I can see the Polygon headlines now, "RUclipsr proves that Gamers like to rape and murder." Reckon that's what they'll gather from this video. But what do you think? Your thoughts are much more important to me
It's bizarre for gamers wanting games to be seeing more favorable in the mainstream media and be considered an art form while retroactively wanting the artists' to censor their expression because they deem it as "problematic"
Unfortunately, I think that it takes a certain kind of person to pursue journalism in this day and age. Not all of course, but a lot of them seem to have become journalists not because they love videogames and love the industry and want to get the players as much information as possible - but instead because they want to change the industry, change videogames, and change the players. It wasnt always like this, but in the 2010's that's what journalism has become. It's all activism now. I'm fucking sick of activists claiming every single corner of free space they can find in our world and using it as a weapon for their ideological goals.
If they had that cringey statement that was supposed to relate to the characters on the box art, it should have been the Hellfighters motto: "Goddamn, let's go"
I thought that it was stupid considering that the majority of Fighters were White. It was another obvious political message by Dice. It is like if there was a game about Custer's Last Stand, I'm sure many people and I would be pissed that there would be a White guy on the front holding up a victorious flag. Considering that the hero of the war was Crazy Horse. Rewriting history is what these morons are doing. As Napoleon Bonaparte once said "History is but a fairy tale."
I believe the root of the problem is people try to find their identity in everything. For example, I identify myself as a Christian. Do you think when i play GTA, Red Dead, or Doom I'm trying to walk around within the game applying my beliefs? No, I'm murdering demons and people left in right in those game and boy is it fun. When my wife plays Halo and is playing as Master Chief, is she pissed off because she can't play as a girl? NO because the game is not her identity. Games or media in general do not identify or define you as a person. People need to stop acting like every game, movie, tv show, or sport has to perfectly align itself to your personal life, beliefs, gender, and agendas bc they don't even though the media believes it does.
Sir I believe in god and that makes playing DOOM even greater in my opinion cause it is funny to think yeah I am killing demons then I remember the doom movie and I think to my self damn that was a real movie🤔
Exactly! I'm a mixed race, Christian, male and I don't do this bs. In games like TES, I rarely play human, but when I do, they look nothing like me, nor is that my aim. They'll be darkskin, while I'm lightskin. Or a whole bunch of different colors depending on what in game race I choose. And I'm perfectly comfortable with how I look. I never got this "I need to be able to identify with this here trash can" bs. I don't go applying my beliefs to NPCs and whatnot. It's all just bs. Like, my good sir, just chill out and play the game.

Only gaming journalism that doesn't seem to be cancer these days are freelancers, youtubers, etc. People who actually seem to be part of the community they deliver news for, not the ones who despise it but took a job in it anyways because they care more about the journalism and nothing about the gaming part.
I don't get it, if we can kill black and white people in a game, does that mean it's racist or not? I kinda wanna be able to kill whoever i want to in games.
As ReviewTechUSA have said: "If you are a game journalist and you're missing that point (what gamers want), maybe you need to find a new job because you're not doing your job properly.

@@360tbag6 Bioshock is political? I mean I can’t speak for the Witcher since I haven’t played it, but I don’t remember seeing anything in bioshock that would make it highly political.
COD: MW2 did that just to be controversial. It was a shitty marketing trick that didn't work. GTA has always done killing "innocent people" better than COD. Remember in COD: MW3 you see that little girl get blown up by an IED, because Activision wanted to be edgy... Then nobody cared. Being edgy for no reason doesn't work. That and every COD has been shit after world at war.

