Imagine thinking New Vegas is friendly to the far right.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 2 years ago

I think MGRR is weirder. I can at least see how Caesar might fool someone into thinking he's not a criticism of their ideology (helps that I have a close friend who's leftist but thinks Caesar is preferable to the NCR an House).

But I can't IMAGINE looking at fucking Senator Armstrong being like "literally me" and not realizing he's a parody of your shitty ideology.

lol thinking any Metal Gear is friendly to the far right...

Basically a case study in how parody from the left must be cartoonish and expository lest it be misinterpreted by mainstream Westerners.

But MGR:R's parody IS cartoonish and expository

so-true Liberty Prime

Wait, that was Fallout 3. All the 3D Fallouts might as well be the same game to me.

Ha right? I get 3 and NV mixed up all the time

A bunch of comments going "buddy you might be trans." Beyond the fallout nv meme like most of the things on this list either focused on girls, allow you to play as a girl or are games where you can basically ignore the protagonists gender. This would also explain the lack of The Witcher from someone with a polish flag in bio. trans-egg

Cyberpunk where you can make a female masculine voice character or a male feminine voice charecter have straight, gay, and bisexual relations is a...... pooh-wtf far right typed game.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago

The cyberpunk genre is pretty clearly a criticism of capitalism, but the main story in the game is basically a libertarians response to that, so they’re not totally off the mark.

Don't know most of these but: aren't Dark Souls, FO:NV, and MG:R stereotypical eggy transfemme games?

[-] [email protected] 41 points 2 years ago

A ton of people in the replies were telling them they might be trans lol.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago

Chuds liking fallout is proof no amount of subtext is enough for some people. You have to explicitly bash people over the head with your intended message if you dont want people to interpret it as exactly the opposite.

plus MG:R pretty explicitly has the protagonist fighting against the US government and global imperialism. The first mission is trying to prevent a left of center African head of state from being assassinated!

jesse-wtf Why these games?

Also, what is up with Polish people?

[-] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago

All Polish people born after 1989 know is nationalism, catholicism, free-marketism and lie

Unfortunately, a lot of us have extra strong brainworms. Nationalism + dogmatic free-market liberalism.

I was about to post something about media illiteracy, but on second thought it looks like a dumb attempt to claim some relatively innocuous pieces of media.

Like, no way in hell can anyone claim that MGR:R’s politics is right leaning

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago

They just think Armstrong was actually the good guy. No I'm not kidding.

I must be a closet far right i guess

My favorite thing on here isnt even one of the games, its Kaguya-sama

To a certain extent this is true, but less so a political ideology and more "Isolated person who is terminally online" which happens to have a 1-1 overlap with both communists and fascists.

Let's be honest, well-adjusted people are not playing HellTaker and DDLC despite them being very good games. Most people play FO:NV once or twice and think it's pretty good. They don't install 500+ mods to try to escape from the meaninglessness of existing in a society in which you can neither influence nor find comfort in. It's just an unfortunate shared characteristic between us the far-right wing.

If most people on Hexbear had a safe existence, happy childhood, and meaningful social life then they would not be here.

I had all of these things, I just have a lot of free time at my email job.

I hated the secret Helltaker ending where Malina became an Aleksandr Dugin supporter smh my head

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

Persona 5The villain of most of the game is a fascist strongman (and his closest supporters - explicitly portrayed as a collection of rich and powerful people) who schemes his way to power and gains support through a "We're gonna make Japan strong" plattform.

Shin Megami Tensei and Persona often have stinky politics, especially P4 and SMT IV, but P5 is definitely among the better ones, even if the ending to the vanilla plot is kinda meh.

this is peak diegetic essentialism lmao.

i played half of these, i can safely say they have nothing to do with rightwankery, lmao

If this Xheet is bait, it's the level of bait where you smear shit in your face and go "made you angry" when other people react in any way

Surprised they went for EU4 over HOI.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

I only know two of the things on here

one of them is an allegory for the environmental destruction wrought by the petroleum industry

and the other is Dark Souls, which is so open to interpretation it's practically a free space

Pretending to enjoy the Dead or Alive volleyball games to own the libs.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

"It has sexualized women in it, therefor it is conservative." Seems almost contradictory? I know chuds love sexualized women in games but dont they also want tradwives that cover up? They're so inconsistent about this.

Also Ive actually heard the lastest DOA Extreme is actually kind of a fun game when you focus on just the volleyball lol.

Is this person being an idiot as a bit? One person there points out that Warhammer is a parody of conservative ideology. This guy responds "how? I'm not a demon, alien, or a fascist."

We will own the left and produce racial purity by checks notes completing simple puzzles and thirsting over .pngs of women in suits.

Helltaker is honestly less political than tetris, you do not play for ideological reasons, you play it because you're a horny idiot. I know because I'm a horny idiot.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
