While I have no doubt this game will be as blatantly anti-American and/or anti-southern as you can get, there's part of me that nurses the hope the game's about an American liberating his state from Antifa by any means necessary. After all, unlike said fascist thugs, I prefer to take out any anger I may have on one and zeroes rather than innocent people.
Talks about how it's going to be anti south. Talks about how he hopes it's going to be about anti fascists (liberals?) so he can kill them. Because I guess the first isn't acceptable but the second is?
Both are acceptable because it's just media and unlike the social justice types, I don't freak out if someone disagrees with me or if there's a game that doesn't conform to my worldview. I personally find BioShock Infinite a generic shooter with a predictable, boring, P.C. story, but pointing that out isn't complaining. Neither is saying that the new Far Cry isn't going to be anything but the same anti-Christian/anti-southern crap we always see in media. I was just hoping that if we are going to get a game where the goal is to massacre fake people, it might be a bit interesting to for once have a little diversity in bad guys. And honestly, I thought the left is all about that.
Three things. One, there are plenty of games were you fight leftists. Bioshock Infinite comes to mind. Two, in Montana I think we know which end of the spectrum is in control and has guns, which are needed for Far Cry, and it's not left wingers. Three, I was mainly concerned with you actively wanting to kill American left wingers. I mean, I didn't download Bioshock thinking "time to kill some right wing scum." It's just a bit...extreme. IMHO.
Well, I hope you're just as worried about all the people in this thread getting all excited about killing religious conservatives. And while you may not have thought that booting up BioShock Infinite, I'm sure my friend Saelune was positively orgasmic, as he already is about this game.
None of them have talked about wanting to kill conservatives, just that it's interesting to see them as bad guys. Big effing difference.
Right, because in video games, you as the player gets to always talk down the bad guys and teach them the error of their ways non-violently. The "bad guys" are the people you as the player kill. Finding it interesting to see X group as the bad guys or to quote an above poster to feel catharsis from having said group as the bad guys implicitly means you're looking forward to killing them in a video game, which makes little effing difference.
I could also make the point that my desire to inflict harm on imaginary members of Antifa is different from left wingers because the majority of liberals are NOT rioting and beating the shit out on innocent people on a regularly basis - they just happen to hold views I don't agree with. A closer equivalent would be liberals looking forward to beating up the twenty or so slack-jawed morons of the Westboro Baptist Church, because the vast majority of people on the right (myself included) hate those assholes too. Between the two groups, you're much more likely to be hurt by some jack-booted, black-masked thug than some toothless bumpkin. And as much as I hate them, to my knowledge the WBC have not actually physically hurt anyone whereas Antifa leaves bloody people wherever they go.
