I really want to play Grand Theft Tranny 5.
Of the games I can remember ...
S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is one of the best first person shooters ever. Made from a Russian perspective, you find yourself battling NATO troops. Doesn’t sound too right-wing, does it?
One of the most popular games ever, Skyrim, allows you to fight against the empire or fight with the empire, your choice. That’s hardly right wing.
The Fallout series feature survival in a nuclear wasteland. Is survival only a right wing thing?
Another popular title is Bioshock, where George Washington is featured as a bigoted, loony right winger. This doesn’t do much for the author’s narrative.
We may have to go meta, outside individual games to make any sense of the article’s conclusion. Action games feature fighting against various forces and oppressors. Compared to the leftist belief that all cultures, forces, and oppressors are equal, fighting successfully rewards white male supremacy, the only group incapable of being oppressed, the meme goes. The left would shout kumbaya as the mutant wolves eat the player and end the game.
Maybe video games look right wing because to win the game, the player has to do something, and that’s incompatible with being a ward of the state.
