Both my sister and I blame our socialism on our dad exposing us to Star Trek when we were young. Reading Star Trek as right wing feels like somehow reading "The God Delusion" as a work of Christian apologetics.

Just another case of delusion by conservatives. There are so many conservative fans of Fallout who don’t understand that the whole nuclear fallout thing went down because of capitalism and consumerism. It also pokes at the red scare era in US politics.
There are fans who don't think it's political because their brain dead interpretation of "political" is a character (doesn't even have to be the main character just a character) that isn't a white cishet male.
The same people think that the brotherhood of steel are the good guys (fallout 4 brotherhood) and that genocide is the best thing for the commonwealth.
@@lucagerulat307 I mean when you think about it look at who they idolize, the Joker, Thanos and Tyler Durden , they don't view them from a cautionary tale as the movies show they view them as the ones who "Get it" and are the heroes
Well, yes. Just as "Kavernacle" himself has said, too often conservatives look only at the surface and see only what they want to see. With reference to one of the other games on here, I've noticed that conservatives do tend to enjoy "classic" film noir because of the clean-shaven men in suits and fedoras and "women who actually look like women." What they perhaps don't understand is that the 1940s fashions are incidental, and noir is not so much a style as it is a theme. CHINATOWN reflected many of the social and political themes of the 1970s, and if it had not been a period piece it wouldn't have been that different. Amusingly, I tried showing a conservative one of my favorite movies: the comic-book movie WATCHMEN, from a little over a decade ago. The movie is very clearly neo-noir, and this guy loves the "true" noir, but he hated WATCHMEN almost immediately, calling it "liberal" because it portrays Richard Nixon as a dictator. But he did agree to watch the film (almost) all the way through, and as it goes along it reveals a complex worldview. Not only is Nixon ultimately portrayed as sympathetic, but Rorscach, the fedora-wearing protagonist delivering the films noirish voiceover, is a complicated figure himself. He's "liberal" in that he's breaking the law by defying Nixon, but he's also "conservative" in that he's a vicious homophobe, as well as almost a religious fanatic in his approach to crime-fighting, which in his case is really just serial murder. And in the end, of course, he's become so fanatical that he's willing to let America be completely destroyed just to satisfy his abstract sense of morality.
@@Chuck_EL exactly The right are no strangers using the mentality I'll to spread their bs , seen it happen myself. Thanos was a narrow minded madman. As suppose to supplying more food , resources and system in place so that the problems of excess are mitigated or outright null and void, he decided to simply commit genocide. He couldn't possibly despite having infinite knowledge and would require thinking, but we all know conservative don't do that.
As I've said before, right wingers love Skyrim, mostly for its power fantasy. They ignore that TES as a series has always been fairly progressive, and in Skyrim itself: * The player character is an illegal immigrant who was arrested and is about to be executed for crossing the border. * You can fall in love and get married with no restrictions on race or gender. Skyrim had marriage equality 4 years before the US did. * The narrative at various points depicts the negative consequences of racial conflict and racism. * Both sides of the civil war are being manipulated by the Thalmor, an authoritarian regime that believes in their racial supremacy.
They only like it because they can make a vaguely looking Viking dude and give him an axe. You think they actually read the dialogue or the books or anything else in the game that describes the world? Absolutely not. It's just, "Viking man push dragon off cliff with boom boom voice yell hurr durr..." It's absolutely pathetic. Meanwhile, the rest of the world plays the game and walks away with all the points you made, contemplating what all the themes mean and what they imply about our world.

Remember not long ago when conservatives got angry because they realized Rage Against the Machine was actually very much opposed to their ideology? Good times, lol. They really aren't very good at understanding the art they consume.
Their attempt for years to make the matrix franchise "conservative" even they hated how "liberal" rage against the machine was even though they did a songs of the soundtrack was laughable Then Lana came out and told us it was extremely progressive...I mean she didn't need to because Most sane humans got it she did because the alt right and mgtow chuds tried to claim the matrix was pro conservative 😂
I was there... Got tons of death threats for making jokes at their expense. Tom Morello was fun, at least he got my jokes while the right raged at the keyboard.
Conservatives think that authoritarianism and communism are the same thing and so everything critical of authoritarianism is anti-communist in their eyes.
And pretend ancom/left libertarian doesn't exist. Mutualism and Syndicalism are socialist and are very antiauthoritarian. Worker Cooperatives and Syndicates ftw.
They think Biden is "the radical left" for f*ck's sake... That alone pretty much says about how much they understand about politics. It is just populist fascism at this point.
Random fun fact about gaming articles on conservapedia, One of my friends submitted an article making fun of an emulator by calling it a peice of 'woke chinese party propaganda'. All written playing an ignorant right wing character. *It was approved by official site staff*
Tbh after watching this video I'm wondering if a lot of it is essentially just trolls making fake articles on conservapidia, because some of it is SO out there that it feels like an actual joke. I mean they were calling Bernie a ML, no one in their right mind would make that kind of an absurd claim. At worst it'd be possible to smear him as a trotskyist but I don't personally think that's even true but it's more arguable than ML. If they want to claim he's secretly a full on socialist that's whatever but to go as far as to say he's an ML is just ludicrous and I am pretty confident even the average conservative knows this.
This reminds me of that time a bunch of activists circulated copies of J.G. Ballard's graphically transgressive short story "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan" at the 1980 RNC Presidential Convention and it was actually taken seriously as a piece of campaign research. Right wingers have always been this dumb and illiterate. Right wing intellectualism has always been an oxymoron.
So funny how wildly they misinterpret these games like thinking Rapture would be a great place to live despite the entire game screaming at you about how it wasn't. Can't wait for them to try and claim Disco Elysium is somehow pro cop or something

The punisher as a police symbol is almost scary if you take it at anything beyond its barest values of "hoorah, justice at all costs!" They are a character who murders people they view as wrongdoers, even if they do not have context or full understanding of the situation or even if they are acting on complete misunderstanding. Castle, as a character, was introduced with the folly to vigilante justice, that being targeting innocent people through bias. His very first action in comic books was attempting to kill Spiderman because he thought Spiderman killed Doctor Osborne (Green Goblin). In his existence, particularly in shows, The Punisher has had anti-war, anti-authoritarian sentiment, with Castle pressing the blame of PTSD and his enjoyment of killing towards killing people at war for the government. They're very much not a "good guy" and, if all cops were Castle, then, indeed, all cops would be bastards in a quite literal sense. They're a nastyboy, through and through.
And there was an incident in the comics where Frank takes some cops to task over using his symbol, bemused that anyone would WANT to be like him, and tells them if they're looking for someone to emulate, Captain America is right there. (Of course, if they were using the 2099 Punisher as an inspiration, that would be far better. "I don't need a jetpack--all I need is HATE!")
26:30 I figured that Fallout 3's Liberty Prime would get mentioned. Its become a meme in the Right Wing where they'll clip Liberty Prime's line about "Communism equal failure hur dur". They completely miss the irony of it. For starters, Liberty Prime was indeed developed to fight Communist China during the Great War but it was never actually used in combat because of technical issues. To make it even more ironic, when it is actually finally used in war its against the Enclave which are the last remnants of the US Government. So it's effectively disintegrating US Army soldiers as it spouts it's jingoistic one liners. The same kind of jingoism that led to the destruction of the USA.
There is also the following details: 1) Liberty Prime was finally completed and activated by a unit descended from soldiers who rebelled against the US government (back before it became known as the Enclave) for performing biological experiments on POWs. This is a subtle-not-subtle reference to the Tuskegee syphilis experiments and Japan's Unit 731. 2) The leader of this unit had a change of heart upon first arriving in the D.C. area and chose to go against his orders and instead help the people do more than just survive, prompting some of those under his command to split off and be a thorn in their side (not necessarily intentionally, but canonically, they fought whenever they encountered each other). This, to me at least, is a lot like when George Wallace pushed through policies that elevated countless Americans out of poverty, enough so to become FDR's VP for his third term...and for the Democrats to engage in underhanded tactics to replace him with Harry Truman for FDR's fourth term. 3) Admittedly, this one is more a personal take, and I doubt the developers actually did this on purpose, but the leader of the aforementioned unit struck me as a Bernie Sanders with military service, complete with him still remaining a part of the group despite them officially disavowing him and continuing to use their military forces - including Liberty Prime - to do good, which just so happened to include fighting the US government/Enclave. 4) This one is entirely a personal take, and the developers were far too early to have heard even a peep about this, but by sheer coincidence, the leader's daughter feels a lot like AOC, particularly in her first term, and she had no qualms about fighting on the frontlines alongside Liberty Prime (again, entirely personal take here, and undoubtedly nothing more than coincidence, but the details are still there). There is probably more just about Liberty Prime that can be brought up, but you get the idea. Regardless, you nailed the biggest details.
@@DavidRichardson153 One of my favorite facts about liberty prime is if you look at some of the propaganda posters in the newer games they mention the Chinese also having a giant robot. I hope that it is shown in one of the future games it would be very funny to see giant Rockham Sockum robots

