    Mate, what’s wrong about enjoying a puzzle game for instance? Games don’t necessarily need a meaning if the mechanics are fun. Art can have meaning, without being political. As long as something invokes emotions, it has meaning. I just don’t like how you said, that one is inherently racist when they don’t want politics in games.

    I do enjoy games with fictional or even historical politics by the way, but sometimes it’s just nice to simply play a sports game. Real world politics are so heated at the moment, I really can’t deal with anything too close to reality. Nazis are on the rise again and it’s just so depressing. Some people are simply exhausted. Not fucking racists.

      Oh, you don’t like the real world? That’s a political ideology, it’s called soulism. Look it up, it might appeal to you, since it sounds like you’re already a soulist.

        Be that as it may, it’s possible for entertainment to be void of politics. You’re coming up with philosophies, not politics.

          No it’s not. Games are either realist or irrealist. Both are political. I’ve never seen a game that was neither.
