      this literally has nothing to do with the game itself. it’s about behavior towards other people, which is intently political.

      also video games are art which makes them political as well.

      the fact that you kneejerked into this reaction feels super insecure and reactionary.

        More like I’m just sick of people hijacking my favorite art form to express political/social issues or sexual fetishes, both of which are becoming too common. It’s exactly why I’ve grown more and more in favor of retro gaming, back when neither of those expressions were anything but a fringe group of miserable individuals and weirdos that most gamers ignored. Not going to argue further, I’ve spoken my piece.