@@DavidRichardson153 I think you're reading too much into the FEV experiments being a reference to the Tuskegee experiment/Japanese wartime experimentation but other than that yeah
yeah, the conservative blinders are real. the whole reason I got into Ayn Rand in high school was because I, being raised in a Republican household, played Bioshock and I legitimately did not understand that Andrew Ryan was the bad guy. I thought he was like a flawed anti-hero who's grand vision was undercut by greedy parasites thus leading to the downfall of Rapture.
The main reason rapture failed WAS because Ryan was an self-absorbed idiot, had he not built a society based on absolute freedom even when it actually was actively destroying itself, and built a truly free (you know not super racist, or sexist and even homophobic just to make a few ACTUAL positive points, compared to 1949's well.. world really ) but still sane society. Fontaine would have been kneecapped and the plasmids would not have screwed over rapture... But that wouldn't be very "Objective" would it?

@@DimaRakesah I mean the British and Americans also tried to deal with Nazi Germany peacefully until they couldn't. The Nazis had already broken the Versailles treaty, militarized, built a navy, mechanized divisions and air force, annexed Austria, invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland, was rabidly antisemitic and openly committed violence against the Jewish population as well as political and religious dissidents in their own country and the aforementioned countries. Still the British wanted peace up until their ally right across the channel was invaded and they were left with no choice. The Americans didn't even enter then, they sat back and made money, used the conflict to boost their industrialization and set up extortionate loans. Up until their commerce was threatened in the Atlantic and they were directly attacked by the Japanese. Was is only the Soviet Union held to this standard where they have to be completely altruistic? When practically everyone involved was self interested. Why do you think the British cared? For humanitarian reasons? Maybe in part but the elite of Britain was for more concerned with the axis powers threatening their status as the dominant European empire (which in turn assured their ability to use the force of the empire to coerce foreign economies and line their own pockets.)
Worse takes I've seen from Conservatives: Star Trek - The Federation not being a Socialist State Xmen - Professor X/Magneto not being a euphemism for Martin Luther King/Malcolm X Dune - Not being anti Capitalism in it's themes 1984 - Being only anti Communism and not anti Authoritarianism in it's themes Bioshock - Being pro free market
Last time I pointed out the Xmen/Marvel comics pushing social issues as story telling points, I'm always met with, "Yeah, but it wasn't so on the nose." So in other words, they were too dumb to get the message in the first place.
1984 isn't even anti-communism. At no point does it even advocate AGAINST communist ideas. It only portrays how evil authoritarianism and nationalism can be, no matter who wields it. Conservatives don't care - the brain rot prevents them from doing so.
I've heard conservatives praise Bioshock 3 for being a tale of how communism ruined a perfect society before. I really try not to talk about any art with conservatives though, they're clearly living in an alternate universe.
Unfortunately too many conservatives would prefer a shiny and clean city-fortress maintained by quasi-slaves than a commonly shared simpler city without excesses of the few at the expenses of the many. No wonder why they think Columbia was such a perfect society before reality hit hard. Suddenly I remembered the movie and the series Snowpiercer.
Very few video games could even be conservative because they are a product of collaboration and artistry which is the opposite of conservitism and most of the people working on them are themselves at the very least liberals. The worst games usually get is just plain vapid, shallow or uninspired. But even a casual reading of most games have themes of anti-authority, friendship, love over greed and self-interest, teamwork, honesty, self-knowledge etc. Having said that, the corpos who own these games and studios are super capitalist a-holes. So these wierdos once again misunderstanding and trying to reclaim non right stuff as right (or that it should be) is just... typical fash.
I’m not completely onboard with your comment. I do think a lot of video games are left-leaning, but I don’t think collaboration is inherently a leftist value, in my country, Italy, but surely in a lot of other places conservatives value quite a lot collaboration because they are catholic, and Catholicism surely has a lot of problems, but has always valued collaboration, social cohesion and community. So I don’t think that the simple act of making something together will inherently give it a leftist spin.
The only good games from the perspective of a conservative are ones where you are an anti-hero, or play as the villain, and are actually not written by conservatives and make it clear that you are the bad guy. Entropy: Zero for example, has you play as a Half-Life 2 metro cop who kills rebels and discovers a dark secret which helps the Combine. In the 2nd game, he is given a backstory as to why he enjoys killing people, and then a redemption arc at the end after he befriends a sentient turret and encounters a rogue clone of himself after his consciousness was transferred to various Combine Elite soldiers.
@Richard Spadine Thats what I said. Most are usually vapid and shallow. I didn't say most were actually leftist. Liberal and leftist are two different things.
@@tommasobianchi5496 I'd say there's a difference between collaboration and conformity. They're similar but not the same. Conservatives will insist upon conformity, leftists will try to foster collaboration. I think there's some element of the different approaches to privacy too but its a nuanced issue I don't really have the time to type about haha
Never knew anyone considered RDR2 to be a conservative game considering they'd be more closely aligned with many of the villains i.e. the rich ruling elite and the cops.
They think anything set in a western is somehow always conservative. Conservatives do the same thing with Yellowstone even though that show has many progressive themes.
80’s movies have a lot of homoerotic undertones to them, yet they are loved by conservatives. Look at Benett from Commando. The guy literally wears a BDSM outfit throughout the entire film! And yet conservatives love this film, considering Arnold Schwarzenegger even wears a Speedo at one point.
According to Anti-SJWs, old games/movies/shows with diversity in the cast aren't woke, because apparently female/poc/lgbt characters in these games/movies/shows were "well-written characters that happen to be women/poc/lgbt and didn't make their identity their whole personality".

