Something that never fails to put me into a quantum state between rage and laughter: when someone holds up FINAL FANTASY 7 as an example of a non-“woke” game that kept politics out of it
like
Ah yes, famously apolitical game... FINAL FANTASY 7
as in an empty case?
because... they can't have played it....
Tifa hot and have big booba therefore the game is not political
the game about joining a group of violent extremists fighting a corprofascist regime that's destroying the planet in the name of profits?
drags hands down face so hard their face peels off
Overbringer: that one
It’s not even like the game takes it time to get political
It literally dives face first into the moment you start the game
People claims FF7 isn’t political is one of the few takes in that vein that is wilder to me than people who think that Star Trek only recently got political
it's also a good sign that these people have absolutely no thoughts of their own and 0 media literacy
People are so fucking dumb.
but it's fake politics so obviously that means it's apolitical
lmao. as if ff7 isn't peak 90s "save the planet" messaging
This video remains evergreen:
Why Are Conservatives So Media Illiterate?
Why Are Conservatives So Media Illiterate?
It reminded me of conservatives who are fans of Rage Against the Machine which are perhaps the most baffling of all.
it's okay you can just say Paul Ryan
ahaha i just started the video and i see he is in fact called out by name
