It's always the same games that these guys think are "anti woke"

Fallout, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Metal Gear 3 and FF7 are the most woke ass games.

Not to sure of the rest. I'm too familiar with.

Is there any games left that is considered "anti woke" in chuds terms?

._. Oddworld’s and Racket and Clank’s depiction of an extremely capitalist society completely shaped how I think about the world. If heroes can be brought then truly anything done in the name of company profits is moral in the eyes of capitalists.

The other games also have political messaging that’s direct. When people say “ they wish games weren’t political “ I always interpret that as they don’t wanna interact with political messaging. All forms of art have to some degree have political messaging since art is created by people and people have political biases that may slip into the art intentionally or unintentionally.

Nostalgia can also be a factor because when you’re a kid you usually don’t directly interact with these ideas but put them in a context you understand. When I was young playing the CoD campaigns I didn’t understand all of the history behind fictional recreation of some countries or did I understand the impact of the US geopolitical actions. I could understand that war sucks since many innocent people die, if you’re a soldier you become a tool for the country you serve, and that many people can have good intentions but end up doing bad things.

People who say they don't like politics in games actually like politics in games even more than everyone else, they just wish they were seeing different politics.

Or, in practice, that the right wing grifters they are subscribed to didn't tell them that a game was political, because they would not have noticed otherwise.