Death of the Author is a flawed concept. We need context to understand narratives and the author's stated intentions add important, if not always necessary context. Embracing the idea that your interpretation is the only one that matters is how you get conservatives superimposing their alternate reality onto the media they consume. It was invented to attack traditionalism, but in the end it's a mostly self-defeating prospect.
I really don't get how these people don't understand the media they consume. I'm not sure how someone plays RDR2, or any of the games mentioned in this video, and truly believes they have conservative values in them. I need a whole scientific study done explaining why right-wingers only see things at face value and can't think deeply about anything because their interpretations of things are always astounding to me.
I think it’s more insidious than just wanting things they like to support their ideas. I think it’s all part of them desperately needing to believe they are the majority of people

Bioshock is insane to me lol not only does the libertarianism mess up the city, but the leader goes "freedom for me and not for thee" as soon as it's convenient for him and only makes things worse. But I can understand Red Dead in the sense that they fancy themselves rugged individualists fighting against "the system". Too bad they don't realize that the "the system" you are fighting in Red Dead is conservative, capitalist, and racist 😂
"Conservatism is when government small". Many of them get it wrong from the start, the greatest triumph the right has under their belt is managing to convince their followers that an education is a left wing conspiracy.
In Metal Gear Solid 3 you're rewarded with an easy boss fight the more non-lethal your tactics are, and in Watch Dogs if you're near a vehicle during a gunfight you can press a button to try to help its occupant escape to safety.

At the beginning of the marshlands section, Sheva openly talks about joining the BSAA after her family was killed by bioweapons and realizing that Africa has become a playground for weapons experimentation of larger geopolitical powers. That's pretty prescient for 2009, given that the 21st century colonialism in Africa really went into full swing after the game came out. Also, remember the whole "controversy" about Africans being targets in the game? It's amazing how little attention was paid to a based Black woman free of stereotypes and a strong personality as a playable character, still a rarity 13 years later.
Something to note aboot Liberty Prime: It never actually got deployed against Communists. In Fallout 3 it fought the remnants of the US government, while spouting American jingoism.

people forget that the boss songs are all from the perspective of the bosses, so they interpret the final boss theme as raiden accepting armstrong's ideals. except, no, like every other boss theme in the entire game it's from the boss's perspective and its about armstrong holding up raiden as the ideal example of why hes right despite raiden himself disagreeing vehemently

A big thing about modern conservative narratives is that they have picked a handful of wide-reaching concepts and insisted that these concepts are opposed by "leftist liberals" and therefore are inherently conservative. Concepts, that is, like "family", "freedom", "small government" and "strong military". Some of these concepts are universal, some are not so much but also diametrically oppose each other. It doesn't work if you think about it, but they don't, and they don't want to.

It’s because of kavernacle’s bioshock videos that made me play the game to see what they were talking about. One audio tape in particular in the later half in the game encapsulates the point of the game IMO and it went some thing like this “the idea of rapture was great but someone still had to clean toilets here at Rapture”. I paraphrased it, i didn’t really do the quote justice but I hope you get the idea that bioshock is not a pro capitalist game
And it makes an important point about the downfalls classism, something conservatives absolutely love but at the same time ignore when it is inconvenient.
I have noticed this weird thing with conservative people in RL, too, where they will associate anything remotely conservative just existing in media as a conservative icon and totally miss the actual message behind it. Military anything? Conservative! 50's post apoc? Well they had the 'traditional family' so conservative! Example. My mom gave me a book about a Saudi princess and went on and on about how terrible women were treated but walked away with "my faith good!" and totally missed the message I got... "Patriarchy bad" and went on believing in her patriarchal religion that says women should be subservient to men, dress modestly, etc. The actual messages just go right over their head.
Christians, especially women, are SO lucky they don’t take their religion as seriously as they think they do. They act like Christianity tamed the western world when it’s really western society that tamed Christianity. No, Karen, your religion is not more peaceful than Islam. The only reason you aren’t stoning sinners in the street or being stoned to death yourself is because modern western society has decided that we don’t play that shit.

i think a big part of the issue is that the terms "left wing" and "right wing" to a lot of reactionaries do just mean "bad guys" and "good guys". so they play a game, and whoever they perceive the bad guy to be - thats the left winger. theres little if any critical thought going on

