who is “they”?

*people who only watch CNN and consume no other form of media

wow you're like really right. you can simply not play those games if you don't like things like that in your games. there are millions of games out there babes.....if you don't like the ones coming out then it seems you lay outside of the current Overton Window and that's not the fault of the developers of mainstream games.   

id also like to point out though that a quite a few of the examples you mentioned are reaching a bit and using what far leftists are complaining about or far rightists are complaining about...because i lean left and i play tf out of animal crossing lol. i play gta games. i play call of duty games. "leftist media" saying those games are cause grooming, violence, toxic masculinity, ect....are the equivalent to the "right media" who say that drag queens are grooming children to be gay....they aren't media sources that actual rational people listen to lol. and by the sound of it you are kinda looking to find political things about games.

ive played far cry 6 (and while i didn't like the game) my brain didn't even question those references because they made sense for the plot (since you're ya know....revolutionizing a country and overthrowing a dictator basically). i don't consider even those references to be political either. its literally just history lol. also played numerous fallout games (loved those for the most part). never once felt like i was being radicalized to be anti-nuclear energy....because that's not the point of the game lol. i just ran around and survived after a nuke dropped, queen.

also though, gta 6 being pressured to put Latino women in the game isn't actually putting the politics in the game you're physically going to be playing...it put Latino women into the game. 

my original point still stands though. dont play those games if there are politics in them or surrounding them you don't like. there are millions of games....but maybe you'll just have to pull up your bootstraps and make your own non-political games if you cant find them on your own...or go back to pong lolol

i will say though that there is politics in everything. its up to you though if you want to actively seek it out.  i sure as hell don't because i play games to have fun...not be upset that i owe a debt of 4million bells to Tom Nook.

dude what lmao. its quite literally the easiest thing to do. what are some of these political games you cant avoid

then dont play political games
