This here gamer is spitting the truth! One time, I played this game where the very first cutscene had PRONOUNS in it. It used them to describe the protagonist and ~~his~~ the protagonist's relationship to the plot of the game. Nowadays, I can't even enjoy gaming without having to subject myself to crazy current-day wokeness. Disgusting!

metal gear games sexualise and objectify women which is why g*mers think they are non-political

Tbh, they do the same thing with men too. You literally play as naked Raiden near the end of MGS 2.

not to mention the intro to MGSV where you get a nice up close view of a certain character's :buttbutt through his hospital gown. or even post-MGS, in death stranding, we are treated to a frankly gratuitous amount of norman reedus shower scenes. or even in MGS4, snake's artificial muscle suit's ass is almost always prominently displayed on screen, expecially since you will probably be crouch-walking a lot.

I don't think it's comparable in terms of magnitude and effect. Unless in their next stealth action game they have a male character that wears nothing but a cock sleeve throughout because he respires through exposed skin that you can press R1 to peek at during cutscenes I will say they have historically leant towards objectifying women way more .

politics is when black protagonist or when trans characters exist.

seriously, did these people just skip all the cutscenes? i know theres a lot but like 80% of my playtime in MGS4 was watching movies about how the military industrial complex took over the world and ensures continual low level warfare to maximize weapons sales...

I sentence flowrepins6663 to the microwave tunnel

For non-political reasons of course

Nothing political about making out with your homie who's fake-possessed by the arm of your dead cloned brother.

Leave it to westerners to demand a right to not think, to not be offended. But then tell you to just put up with constant death threats for not being white in silence.

If my feelings don't matter, what makes the feelings of your spoiled asses so much better, huh?