Also I play a ton of JRPGs and for some reasons right wingers think they are right wing despite pretty much all of them are in some way anti-religious authority, anti-government, anti-tradition, etc. etc. For some reason they think all Japanese media is right wing, even though a hefty majority of it is incredibly left leaning
@@michaelshigetani433 I mentioned to my brother that Final Fantasy X was anti-Catholic, or possibly just anti-organized religion and he said that the Japanese "don't think about stuff like that" and "don't really know about stuff like that" he also said they don't "get" sarcasm and that they only think Samurai are "cool" and "awesome" and never use them as a tool for satire. Like America with cowboys and pirates (because nobody ever uses them to satirize American values). This is a man who spent eight years in Japan and didn't learn a word of Japanese. Final Fantasy VII is the most left-leaning game I will ever play. Sephiroth is indistinguishable from a religious zealot, the heroes take extreme measures to fight climate change, it is the most anti-corporate, tree hugging hippie game it is possible to make.
@@futurestoryteller It’s almost sad how many conservatives that play FF games (specifically FF7 which as you said is the most left leaning) misinterpret 95% of their messages.
Argh my wife has awful media literacy. She thinks that the content of a movie is what it’s promoting. All Quiet on the Western Front = pro war? Soft and Quiet = pro racist conservative women. She’ll see me laughing AT Ben Shapiro or Dave Rubin and be like “oh you’re a Ben Shapiro fan now?” She’s perfect in every other way though so I’m lucky but ARGH!
Wait all quiet is so anti war that you would have to only have seen only the action sequences to not know this. Hell the original has a full on speech about how war is bad. Same pretty much with the remake.
Omg all quiet on the western front as pro war is the most ridiculous media take ever. Like you couldn’t even use that in a comedy because it would be to unbelievably and pegged as bad writing. 😂
Did it not click in her head that the scenes of the war are being depicted as a machine where they recycled dead soldier uniforms to be made for the next human meat shield? Did she not see the ending where the war continues and you can see the humanity of the protagonist disappear when he's sent back to the front lines?
Reading the book All Quiet on the Western Front during highschool is literally what inspired my anti war ideology. I haven't watched the Netflix film because I know it would be so upsetting, watching depictions of violence in war is just difficult for me to watch.
"oh you're a Ben Shapiro fan now?" Combined with everything else, I gotta ask if she'd be the type to do this as a joke. Would actually be a pretty solid bit. Have to imagine it's been going on for too long for that tho
Ah yes, BioShock, the conservative game series where the first two games take place in a libertarian dystopia that destroyed itself and the third takes place in a far-right theocracy in the sky where interracial couples are stoned to death by the villains for the public's amusement. I swear, these people.
I remember under a God of War 2019 video, someone writing that it was anti-woke and brought back traditional family values. Just imagine living as that person.
Funny. I heard many salt right dikheds calling the game woke because it's trying to teach us men how we should raise our kids! THE NERVE!!! Can these azzholes just shut the phuck up and enjoy a sick game? My goodness lol.
My best guess is that it’s from the faction of white supremacists that are *really* into Viking stuff. Either way especially hilarious considering Kratos’s arc basically modeling non-toxic masculinity
Conservapedia is a joke but it's definitely _not_ satire. It was created by Andrew Schafly the son of Phyllis Schafly. If you know about recent US history, you'd recognize her as the woman who fought against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the 1970s.
This so the reason why I always say games and media in general were always political to these "no politics in my games" - guys. They just didn't bother to notice.
Yup. These guys only see the overt symbolism. If a character doesn't outright say "this is a left-leaning idea" or if there isn't an obvious culture-war signal (ie, even a single LGBT person), they don't see "politics" in it. Imagine, not realizing that Bioshock is anti libertarian and that MGS is overtyl anti-war. XD
re: Fallout 4 and the Brotherhood of Steel: "Friendship", "protecting the community" and eradicating anyone and -thing that isn't (like) yourself. Do you really wonder why "conservatives" think these people are the "good guys"?
The villain literally followed the teachings of being patriotic and blindly loyal to her military masters and look where that got her lol. DEAD. Not just dead but she was full of regrets before she bit the big bazooka. Clearly the game was telling the player, the hero, snake, that you should NOT go the path that she chose.
I live in an extremely conservative state here in the USA, and I overheard a conversation on how they liked the movie Avatar, but they didn't like the how James Cameron framed the mining of unobtainium or killing the whales as negative.
Conservatives: overwhelmingly support law enforcement when they shoot someone. Also Conservatives: “L.A. Noir is actually conservative because the player is encouraged to arrest suspects instead of shooting them”.
I’d love to hear if anyone in the “Metal Gear Solid is conservative” crowd has ever played Peace Walker. You know, just that game where you team up with Nicaraguan rebels, fight against US imperialism, and there are whole cassette tapes in which the hero of the game sings the praises of Che Guevara.
Che Guevara is not an unpopular figure to some Japanese creators, from Hideo Kojima to Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, the main artist and character designer for Gundam.
I love how they missed the fact that liberty prime was a failure and a money sink that would rather not move than lose any amount of firepower. And when it finally had power it was destroyed on its second deployment. And in fallout 4 it’s also destroyed after it is hacked and turns on the brotherhood. Hell, the only times it works it’s against the enclave (what’s left of the us)
You breezed right by this and I don’t blame you as a non-American for not knowing how significant this is but Andrew Shlafly’s mom Phylis Shlafly is one of the greatest monsters this country has ever produced. There was just an excellent episode of The Dollop covering her life and climb to power as probably the most successful Pick Me girl in the history of American Conservatism. I believe there has also been a Behind the Bastards episode on her. The short version is this; the modern Republican party, the one that Richard Nixon is a little too liberal for, starts with her. Her entire life’s mission was to pull the GOP as far to the right as possible. And there’s actually good evidence that this was legitimately her kink.
I remember getting a kick out of reading the Conservapedia articles on movies and television. The wildest one was on Hazbin Hotel for fairly obvious reasons. I am still anticipating a backlash against Hazbin Hotel when it airs this summer. From the right wing this time, not the Twitter mobs.
As someone who deals with somebody who is terminally ill. Arthur Morgan's story really touched me a lot because I have somebody who is dealing with leukemia and reminds me a lot of him. I also saw how he was a man of lot of potential but was constantly shoved down by High Society simply because of his upbringing. Whereas he had a lot of trauma that he was pushing down because especially given how men were treated in the Victorian era which that was essentially the late Victorian era just the Yeehaw version instead of the Cheerio version. And basically especially back in the late 19th century early 20th century you definitely see a lot of what many people would consider mainstream to be the magnum opus and that if you weren't part of that than you were considered an outsider. Honestly especially given during that time Arthur could have been a great artist for a newspaper or even just an illustrator for some books or something. Obviously this is a fictional character but if this were a real person somebody like him definitely fell through the cracks because when his mom died as a thirteen-year-old boy he was basically found by Dutch vanderlin and taught the ways of the van der Linde gang. And I feel that if Arthur was given a different opportunity or maybe was taken up by an uncle or something that he might be in a different position I'll be it considering what position he might be in it might be considered a gilded cage. And might not fit Arthur as well as maybe him being out in nature and being a kind of like the growth and rough-and-tumble Hunter that he is was honestly the best thing for him. Even if being sick he was out in nature and out in the wild. And I feel like on a certain level regardless of whether you're conservative or leftist or whatever I feel like we as a Humanity as a society has lost that connection to Nature. Antoni Arthur is very much connected to Nature. In fact during the honorable timeline Arthur has dreams about and during the bad timeline he has dreams about wolves. Meaning that he himself is very connected to Nature.
conservatives are the worst when it comes to the show "the boys." the critique about capitalism, american foreign policy and military, the liberal 'woke culture' (like the parodying of marvel movies), and how it's all tied together is very apparent. one specific moment in s3 I see conservatives missing the point of (spoilers ahead so stop reading if you care about that and haven't watched) is when hughie realizes working in the system isn't going to get him anywhere because the head popper (victoria nueman, anti-supe congresswoman and stan edgar's child) is a supe herself and has been acting as controlled opposition. many americans (myself included) have lost faith or have none left in the american political system, but they miss the point of how she's a right wing supe basically cosplaying as a socdem. their analysis is more like "see she was a liberal and liberals always turn out to be bad" lol
and did i mention they think homelander is the good guy/hero of the show. i mean the writers couldn't make it more obvious he is not but america = good
People tend to automatically assume things they like follow their ideology. When they're told something is in direct opposition to their ideology, they tend to hate it or view it more critically than they otherwise would. I remember an old very conservative associate of mine had a 20-inch-tall figurine of ED-209 from Robocop. He said it was his favorite movie of all time. I told him how completely anti-capitalist that movie was and showed him an interview with the director saying as much. Next time I saw him, ED-209 was gone from his shelf, a figurine I bet he spent over $500 on.
I think the issue is that conservatives generally aren't good at creating art, and this is largely due to not encouraging creativity. The only good conservative art you'll ever see is always militaristic, and a lot of it is paint by numbers member-berry tickling, like Top Gun Maverick. I don't think conservatives are really capable of making anything truly original because their whole worldview discourages originality. And that's okay. I just wish they'd acknowledge it
I genuinely saw someone claim that the Fallout series is pro-capitalist because "Vault-Tec saves people from the bombs" Like, have you ever read a terminal? Ever been in a vault that isn't the 3 vaguely functional ones?
@@lazuruswolf6668 that was only the player's vault in 4. In vault 86 they tried to do disease experiments on the residents, but overseer refused to allow it. There are numerous examples of inhumane and unethical treatment of vault residents, and even staff. Vault-Tec is such an obvious parallel to the Nazi "experiments". Unscientific nonsense that by design wouldn't yield useful results disguised as science so they could torture people. Believing they were the "good guys" is such a bad reading I can only assume they saw the in-game advertisements from Vault-Tec and took it at face value.
@@lazuruswolf6668 They did everything illegal under the sun to clients in every single one lol. Even vault 101 the experiment was see how long the population could last and it was on its last legs by the time of fallout 3.
I love how Conservatives see the Soviet Union and Khmer Rogue as an indictment of socialism, yet when you bring up the crusades as a condemnation of Christianity they lose their mind. At least the Crusaders were actually Christian, unlike the Soviet Union, which wasn't Communist.
Crusader Kings 3 is listed as a great conservative game on the site because "It also promotes true conservative values like fighting Islam and converting the religion of heathens."
0:13 red dead redemption 2 is literally a game about a culturally and racially diverse gang lead by an anarchist on the run from the Pinkerton detective agency, a privatized police force working for an actual robber baron, but yeah definitely a conservative game.
Yah, but Dutch is fos, like the Soviets, so they think that alone proves the game is against his "ideology" Also there are more right-wing forms of anarchy to be fair
I was always confused about them missing the leftist messaging in a lot of great video games too, but I think it's because you actually need to be able to follow the occasionally pretty complex plots in these games. And as we know from how conservatives miss themes and messages in movies and TV shows, we know that they aren't great at understanding plots in general. Most popular video games also make it really easy to skip the plots these days. Even Metal Gear Solid allows for liberal use of the "skip" button.
I don't know much about what media conservatives think affirms their incoherent ideology but I do know that whenever they have a gripe with something about the economic system we CURRENTLY LIVE IN, they say it's communism lol. It's a bit dissonant. Just a lil bit.

