The headline is designed to make us snap back and drive engagement, but once you read the article, it’s honest real good and well argued. I’m personally also tired of all the “good and bad are exactly a hair away from each other actually, you ignorant chimpanzee” moralizing... https://twitter.com/polygon/status/1290338042822242304

Especially in a world rapidly sinking into violent fascism while all ruling parties insist we remain civil as we get stripped of our rights. Centrist apologists love to hide in the “morally gray”. Fuck that. I don’t need to sympathize with every sad white boy whomst shoot gun.

And if the only way games can justify perpetuating their history of racist narratives and misogyny is by excusing their protagonists as “complex and morally gray” then maybe we need stories about people who don’t fucking suck ass, or at least a choice in how we get to experience

the game. I mean as the article mentions: Undertale managed it. It would take AAA to not be directly tied to the military-industrial complex, I suppose, but I can fucking dream, can’t I?

Heads up: muting this thread now, please read the article and make your own thread if you so wish
