Escapism and Historical Accuracy are the most annoying
dogwhistles“video games are so i can escape from trans people!” -gamer who has never met a single trans person
the dev team was probably 40% trans women tho
video games are so i can escape from trans people!" -gamer who has never met a single trans person
-gamer who thinks they have never met a single trans person because they can “always tell.”
:steamfront:
Customer base has a lot of trans people
Developers recognize that and throw in an easter egg.
“YO WTF how can this be happening? I DEMAND THE ARTISTS PRAISE MY BELOVED HITLER!”

I can’t support trans rights because the transes killed 30 million people.
Oh wait that was the nazis.
All of them get the gulag.
as always, the gulag is for those who can be saved. they’ll get the pit and they’ll like it
Oh would you look at that, this gulag is actually just a pit! This is the problem with bureaucracy…
Shove AAAAAAAAAAAYOUGUYSARETHEREALNAZIIIIIIS!!!
You can’t just not follow through on the order without a mountain of paperwork, and filling a notice that this is a pit and not a gulag will take the better part of a year to go through the correct channels!
thud
I hear you comrade, it feels like the gamer rehabilitation agency doesn’t care sometimes.
quit job as gulag supervisor to become pit supervisor
first day on the job, go down to the pit
it’s a gulag

Trans Fortress 2
damn theyre getting dragged in the comments too
damn that’s crazy, anyways, any of my trans and NB comrades want to hop into tf2 and legally convert everyone into a femboy?
I want to illegally convert everyone into a femboy.
too late! 
but I already went through twink death 10 years ago. 
if you could magically turn back time pls.Dang, I had the spironolactone ready and everything :/
increasingly uninterested in the rancid and infantile political opinions of this breed of people who have no friends in real life, no curiosity about the world, and no prospects for any sort of self actualization. let them perish in their misery.

The whole argument that video games must be complete escapism has been twisting my brain in knots.
Like there’s a lot there to be analyzed. The need for “escapism” over just playing a game because its fun is a scary turn.
These dorks are annoying, yes, but holy shit are they okay? Like there’s so many threads I want to tug on but I’m afraid to. Like why do they need to escape? Why can escapism only be right wing? Where does this start, when they’re kids or when they’re older and disaffected? where in the video game culture is this idea presented and supported?
Even the basis that “games are escapism”, means one is playing games in a way someone does drugs. A comfort, an escape, the inability to address issues in ones own life.
I’m not remotely qualified to analyze any of this but it just feels really dark and foreboding overall.
They probably consider Call of fucking Duty to be neutral and not ideology
The played fallout 4 and thought liberty prime was a cool robot that made some good points.
That’s 3
also 4 unfortunately.
They did it twice? Jesus
yeah fallout 4 has many, many unfortunate story decisions. so much “remember how cool the blah blah was???!?”
This line of thinking is way too prevalent. Things are only good and neutral when there is no ideology, beliefs, or politics and yet at the very same time, the existence or even reference to a trans person, or a poc is politics.
Literally half of all players on TF2 are LGBT. I’ve been playing TF2 about 20 hours in the last 2 weeks and I have YET to see a non-trans medic.
They all have Mediguns labeled “Estrogen Dispenser” or other such trans references.
Hmm when I played tf2 I mained medic
I just like helping people
I did too but only because the Crusader’s Crossbow can destroy cocky snipers in long range and most classes at medium.

i know its preaching to the choir here but the trans = nazis shit is especially insane considering the institute that developed a proto-gender dysphoria diagnosis and treatment was destroyed by the fucking nazis!!!
And after the war, unlike many other victims of the Nazis, the west German regime refused to award them compensation, effectively legalising the repression.
*keeping legalized.
It’s not like the nazi regime was an illegitimate government.

Oh yes, the thing were they would liberate a concentration camp and day “no, not you” to the homosexual victims. I love western values.