Someone tried to argue that Persona 5 was conservative?!?! How...? Oh. Because it's anti-authoritarian. ...The usual conservative blindspot where they think their heroes and politicians are anti-authoritarian, when most often they're trying to enforce a rigid social order with the might of the state and the cops.

Talking about Fallout, recently I've stumbled on some rather cringe conservative post-apocalyptic novels, particularly "Caliphate" by Tom Kratman and "Victoria" by William Lind. They're so over the top that they almost read as parodies, especially the second. At the same time I've found some very good post apocalyptic novels more left-leaning, like "Christian Nation" by Frederic Rich and "After the Revolution" by Robert Evans.

I mean, good luck to them (I love watching skilled players take down bosses in Elden Ring! Or StealthGamerBR do amazing assassinations in Dishonored, even though I always play it as a merciful ghost), but I can't be arsed with all that malarkey.

With Star Trek’s social topics such a tackling on interspecies racism, I have a hard time believe that the franchise was ever right wing leaning.
Both my sister and I blame our socialism on our dad exposing us to Star Trek when we were young. Reading Star Trek as right wing feels like somehow reading "The God Delusion" as a work of Christian apologetics.

Just another case of delusion by conservatives. There are so many conservative fans of Fallout who don’t understand that the whole nuclear fallout thing went down because of capitalism and consumerism. It also pokes at the red scare era in US politics.
There are fans who don't think it's political because their brain dead interpretation of "political" is a character (doesn't even have to be the main character just a character) that isn't a white cishet male.

@@lucagerulat307 I mean when you think about it look at who they idolize, the Joker, Thanos and Tyler Durden , they don't view them from a cautionary tale as the movies show they view them as the ones who "Get it" and are the heroes
Well, yes. Just as "Kavernacle" himself has said, too often conservatives look only at the surface and see only what they want to see. With reference to one of the other games on here, I've noticed that conservatives do tend to enjoy "classic" film noir because of the clean-shaven men in suits and fedoras and "women who actually look like women." What they perhaps don't understand is that the 1940s fashions are incidental, and noir is not so much a style as it is a theme. CHINATOWN reflected many of the social and political themes of the 1970s, and if it had not been a period piece it wouldn't have been that different.
Amusingly, I tried showing a conservative one of my favorite movies: the comic-book movie WATCHMEN, from a little over a decade ago. The movie is very clearly neo-noir, and this guy loves the "true" noir, but he hated WATCHMEN almost immediately, calling it "liberal" because it portrays Richard Nixon as a dictator. But he did agree to watch the film (almost) all the way through, and as it goes along it reveals a complex worldview. Not only is Nixon ultimately portrayed as sympathetic, but Rorscach, the fedora-wearing protagonist delivering the films noirish voiceover, is a complicated figure himself. He's "liberal" in that he's breaking the law by defying Nixon, but he's also "conservative" in that he's a vicious homophobe, as well as almost a religious fanatic in his approach to crime-fighting, which in his case is really just serial murder. And in the end, of course, he's become so fanatical that he's willing to let America be completely destroyed just to satisfy his abstract sense of morality.

As I've said before, right wingers love Skyrim, mostly for its power fantasy. They ignore that TES as a series has always been fairly progressive, and in Skyrim itself:
* The player character is an illegal immigrant who was arrested and is about to be executed for crossing the border.
* You can fall in love and get married with no restrictions on race or gender. Skyrim had marriage equality 4 years before the US did.
* The narrative at various points depicts the negative consequences of racial conflict and racism.
* Both sides of the civil war are being manipulated by the Thalmor, an authoritarian regime that believes in their racial supremacy.
* The Imperials are generally shown as being awful all throughout history
They only like it because they can make a vaguely looking Viking dude and give him an axe. You think they actually read the dialogue or the books or anything else in the game that describes the world? Absolutely not. It's just, "Viking man push dragon off cliff with boom boom voice yell hurr durr..." It's absolutely pathetic.

The punisher as a police symbol. He canonically hates cops
In some iterations he became the punisher specifically because the cops were no help.
Pretty sure he canonically has killed cops
The punisher as a police symbol is almost scary if you take it at anything beyond its barest values of "hoorah, justice at all costs!" They are a character who murders people they view as wrongdoers, even if they do not have context or full understanding of the situation or even if they are acting on complete misunderstanding.
Castle, as a character, was introduced with the folly to vigilante justice, that being targeting innocent people through bias. His very first action in comic books was attempting to kill Spiderman because he thought Spiderman killed Doctor Osborne (Green Goblin).
In his existence, particularly in shows, The Punisher has had anti-war, anti-authoritarian sentiment, with Castle pressing the blame of PTSD and his enjoyment of killing towards killing people at war for the government.
They're very much not a "good guy" and, if all cops were Castle, then, indeed, all cops would be bastards in a quite literal sense. They're a nastyboy, through and through.
And there was an incident in the comics where Frank takes some cops to task over using his symbol, bemused that anyone would WANT to be like him, and tells them if they're looking for someone to emulate, Captain America is right there.
(Of course, if they were using the 2099 Punisher as an inspiration, that would be far better. "I don't need a jetpack--all I need is HATE!")

26:30 I figured that Fallout 3's Liberty Prime would get mentioned. Its become a meme in the Right Wing where they'll clip Liberty Prime's line about "Communism equal failure hur dur".
They completely miss the irony of it. For starters, Liberty Prime was indeed developed to fight Communist China during the Great War but it was never actually used in combat because of technical issues. To make it even more ironic, when it is actually finally used in war its against the Enclave which are the last remnants of the US Government. So it's effectively disintegrating US Army soldiers as it spouts it's jingoistic one liners. The same kind of jingoism that led to the destruction of the USA.
Couldn't have said it better, kudos.
There is also the following details:
1) Liberty Prime was finally completed and activated by a unit descended from soldiers who rebelled against the US government (back before it became known as the Enclave) for performing biological experiments on POWs. This is a subtle-not-subtle reference to the Tuskegee syphilis experiments and Japan's Unit 731.
2) The leader of this unit had a change of heart upon first arriving in the D.C. area and chose to go against his orders and instead help the people do more than just survive, prompting some of those under his command to split off and be a thorn in their side (not necessarily intentionally, but canonically, they fought whenever they encountered each other). This, to me at least, is a lot like when George Wallace pushed through policies that elevated countless Americans out of poverty, enough so to become FDR's VP for his third term...and for the Democrats to engage in underhanded tactics to replace him with Harry Truman for FDR's fourth term.
3) Admittedly, this one is more a personal take, and I doubt the developers actually did this on purpose, but the leader of the aforementioned unit struck me as a Bernie Sanders with military service, complete with him still remaining a part of the group despite them officially disavowing him and continuing to use their military forces - including Liberty Prime - to do good, which just so happened to include fighting the US government/Enclave.
4) This one is entirely a personal take, and the developers were far too early to have heard even a peep about this, but by sheer coincidence, the leader's daughter feels a lot like AOC, particularly in her first term, and she had no qualms about fighting on the frontlines alongside Liberty Prime (again, entirely personal take here, and undoubtedly nothing more than coincidence, but the details are still there).
There is probably more just about Liberty Prime that can be brought up, but you get the idea. Regardless, you nailed the biggest details.

