Famously conservative video games Bioshock and Metal Gear Rising.

    I would say a third of those games make sense.

    Anything WW2, Shooters, and anything 40K related would be my assumptions. I would also throw in Madden. Top of the chud pile would be Call of Duty.

    Oddly enough BioShock still has Ayn Rand fans despite the story. Naturally they can’t understand that it is a deconstruction of Ayn Rand. They also say the only reason Rapture failed was because Ryan abandoned his ideals…

    hypersus HE DID BECAUSE HE FUCKING HAD TO BECAUSE HE WAS LOSING UNDER HIS IDEALS. That is the entire point of that story. It’s a self contradicting society.

      anything 40K related

      Actually quite funny that they chose Space Marine because one of the universally hated characters in that is your rigidly doctrinaire squad member who refuses to deviate from the words of a 10,000 year old text even when they don’t make sense in the current situation.

        Sounds pretty conservative to me. They probably hate that character because they are an obstacle to their own goals, but otherwise they agree with that characters philosophy because they do the same thing regarding real world politics.

            It’s like with them and the Taliban — if it weren’t that they use a different thousand-year-old text, they’d probably be best buddies

              There’s a really concerning trend where the far right in the west is cosying up to what could be approximated as Islamic fascism (e.g. ISIS etc.)

        They also have Darktide on there which, as much as I’m loving the game, is basically what this graphic is looking for.

        You are essentially a penal battalion attached to an inquisitor’s warband purging heretics like zombies from Left4Dead

      I only vaguely remember but Bioshock 2 was kind of trying to both sides by making the antagonist a collectivist or something. Then Bioshock Infinite was both sidesing racism.
