First, rightwing ideologies have been overrepresented and dominant throughout the history of video games. Although affected by context, video games have long focused on the expulsion of “aliens” (Space Invaders to XCOM), fear of impure infection (Half-Life to The Last of Us), border control (Missile Commander to Plants vs Zombies), territory acquisition (Command & Conquer to Splatoon), empire building (Civilization to Tropico), princess recovery (Mario to Zelda), and restoration of natural harmony (Sonic to FarmVille).

Thank you, Anita Sarkesian. We wouldn’t exist without you.

And yet they overlook hate-filled, sexist, violent racist genocide rap music.

Because their democrat constituents listen to that hate crap.

Liberalism really, really is a mental disorder.

It is an interesting thesis. I suspect it has a certain merit.

Television and movies are watched passively. They teach people to be observers, not participants. Television has coincided with the rise of the left in the West.

But digital media is not passive, it is active, rather like freerepublic. Gamers are not passive recipients of messages, but active participants in the game.

That is exactly the opposite of what TV taught.

Thanks to the tireless dissing of the left by President Trump we’re all living rent free in their heads. They really think we’re all demon scum from hell!

Wow the author could not be more wrong.

Anyone that has ever spent even a modicum of time visiting online gaming message boards will see the left/right split is at best 30/70 or 20/80 in favor of leftist ideologies.

They may see right wing boogie men everywhere but gamers are sure not right wing.

Lord of the Rings, and similar on line role-playing games emulate aspects of the Middle Ages.

This certainly must be leading young men towards becoming neo-reactionary medievalists!

I really want to play Grand Theft Tranny 5.

The alt-right spin is just liberal vindictiveness. They just want pussy-hat games and LGBTYQYZ indoctrination. I do believe all the violence is creating sociopaths. Just my opinion.

Would Sonic be a Luddite in the mold of Pol Pot? He wants to destroy all machinery, hoard all wealth for himself and turn the world into a place where all of society must live in the wild without any modern conveniences.

And billiards is a racist game because you use white ball to knock the colored balls off the table.

These clowns see racism everwhere.

Leftist thugs have been working hard for years to control video games for propaganda

Far-right ? Does not compute.

I thought it was Russians. Maybe it’s Russian video gameskis!

Video games have nothing to do with it. The young true conservatives (Southern, Pettibone, all) simply don’t want to be like most members of previous generations, especially my generation: Baby Boomers (but also most Gen-X-ers).

They rightfully want to rid our planet of unhealthy social and political policies and laws to allow the few more humanly intelligent members of their generation to survive. Enough waves of them have received the needed legacy of knowledge and insights to ease their transition before we go.

They were already defining some of the more obvious problems anyway. Human beings with the healthiest attributes tend to naturally resume healthy practices and to lead others, when necessity reaches a certain extent of urgency.