I thought he was like a flawed anti-hero who's grand vision was undercut by greedy parasites thus leading to the downfall of Rapture.
The main reason rapture failed WAS because Ryan was an self-absorbed idiot, had he not built a society based on absolute freedom even when it actually was actively destroying itself, and built a truly free (you know not super racist, or sexist and even homophobic just to make a few ACTUAL positive points, compared to 1949's well.. world really ) but still sane society.

@@DimaRakesah I mean the British and Americans also tried to deal with Nazi Germany peacefully until they couldn't. The Nazis had already broken the Versailles treaty, militarized, built a navy, mechanized divisions and air force, annexed Austria, invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland, was rabidly antisemitic and openly committed violence against the Jewish population as well as political and religious dissidents in their own country and the aforementioned countries. Still the British wanted peace up until their ally right across the channel was invaded and they were left with no choice. The Americans didn't even enter then, they sat back and made money, used the conflict to boost their industrialization and set up extortionate loans. Up until their commerce was threatened in the Atlantic and they were directly attacked by the Japanese. Was is only the Soviet Union held to this standard where they have to be completely altruistic? When practically everyone involved was self interested. Why do you think the British cared? For humanitarian reasons? Maybe in part but the elite of Britain was for more concerned with the axis powers threatening their status as the dominant European empire (which in turn assured their ability to use the force of the empire to coerce foreign economies and line their own pockets.)

Worse takes I've seen from Conservatives:
Star Trek - The Federation not being a Socialist State
Xmen - Professor X/Magneto not being a euphemism for Martin Luther King/Malcolm X
Dune - Not being anti Capitalism in it's themes
1984 - Being only anti Communism and not anti Authoritarianism in it's themes
Bioshock - Being pro free market
Watchmen: Rorschach is the hero we don't deserve, but the hero we need.
Last time I pointed out the Xmen/Marvel comics pushing social issues as story telling points, I'm always met with, "Yeah, but it wasn't so on the nose." So in other words, they were too dumb to get the message in the first place.
1984 isn't even anti-communism. At no point does it even advocate AGAINST communist ideas. It only portrays how evil authoritarianism and nationalism can be, no matter who wields it. Conservatives don't care - the brain rot prevents them from doing so.

I've heard conservatives praise Bioshock 3 for being a tale of how communism ruined a perfect society before. I really try not to talk about any art with conservatives though, they're clearly living in an alternate universe.
To be fair, they depict the Vox Populi as being JuSt As BaD as the racist Founders so it's easy to see Bioshock Infinite as Centrist at best.
@@CrowTR0bot yeah I could see an argument for that, but every time I engage with hardcore conservatives I regret every second of being alive.

Infinite is an absolute mess of story. Development hell will do that. It's still a fucking great game though.
Very few video games could even be conservative because they are a product of collaboration and artistry which is the opposite of conservitism and most of the people working on them are themselves at the very least liberals. The worst games usually get is just plain vapid, shallow or uninspired. But even a casual reading of most games have themes of anti-authority, friendship, love over greed and self-interest, teamwork, honesty, self-knowledge etc.
Having said that, the corpos who own these games and studios are super capitalist a-holes.
So these wierdos once again misunderstanding and trying to reclaim non right stuff as right (or that it should be) is just... typical fash.
I’m not completely onboard with your comment. I do think a lot of video games are left-leaning, but I don’t think collaboration is inherently a leftist value, in my country, Italy, but surely in a lot of other places conservatives value quite a lot collaboration because they are catholic, and Catholicism surely has a lot of problems, but has always valued collaboration, social cohesion and community. So I don’t think that the simple act of making something together will inherently give it a leftist spin.
The only good games from the perspective of a conservative are ones where you are an anti-hero, or play as the villain, and are actually not written by conservatives and make it clear that you are the bad guy.
Entropy: Zero for example, has you play as a Half-Life 2 metro cop who kills rebels and discovers a dark secret which helps the Combine. In the 2nd game, he is given a backstory as to why he enjoys killing people, and then a redemption arc at the end after he befriends a sentient turret and encounters a rogue clone of himself after his consciousness was transferred to various Combine Elite soldiers.
Conservatism is about conformity.
@Richard Spadine Thats what I said. Most are usually vapid and shallow. I didn't say most were actually leftist.
Liberal and leftist are two different things.
@@tommasobianchi5496 I'd say there's a difference between collaboration and conformity. They're similar but not the same. Conservatives will insist upon conformity, leftists will try to foster collaboration.

They think anything set in a western is somehow always conservative. Conservatives do the same thing with Yellowstone even though that show has many progressive themes.
80’s movies have a lot of homoerotic undertones to them, yet they are loved by conservatives. Look at Benett from Commando. The guy literally wears a BDSM outfit throughout the entire film! And yet conservatives love this film, considering Arnold Schwarzenegger even wears a Speedo at one point.

Death of the Author is a flawed concept. We need context to understand narratives and the author's stated intentions add important, if not always necessary context. Embracing the idea that your interpretation is the only one that matters is how you get conservatives superimposing their alternate reality onto the media they consume. It was invented to attack traditionalism, but in the end it's a mostly self-defeating prospect.

Haha, perfect example of cognitive dissonance at work. I'm reminded of Ken Watanabe's line from Godzilla. "Let them fight."
A big thing about modern conservative narratives is that they have picked a handful of wide-reaching concepts and insisted that these concepts are opposed by "leftist liberals" and therefore are inherently conservative.
Concepts, that is, like "family", "freedom", "small government" and "strong military". Some of these concepts are universal, some are not so much but also diametrically oppose each other. It doesn't work if you think about it, but they don't, and they don't want to.
They are supposedly for "small government" but also simultaneously support police and military forces.

My mom gave me a book about a Saudi princess and went on and on about how terrible women were treated but walked away with "my faith good!" and totally missed the message I got... "Patriarchy bad" and went on believing in her patriarchal religion that says women should be subservient to men, dress modestly, etc. The actual messages just go right over their head.

Did she not see the ending where the war continues and you can see the humanity of the protagonist disappear when he's sent back to the front lines?