huh funny i played the crap out of resident evil 5 and honestly never made the connection that i was killing "black" zombies, i only saw them as zombies, cant we kill all zombies equally with out discriminating due to there skin color
Why do we have to kill? Why can't we make a peaceful resolution with the zombies? Why can't we just avoid them and let them live in nature like mother earth intended?
Blackstar I highly agree with the comment and think your exactly right. However I’m unable to like your comment because then it would no longer remain on 69 likes.
People play video games to escape the real world, when people insert politics into games. It takes people out of the world they’re playing in and puts them back into the real world, which ruins the experience for them.
Codenamed Zombie what I mean is we do it to entertain ourselves, politics is not fun, so we lose that entertainment when it’s forced into what we play.
BF1: - The opening sequence shows a black Harlem Hellfighter, there’s a black German scout in the multiplayer and there’s a black man on the goddamn cover of the game. - “BF1 mIsSes OuT oN bLaCk SoLdIeRs.”
they seperated a group for a group they thought of as seperated by us and its so wrong...... politicians make laws happen so this is their way to get their influence solidified.
This goes for both sides of the spectrum to be honest. Complaining about no black people in a game is just as annoying as complaining about too many black people in a game. Let's just enjoy games instead of shoving leftist or rightist opinions into them ^^.
I feel like more people complain that they’re aren’t enough black people in games then the other way around. It’s stupid either way, but it’s just something I’ve noticed. Being a black man myself I find it annoying when they say I need more representation in a game like Witcher, or Kingdom Come Deliverance. Like bitch let me experience someone else’s culture through their eyes don’t get mad because you can’t make yourself in a game where it doesn’t make sense.
Exactly, when I play video games I don’t think about current social or political games unless the game is supposed to, but not something like battgield or cod, or something. I just play those go to have fun and relax
It's equally bad though when people bitch about the lack of white people. Just let the game developers do what they want to do. It's their fucking game.
Not one person complains about "too many black people." People complain about using race to get SJW points when it's obviously historically inaccurate, like women fighting in WW1
I think its done that way on purpose. It is done that way to get us all mad at each other and to keep us distracted so governments can do whatever they hell they want behind our backs.

My senior year of high school, our government teacher brought in a lawyer friend of hers that had practiced for something like 40 years, and he gave us a 20 minute speech about how in the US, the first amendment is our right to piss people off. 😂 He said not to let people bully us into thinking that we can’t speak our mind as long as it doesn’t hurt someone, and disagreeing with someone’s opinion is fine regardless of what they tell you. This was back in early 2014, and with act mans video it’s just as relevant today.
Paul Martin - I think it’s because our parents are suppose to take care of our legal stuff because most of us aren’t mature enough to deal with that stuff. I’m not sure though.

The game pong supports rape culture and portrays a situation where a rapist is attempting to go after two women. And on the only way one women can get away is by forcing the rapist(the ball) past the other woman's defenses.

Its the newest thing to blame. Whats strange is that the games industry is a bigger business than the US government and yet, it has no lobby power and basically lets itself be abused by outside idealouges. Still, it might be better than a profit oriented independent lobby, seenig how much shit that has already caused.

Yazeed But is this really? ACT isn’t really presenting an argument. He’s just saying that games exist in their own vacuum. That’s false. Books and film are products of society. To say games are art but then treat them like this is ignoring more
samuel haines But the thing is, games aren’t made or exist solely in a vacuum. They are the products of people and reflections of society. Just look at the way shooters are made and marketed in the US vs Japan. It doesn’t matter if they are trying to not be political. They are still works of a society. There exist entire courses in universities that examine past civilizations based on their literature. You can learn about the values and culture of say, 1600s London by looking at say novels that people used to relax with. If that’s true, why are games suddenly exempt from that kind of critical analysis? Secondly, simply trying to ignore this results in the medium staying stagnant. Cultural critique makes the following works in a medium actually try to improve themselves. Take comic books, for years comics treated women as plot devices for heroes, and children and minorities as side characters. We seldom got their stories as people and the few of those ever gave the topic justice. It was that critique from all kinds of people that we have comics from both big publishers and Small artists that are now able to tackle issues of race or LGBT in appropriate ways because of the way earlier people discussed those stories. How can Video Games truly start exploring more aspects of being human and when it isn’t allowed to have its own humanity discussed? A 2012 study looked at the most popular games and found the proportion of white males as protagonists in games exceeded the number of white males in the US. Non whites and women were rare and Native Americans and gay people were practically non existent. Consider the types of stories, characters and worlds we are missing out if we pushback against any form of discussions related to society. And even ignoring the high brow potential these offer us, consider the benefits for even works just trying to entertain. Look at FRIENDS and The Big Bang Theory and see how many of their jokes devolve into where the punchline is “x is acting like they’re gay or a woman”. Proper discussions could signal to other producers how to at least not make cringy jokes.

