Because vidya was one of the last bastions free from their corruption.

Their disdain for gamers kept them at bay for the longest time, as they used to think we were beneath them.

Then they corrupted the other nerd markets (like comics) and we were next on the chopping block.

Critical Theory is a cancer.

It's not, that pic is false.
Modern idealists are all filthy scum that pathetic ideologies, ideologies that they have no way to push by telling the complete truth.
Fortunately, they are also the kind of people that nobody would miss if they all died, which would be something great.

Good riddance.

Everything is political. Culture is inherently political. Way too many STEM majors on 4chan/reddit who don't get that.

That's not how it works. Eerything that is created reflects a value choice that is based on the creator's morals and beliefs. You can't escape it.

There you go.
The bush being green = stigma against dyed hair in current politics
Bush = Bush Jr., and how he kept us from reaching our goals (represented by the green bush being the furthest away from the sky)
>>
>>378745371
Choice of art style, type of narrative structure, gender roles within said structure, how gameplay works, all reflects some form of values.
>>
>>378745464
Of course you can't escape it if you are a talentless hack with no imagination, sadly the videogame industry produces nothing but this drivel.

I miss 2011-era /v/ when no one here really cared about politics, apart from being worried about SOPA.

>>378745834
I miss the internet in general having no politics. Pre 2012 internet was great.
>>
>>378745779
Only talentless hacks are incapable of creating stuff not related to politics.

>>378745924
Wasn't it that Tropes vs Women thing that started the identity politics obsession on /v/? I remember early 2012 being alright.
>>
>>378745936
So it has no relevance to what I posted. Gotcha.

It's not intentional choice. Every subjective decision (and even objective ones) has a political perspective attached.

apoliticism is an implicit endorsement of status quo

Yes, but you have to understand the internet at large back then was changing. Politics were already seeping into everything, once the great SJW age started it was already too late and then it would be impossible to stop politics on sites like this.

What people here don't get is things like GaberGabe are inevitable. Even lets say /new/,/pol/,GG,/Hackings,Fappenings,etc didn't happen. Politics would STILL seep onto 4chan simply because the internet at large was politicized so in turn, the users themselves do too. And once the users get eaten up by politics it wouldn't be long before you see ''fuck white people'' or ''MAGA'' posts everywhere.
>>
>>378746130
Oh no, the status quo, better get ready for my two minutes hate of the way things are
>>
>>378746392
4chan will always survive, though. Not unchanged, but it'll always exist as a mish-mash of anonymous weirdos that do a better job of reflecting the state of the internet than anyone else.
>>
>>378746130
Nobody gives a shit, this is a videogames board.
People here never cared about the world, or the politics, and when something bad happened to someone, no matter who, we laughed.
>>
>>378746392
Everything is getting politicized now.
Let's hope a GRB hits this planet soon.

>>378745464
Objectivity is a thing
Entertainment media at least should be free from politics. Children consume them, which are easily influenced, for example. And you shouldn't be using something whose goal is being simply enjoyable to further your goals

People need purpose, western civilization has run out of things to do, so they cling to the first thing they find in order to feel like their lives mean something.
In their case, they cling to politics, to the left, in this case.
This also causes them to believe politicians unironically back their beliefs.

I see
People have progressed to the point where they have run out of problems (more or less), so they make new ones up to fight back the boredom
Something like that?
>>
>>378747406
Yes.
Up until now, humanity has always thrived by conflict, there was always some danger, something to do.
Now you can live your entire life without doing anything at all, and people feel like they have no purpose, that all they have is their job.
Making money to buy food, water and a house.

Now the closest thing to a danger we have are a bunch of terrorists armed with poorly made bombs and rusty, 50 year old AK-47s.
Which, if we truly wanted, we could destroy them in the matter of weeks, but the US military won't get funding for their ultra-advanced military planes if they don't have someone to use those planes against.
We could focus in space, but the only ones with motivation are billionaires like Elon Musk, who want to make a business out of spaceflight, but even then, progress is quite slow, and NASA only gets pocket change since there's no Cold War, so no need to show off. They put a man on a dead rock relatively close to us for a few hours, built a clunkily made space station, and called it a day.

And for videogames to make a statement like that, they would need to be capable of having good writing, which they don't.