Conservapedia is a joke but it's definitely _not_ satire. It was created by Andrew Schafly the son of Phyllis Schafly. If you know about recent US history, you'd recognize her as the woman who fought against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the 1970s.
This so the reason why I always say games and media in general were always political to these "no politics in my games" - guys. They just didn't bother to notice.
Yup. These guys only see the overt symbolism.
If a character doesn't outright say "this is a left-leaning idea" or if there isn't an obvious culture-war signal (ie, even a single LGBT person), they don't see "politics" in it.
Imagine, not realizing that Bioshock is anti libertarian and that MGS is overtyl anti-war. XD
Conservatives have practically no media literacy.
re: Fallout 4 and the Brotherhood of Steel:
"Friendship", "protecting the community" and eradicating anyone and -thing that isn't (like) yourself.
Do you really wonder why "conservatives" think these people are the "good guys"?
I don't get how you could ever see MGS3 as a pro-patriotism game
The villain literally followed the teachings of being patriotic and blindly loyal to her military masters and look where that got her lol. DEAD. Not just dead but she was full of regrets before she bit the big bazooka. Clearly the game was telling the player, the hero, snake, that you should NOT go the path that she chose.
It was interesting to see how Naked Snake became Big Boss
@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342
Not to mention that it led to Naked Snake to start an anti-nationalist mercenary group. Anti-nationalist!
I live in an extremely conservative state here in the USA, and I overheard a conversation on how they liked the movie Avatar, but they didn't like the how James Cameron framed the mining of unobtainium or killing the whales as negative.
Movie is pretty= good. Movie has message = bad.
MGS3 as a patriotic game is SUCH a hilarious read. Literally demonstrates how nations on both sides at war only seek to use people.
okay like…. The Revengeance part really makes me think this is actually parody omggg
Conservatives: overwhelmingly support law enforcement when they shoot someone.
Also Conservatives: “L.A. Noir is actually conservative because the player is encouraged to arrest suspects instead of shooting them”.
I’d love to hear if anyone in the “Metal Gear Solid is conservative” crowd has ever played Peace Walker. You know, just that game where you team up with Nicaraguan rebels, fight against US imperialism, and there are whole cassette tapes in which the hero of the game sings the praises of Che Guevara.
Che Guevara is not an unpopular figure to some Japanese creators, from Hideo Kojima to Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, the main artist and character designer for Gundam.
Ah yes, let’s solve the perceived bias by creating a biased platform of our own literally wearing its bias on its sleeve. Totally makes sense.
It’s worked for Fox for 26 years.
you can't avoid bias its built into everything you can only seek to find the best kind of bias
I love how they missed the fact that liberty prime was a failure and a money sink that would rather not move than lose any amount of firepower. And when it finally had power it was destroyed on its second deployment. And in fallout 4 it’s also destroyed after it is hacked and turns on the brotherhood. Hell, the only times it works it’s against the enclave (what’s left of the us)
You breezed right by this and I don’t blame you as a non-American for not knowing how significant this is but Andrew Shlafly’s mom Phylis Shlafly is one of the greatest monsters this country has ever produced. There was just an excellent episode of The Dollop covering her life and climb to power as probably the most successful Pick Me girl in the history of American Conservatism. I believe there has also been a Behind the Bastards episode on her. The short version is this; the modern Republican party, the one that Richard Nixon is a little too liberal for, starts with her. Her entire life’s mission was to pull the GOP as far to the right as possible. And there’s actually good evidence that this was legitimately her kink.
I remember getting a kick out of reading the Conservapedia articles on movies and television. The wildest one was on Hazbin Hotel for fairly obvious reasons. I am still anticipating a backlash against Hazbin Hotel when it airs this summer. From the right wing this time, not the Twitter mobs.
I can only imagine how they feel about angel dust
How the fuck was Hazbin Hotel described? It has a total of 1 straight coupling and is featured in hell.
Hate to break it to you but the right wing IS the Twitter mob
It always boils down to either the subtext going way over their heads or them inventing a new subtext by grasping at straws to refute the overt text.
As someone who deals with somebody who is terminally ill. Arthur Morgan's story really touched me a lot because I have somebody who is dealing with leukemia and reminds me a lot of him. I also saw how he was a man of lot of potential but was constantly shoved down by High Society simply because of his upbringing. Whereas he had a lot of trauma that he was pushing down because especially given how men were treated in the Victorian era which that was essentially the late Victorian era just the Yeehaw version instead of the Cheerio version. And basically especially back in the late 19th century early 20th century you definitely see a lot of what many people would consider mainstream to be the magnum opus and that if you weren't part of that than you were considered an outsider. Honestly especially given during that time Arthur could have been a great artist for a newspaper or even just an illustrator for some books or something. Obviously this is a fictional character but if this were a real person somebody like him definitely fell through the cracks because when his mom died as a thirteen-year-old boy he was basically found by Dutch vanderlin and taught the ways of the van der Linde gang. And I feel that if Arthur was given a different opportunity or maybe was taken up by an uncle or something that he might be in a different position I'll be it considering what position he might be in it might be considered a gilded cage. And might not fit Arthur as well as maybe him being out in nature and being a kind of like the growth and rough-and-tumble Hunter that he is was honestly the best thing for him. Even if being sick he was out in nature and out in the wild. And I feel like on a certain level regardless of whether you're conservative or leftist or whatever I feel like we as a Humanity as a society has lost that connection to Nature. Antoni Arthur is very much connected to Nature. In fact during the honorable timeline Arthur has dreams about and during the bad timeline he has dreams about wolves. Meaning that he himself is very connected to Nature.
Conservatists calling obvious left-wing media right-wing will never seize to amaze me.
No one ever said Conservatives were good at cognitive ability. Reality tends to have a Liberal bias
conservatives are the worst when it comes to the show "the boys." the critique about capitalism, american foreign policy and military, the liberal 'woke culture' (like the parodying of marvel movies), and how it's all tied together is very apparent. one specific moment in s3 I see conservatives missing the point of (spoilers ahead so stop reading if you care about that and haven't watched) is when hughie realizes working in the system isn't going to get him anywhere because the head popper (victoria nueman, anti-supe congresswoman and stan edgar's child) is a supe herself and has been acting as controlled opposition. many americans (myself included) have lost faith or have none left in the american political system, but they miss the point of how she's a right wing supe basically cosplaying as a socdem. their analysis is more like "see she was a liberal and liberals always turn out to be bad" lol
and did i mention they think homelander is the good guy/hero of the show. i mean the writers couldn't make it more obvious he is not but america = good
People tend to automatically assume things they like follow their ideology. When they're told something is in direct opposition to their ideology, they tend to hate it or view it more critically than they otherwise would. I remember an old very conservative associate of mine had a 20-inch-tall figurine of ED-209 from Robocop. He said it was his favorite movie of all time. I told him how completely anti-capitalist that movie was and showed him an interview with the director saying as much. Next time I saw him, ED-209 was gone from his shelf, a figurine I bet he spent over $500 on.
One of the most absurd examples was Dave Ruben claiming 'V for Vendetta' for the Right-wing.
Dave Rubin and his big ideas.
Meanwhile Alan Moore is openly an anarcho-socialist wizard. Seriously if you read "From Hell" he makes his views perfectly explicit.
@Tjena Donn exactly. Right wingers aren't just wrong about everything, they believe the reverse of the truth about everything
@@tjenadonn6158 A conservative coworker of mine got upset when he finally learned Alan Moore was a leftist.
@@tjenadonn6158
The only reason he made Anarky a villain was because he thought it'd be fun to write a villain he agrees with.
I think the issue is that conservatives generally aren't good at creating art, and this is largely due to not encouraging creativity. The only good conservative art you'll ever see is always militaristic, and a lot of it is paint by numbers member-berry tickling, like Top Gun Maverick. I don't think conservatives are really capable of making anything truly original because their whole worldview discourages originality. And that's okay. I just wish they'd acknowledge it
BTW, Michael Saba made an excellent video on MGS being a massive anti-war epic. Highly recommend.
I second this, his video was great. Def worth a look
I genuinely saw someone claim that the Fallout series is pro-capitalist because "Vault-Tec saves people from the bombs"
Like, have you ever read a terminal? Ever been in a vault that isn't the 3 vaguely functional ones?
Don't forget they did illegal cryogenic experiments on their clients.
@@lazuruswolf6668 that was only the player's vault in 4. In vault 86 they tried to do disease experiments on the residents, but overseer refused to allow it. There are numerous examples of inhumane and unethical treatment of vault residents, and even staff. Vault-Tec is such an obvious parallel to the Nazi "experiments". Unscientific nonsense that by design wouldn't yield useful results disguised as science so they could torture people. Believing they were the "good guys" is such a bad reading I can only assume they saw the in-game advertisements from Vault-Tec and took it at face value.
@@lazuruswolf6668 They did everything illegal under the sun to clients in every single one lol. Even vault 101 the experiment was see how long the population could last and it was on its last legs by the time of fallout 3.
I love how Conservatives see the Soviet Union and Khmer Rogue as an indictment of socialism, yet when you bring up the crusades as a condemnation of Christianity they lose their mind. At least the Crusaders were actually Christian, unlike the Soviet Union, which wasn't Communist.
Crusader Kings 3 is listed as a great conservative game on the site because "It also promotes true conservative values like fighting Islam and converting the religion of heathens."
@@Hoonsy2you Meanwhile me in CK3: I had my wife executed so that I could marry my horse, and my two sons are having a love triangle with the Pope.
@@Hoonsy2you Just casually ignore any game where you play as Vikings.
0:13 red dead redemption 2 is literally a game about a culturally and racially diverse gang lead by an anarchist on the run from the Pinkerton detective agency, a privatized police force working for an actual robber baron, but yeah definitely a conservative game.
Yah, but Dutch is fos, like the Soviets, so they think that alone proves the game is against his "ideology"
Also there are more right-wing forms of anarchy to be fair
Think that conservatives have just proven how badly we need media literacy to become part of basic education
I was always confused about them missing the leftist messaging in a lot of great video games too, but I think it's because you actually need to be able to follow the occasionally pretty complex plots in these games. And as we know from how conservatives miss themes and messages in movies and TV shows, we know that they aren't great at understanding plots in general. Most popular video games also make it really easy to skip the plots these days. Even Metal Gear Solid allows for liberal use of the "skip" button.
I don't know much about what media conservatives think affirms their incoherent ideology but I do know that whenever they have a gripe with something about the economic system we CURRENTLY LIVE IN, they say it's communism lol. It's a bit dissonant. Just a lil bit.
Conservatives were taught that capitalism = freedom, democracy and food and communism = repression, totalitarianism and no food.
Conservapedia is just a serious version of that one Colbert Report-based wiki.
I'm just for the conservative version of Merriam websters dictionary.
“While there are guns and money, there won’t be any freedom.” -John Marston
no joke, he is speaking to Luisa about the revolution in Mexico taking place during rdr1
Someone tried to argue to me that persona 5/persona 5 royal is conservative because its a critique of “sheeple mentality and authoritarianism”
Persona 5, a game where one of the villains is basically jeff bezos and the second last (or third last in royal) villain is basically shinzo abe to the point they had to change some dialogue to make him less of a direct shinzo abe caricature
Someone tried to argue that Persona 5 was conservative?!?! How...?
Oh. Because it's anti-authoritarian. ...The usual conservative blindspot where they think their heroes and politicians are anti-authoritarian, when most often they're trying to enforce a rigid social order with the might of the state and the cops.
You'd think that the heavy anti-cop message of the game would have clued that person in, but apparently not!
@@AegixDrakan I because they think Sae is otherwise a decent person they think it’s pro-cop because they don’t realize ACAB isn’t just “if you’re a cop you’re basically Hitler” but more a critique of the overall systemic problems with policing. EVEN THEN you have to change Sae’s heart to get her semi-on your side!
@@SiRenfield Wait... They just look at Sae as their example of the game being pro-cop?!
When the game's second big scene is Joker getting full on brutalized in his jail cell with the cops threatening to ruin his leg and boasting about how nothing can be used as evidence against them?!
On top of how badly Joker gets shafted by the justice system for trying to do the right thing in his backstory?!
**head in hands**
Talking about Fallout, recently I've stumbled on some rather cringe conservative post-apocalyptic novels, particularly "Caliphate" by Tom Kratman and "Victoria" by William Lind. They're so over the top that they almost read as parodies, especially the second. At the same time I've found some very good post apocalyptic novels more left-leaning, like "Christian Nation" by Frederic Rich and "After the Revolution" by Robert Evans.
Baen Books used to have the monopoly on awful right wing sci fi with the occasional gem like the late Eric Flint's 1632 books and the Honor Harrington series, but amazon has some real classics of crap.
They have Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing on the Could Be Conservative list. WTH
HOW

