I find it hard to believe that your family could starve to death just from some mistakes but I might be in the “too positively biased against AES” stage of my radicalization journey

Reading these comments is hilarious.
If any of you took two minutes to go to Wikipedia and actually read about the games design you wouldn’t need to make all of these assumptions.

Propaganda? Lmao It’s a little indie video game made by a guy in his spare time. If this is twisting all your panties in such knots I’m really afraid for you if you ever learn about the real world.

Sounds like you’re the one who’s flabbergasted some people actually analyse the media they consume.

Nothing is made without intent, and that includes “subconscious” intent such as repeating propaganda you have internalised, whether you realise it or not.

If this is too difficult for you I’m afraid for you if you ever learn about the real world.

Analysis of what you consume is great. Except when you don’t actually analyze anything and instead just go full on rage without even understanding the product.

Not one person here even bothered to look into what the intent of the author actually was. That’s my point.

You all are obviously fine being angry ignorant circle jerkers. That’s your choice.

You heard it comrades? Just make little pieces media on your spare time and no one can ever accuse you of making communist propaganda! How convenient!

He crafted the fictional nation of Arstotzka, fashioned as a totalitarian, 1982 Eastern Bloc state, with the player guided to uphold the glory of this country by rigorously checking passports and defeating those that might infiltrate it.

What was it that you wanted to show us from Wikipedia? Actually forgot it. We don’t need to know.

Glad you actually made an effort, as predictably cherry picked as it was. That’s all I was asking for.

Honestly it has gotten to the point where if anyone mentions “glory” or “gloriousness” in context to socialism, socialist leaders or socialist states, I write it off as anticommunist jibber jabber.

“Apoliticals” when people analyze a game and find political meanings behind it rather than mindlessly consuming it without any thought:

Did you even read the wiki or you just wanted to reply with anger for no reason?

Well, thank you for demonstrating how intelligent you are by completely missing the point.

As one person who also makes things on my own, it is a big relief to know that everything I will ever make will be completely apolitical. As a individual person is apparently incapable of bias. Or…maybe not? I’m not really working in my spare time, maybe that’s the key to being non-political?
