@stryker1121: or maybe the toxic levels of intolerance to certain viewpoints in gaming communities doesn’t leave room for anything else.
Also they ARE video games, not trying to even address the points that “intellectuals” want to attach to them most of the time, so there’s that.
The same group posting this will argue that you should punch any “Nazi alt-right” you see while somehow using an allegory to the same damn world power they condemn to represent the victims of the white man or whatever.
Wolfenstein is at least intended to touch on subjects like race, but even that is couched in history and fake history at that.
I’d love to have a conversation, but the childish hard left bend of this community makes that hard.
This is a place where you can post asking what kinds of guns fellow dudes own and it gets locked in a matter of hours because 80% of comments are “how dare you excercise your rights.”
When half or more of the reason for these kinds of “controversies” is to try and make anyone right of Maddow or whiter than Jackson out to be “part of the problem” or just villainized, it’s hard to take it seriously. Even less so on a video game site known for it’s content being “dumb” even for a video game site.
It’s okay to not want to talk about that kind of stuff here. It isn’t childish, and in fact some would argue it’s less childish than many of the arguments put forward on social and political issues. Probably not many round these parts, but I’m sure I’m not the only one.
It’s also okay to have different opinions. That’s not necessarily angled towards you, but seeing as you want to comment on people shying away from political discourse, part of the reason for me is that there is no desire for discourse, only an echo chamber.