I'm kinda surprised that they didn't try say Disco Elysium was "conservative" because the main character is a cop lol
These are the same folks who play RATM at their trump speech tailgate parties.
WHAT YOU HAVENT HEARD OF CONSERVAPEDIA BEFORE THIS?! It’s such an amazing gold mind of conservative lunacy/misunderstanding if you have the mental fortitude to actually read what they have to say.
I would just like to say that I hope the workers that make games form more unions or better yet, run their business as a workers cooperative. I’m so unbelievably tired of crunch, sexual assault, and other exploitative practices throughout the industry I’ve straight up blocked various publishers on Steam and just find something else to play.

Conservatives: The soviet union is the bad guy, so it's a conservative game!
Conservatives now: Soviet Union isn't that bad, we love Putin now since he doesn't like liberals!
Considering the make up of the gang I never thought of Red Dead Redemption as a conservative game.
The first game maybe had some conservative themes, but also some progressive ones. But RDR2 is far from a conservative game.
Nothing is worse than taking a deep and challenging story like RDR2 and forcing it to mean “Left is da bad guyz.”
These are the same people who also think Rammstien is a far right band and that Amerika is a song singing their praises, and that Squid game was anti communist
They are art illiterate

Liberty Prime *IS* awesome.
Awesome satire.
Assassin's creed 1 still feels like a game about an ancient anarchist organization
I want these two to be forced to play Disco Elysium or Pathologic.
kavernacle, could you send a video on HG Wells. He was a sci-fi writer in the 1800s and was a huge socialist and progressive. A lot of his books like War of the World's and The Time Machine have really progressive messages.
I love The Outer Worlds - not because it wears its politics on its sleeve (which it does, TBH), but because it's funny, easy, and there is a whole system of colourful planets to get into mischief!
Now I'm going off topic, and onto a rant about gaming culture ;-) ...
I'm not a gamer - I just play for fun and distraction. Gamers seem to be very competitive, and get weirdly obsessed by minutia. I mean, good luck to them (I love watching skilled players take down bosses in Elden Ring! Or StealthGamerBR do amazing assassinations in Dishonored, even though I always play it as a merciful ghost), but I can't be arsed with all that malarkey.
Conservatives unironically cannot process reality.
I remember Paul Joseph Watson drooling over John Carpenter's "They Live" once lol
Man, if these guys played watch dogs 2 they would have a fucking heart attack.
My favorite conservative video game is Madden. Every year, nothing progresses and everything stays the same.
nah seems to get worse every year honestly
surprised they didn't complain about the strong women in r6 or the diversity
Or they didn’t get mad because it has the words “rainbow” in it