To say games are art but then treat them like this is ignoring more" Secondly, my second comment, the you are focusing on, was a reply Samuel did to my original.

“My name is Reggie. I’m about kicking ass, I’m about taking names, and we’re about making games.”

Complaining about no black people in a game is just as annoying as complaining about too many black people in a game.
Let's just enjoy games instead of shoving leftist or rightist opinions into them ^^.
I agree. Balanced, as all things should be.
I feel like more people complain that they’re aren’t enough black people in games then the other way around. It’s stupid either way, but it’s just something I’ve noticed. Being a black man myself I find it annoying when they say I need more representation in a game like Witcher, or Kingdom Come Deliverance. Like bitch let me experience someone else’s culture through their eyes don’t get mad because you can’t make yourself in a game where it doesn’t make sense.
Exactly, when I play video games I don’t think about current social or political games unless the game is supposed to, but not something like battgield or cod, or something. I just play those go to have fun and relax
It's equally bad though when people bitch about the lack of white people. Just let the game developers do what they want to do. It's their fucking game.

My senior year of high school, our government teacher brought in a lawyer friend of hers that had practiced for something like 40 years, and he gave us a 20 minute speech about how in the US, the first amendment is our right to piss people off. 😂 He said not to let people bully us into thinking that we can’t speak our mind as long as it doesn’t hurt someone, and disagreeing with someone’s opinion is fine regardless of what they tell you. This was back in early 2014, and with act mans video it’s just as relevant today.
Paul Martin - Well that is because we are minors and don’t have our rights yet. But some schools do take that too far.
Paul Martin - I think it’s because our parents are suppose to take care of our legal stuff because most of us aren’t mature enough to deal with that stuff. I’m not sure though.
ddam1320 - Doesn’t mean all of us are. There are some though that are definitely smart enough to have rights. But that’s the way it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its been like this for how long? And yet they still dont learn
Paul Martin first, I believe my point was that parents should be more strict if their kid obviously can’t handle it, just as they wouldn’t be able to handle football
Didn't conservatives complain that first
Its the newest thing to blame. Whats strange is that the games industry is a bigger business than the US government and yet, it has no lobby power and basically lets itself be abused by outside idealouges.

But is this really? ACT isn’t really presenting an argument. He’s just saying that games exist in their own vacuum.
That’s false. Books and film are products of society. To say games are art but then treat them like this is ignoring more
I aim to please
samuel haines
But the thing is, games aren’t made or exist solely in a vacuum. They are the products of people and reflections of society. Just look at the way shooters are made and marketed in the US vs Japan. It doesn’t matter if they are trying to not be political. They are still works of a society.
There exist entire courses in universities that examine past civilizations based on their literature. You can learn about the values and culture of say, 1600s London by looking at say novels that people used to relax with. If that’s true, why are games suddenly exempt from that kind of critical analysis?
Secondly, simply trying to ignore this results in the medium staying stagnant. Cultural critique makes the following works in a medium actually try to improve themselves. Take comic books, for years comics treated women as plot devices for heroes, and children and minorities as side characters. We seldom got their stories as people and the few of those ever gave the topic justice. It was that critique from all kinds of people that we have comics from both big publishers and Small artists that are now able to tackle issues of race or LGBT in appropriate ways because of the way earlier people discussed those stories. How can Video Games truly start exploring more aspects of being human and when it isn’t allowed to have its own humanity discussed?
A 2012 study looked at the most popular games and found the proportion of white males as protagonists in games exceeded the number of white males in the US. Non whites and women were rare and Native Americans and gay people were practically non existent. Consider the types of stories, characters and worlds we are missing out if we pushback against any form of discussions related to society.
And even ignoring the high brow potential these offer us, consider the benefits for even works just trying to entertain. Look at FRIENDS and The Big Bang Theory and see how many of their jokes devolve into where the punchline is “x is acting like they’re gay or a woman”. Proper discussions could signal to other producers how to at least not make cringy jokes.
Fraser, why do you discuss the video as answer to a comment that says: Hey Act Man, I like your video. Why not post it as a normal comment?

