@bex_and_kasey: Replying to @thereal_dharman.711If rules, power, and consequence exist, it’s political. Games teach power, even when they don’t mean to. #foryoupage
everything is political literally everything. the world builds of fantasy games? political. hero fighting bad guys? political. call of duty? literally politics. the only games that aren't are so basic there's no story or reason to like the character you're playing as. so games like Tetris and maybe sport. I find the people who try to argue against that point always has to move the goal post simply because they're wrong from the beginning. everything is created with the current politics, culture, and wars as inspiration. you can quite literally break down a game to it's ideas to it's inspirations and it's going to always be political.

Also, has there not been conversations about the antisemitism in using the word golem for any of the constructs other than the iron golem. The beliefs people hold while making games impact a games political identity

Pointing out what's there isn't forcing beliefs on someone just because they don't see it or want to see it. And yes, everything is political. All choices made are informed by underlying structures.
