as part of a culture war. Things that wouldn't have fazed you back in the day are now held up as a grave threat to your well-being and something you really ought to care about a lot. That's why games are political now. Because political was redefined.

Braid (various)
Marathon (Mac)
Goldeneye (N64)
Elite (BBC Micro)
Cave Story (various)
Ico (PS2)
Red Dead Redemption (PS3)
Zelda Ocarina of Time (N64)
Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii)
Half Life 1 and 2 (Mac, PS3)

Except the game is literally about killing Nazis who've taken over America. The marketing is totally fine, it's the people who are somehow offended by it that's the issue.

Nobody does that.

I draw pictures of my waifu and watch anime all day long to pretend like my life isn't horrible and ignore the collapse of the outside world. I enjoy getting into pointless arguments with people on Sup Forums because they rarely speak of real world bullshit.

whoever the fuck started it when they all used some situation as an excuse to dogpile some fucking feminist cunt and turn the whole industry into a fucking us vs them situation, literally turned her into a martyr for a "cause" and it worked in their benefit, now we're all reaping the consequences of the dumb little anti feminist circle jerk, they've never had such a big voice in the last 20 years on the internet and they fucking gave it to them

Yeah, but I can still tell you that your waifu is shit.
SHIT!

antifa does that. Sjw and feminists does similar things

...

The phrase "to suck dicks" doesn't work if she's actually looking for relationships though. I'm dangerously close to sounding like a whiteknight, but I'm just saying that you can't really compare her situation to a man's and casual sex is always easy to obtain for women.
"Pretending to like Radiohead to get men" might maybe have worked
Also, you made it sound like sucking dicks alone gives her sexual satisfaction

Because paranoid neckbeards freak out over seeing black people and women in video games, so devs are reaping easy virtue signal bux by banking on the guaranteed impotent rage of bigoted nerds.
And because Sup Forums gets triggered over seeing random black people, when devs do shit that's actually worth criticizing like making almost half the German soldiers in BF1 black, any of those criticisms get lumped in with the racist criticisms of other games.
tl;dr you played yourself, Sup Forums

>I draw pictures of my waifu
can you post them?

Cause when you see social issues as "politics" everyone becomes political

Don't try and make it one sided. Sup Forums and The_Donald screech just as much as them, albeit over things that are typically a bit less stupid.

>if you're conservative, you're a nazi
>if you're white, you're a nazi
>if you have short hair, you're a nazi
>if you wear khakis, you're a nazi
>if you support the president, you're a nazi
>if you have any pride in your country, you're a nazi
>if you're not this very specific brand of anarcho-left, you're a nazi
>if you disagree with me, you're a nazi
>if you don't want police to die, you're a nazi
>if you ain't with BLM, you're a nazi

Gee, it's almost like using Nazi to describe everyone you disagree with and advocating/commiting wanton violence against them is divisive or something. Imagine my shock.

See? This is what i'm talking about.
Just add Nazis to your game and make them use Trump supporters' slogans. If anyone will complain you can just say "LOLOLOL since when punching nazis is political you alt-righter?"
Unironically kill yourself.