Example, rdr2 some comments under a video in which a lemoyne raider a fuckin ex confederate outlaw or some shit called Lenny a black character the N word. Then as I start sorting by new and went down the comment section it was just a cringfest. Its just so stupid how people just miss the damn point.
Why Was Witcher 3 so great I would watch that
I would pay to watch that tbh

Witcher 3 and The Witcher saga is full of politics...
It wasn't.

The only politics that should matter to a video game are the in-universe politics.
Yeah, like should I join the Stormcloaks or Imperials?
@@legendaryhero132 Ulfrik Stormcloak is a most likely a thalmor puppet, but as guy who is 100% Norse (Scandinavian if you want) IRL and always plays Nord i gotta go with the Stormcloaks for, can't be a true Patriot and support a globalist organisation like the Empire even thou it was created by a nord
Imperial Scum, Talos ftw :P
I hope elder scrolls VI isn't screwed.
*IMPERIALS HAVE BIG GAY*
"I don't bring politics into the discussion unless it's already there" - Totally. Don't politicize video games. Some are political and that's fine. Some aren't, don't put a message in the ones that aren't just because you feel like it.
Agreed
@T’Challa so black and gay people are bad politics and shouldn't be in star wars but a literal fascist empire is fine?

@@wastelandlegocheem i remember once someone tried to call out Mario kart for being political. Don’t remember how but I know it happened

Gamers rise up
Was it ever ironic?
@@journey95far49 r/thedonald
Journey95 Far nah. Politics in video games is good, as long as games are too be considered art.
@@journey95far49 How is he right? Many of the best video games ever are HIGHLY politcal, basically every cod campaign, Fallout, Bioshock, the Elder Scrolls, Far Cry, etc. etc. All of these games deal with politcal issues, the only difference is "politics" to your dumb ass is how many gay people and women exist in the game lmfao.
Journalists: We all have freedom of speech
Also journalists: you can’t voice your own opinion
I know I told a friend of mine that the BLM protestors are ruining peoples stores. Then he didn’t talk to me for like days and said I’m racist for not supporting BLM. Then I told him that I support African Americans having a better future in America, but he still calls me racist. So, what is the point of having free speech and freedom of the press if people cancel you out for explaining your views.
*the left
@@darthvader4339 Imagine being that stupid to think that a destructive organisation is worthy of being associated with a whole race
@@unlimited8410No I’m saying the left in general not just BLM, sorry.
@@darthvader4339 BLM is a good example for how brainwashed people are nowadays. Literally giving cash to people that burn down your local KFC haha

This comment is such a low resolution take it hurt my brain.
Do you understand the difference between political topics & a politically charged production?
@@OddboxGames lol go get triggered by a gay character.
A lot of gamers actually like the first two for some reason.
@@OddboxGames The “politically charged productions”
Like the Saints Row reboot people saw one trailer of the said it was “wokeness run amok” because they didn’t like how the characters looked.

This aged perfectly
The people who bring politics into games usually don't even play them
Very true. Seems like they have nothing better to do.
Don't strawman. The people who play games discuss politics in games they do play.
