This is a common argument I've seen in Synthetic Man's comment section as well as in the comment section of other right wing gaming channels from leftists.
They say it's silly/ignorant to say modern gaming is political/woke and to then idealize older generations of games as being apolitical or non woke.
For example, Fallout 2, you play as a tribesman fighting the US government (which includes them wanting to commit genocide on the planet's population) which is an allegory for Indigenous Americans vs the European US government. Obviously a right wing or even apolitical developer wouldn't do a plot like this. Tim Cain being gay and left wing is often brought up to reinforce this point too. Other examples of this in Fallout would be the criticism of Capitalism as well as allowing gay relationships in Fallout NV.
Another example, a lot of leftists say GTA San Andreas criticizes police brutality and GTA 4 and 5 has a lot of on the nose left wing political satire that you find on the internet and radio in game for example in GTA 5, they say that Republicans make the US unlivable to illegals don't want to move there.
Metal Gear Solid is often brought up in relation tot his point as well, the series is overtly political/"woke" yet from the leftists pov the right wing game is oblivious/ignorant to it.
What is your opinion on this argument and counter argument if you have one?
They are absolutely correct.
Most rightoids are complete retards who think woke culture started 10 years ago, and this is one of the main reasons they never make any ground.
They have no principles and always get deceived into following one step behind leftoids.
The rightoids like the faggots and they have Lady Maga; it's pathetic.
While leftoids are trying to pull the rope toward absolute diversity, rightoids only want to stand still. It's pretty obvious who will eventually win that rope-pulling match.
Additionally, rightoids are infected with the meme that the arts are for liberal faggots, so liberal faggots dominate the arts that the public consumes, and the culture becomes more like liberal faggots.
That is literally the story of why movies are dominated by faggot Jews, because Edison who owned the patents to movie tech, saw it as a useless toy, while these eastern European Jews that built Hollywood realized it was a powerful tool to influence culture.
The same goes for nerd stuff. Rightoids pretend it doesn't matter and give the reins to liberal faggots.
You have to go the the extreme far-right to find true principles and goals for the future that actually pull into the other direction.
We are so far down the slippery slope that pedo-acceptance is coming up.
