Skyrim? Morrowind? Bioshock? Fallout 3?
Sometimes, I think conservatives don’t even know what they themselves stand for.
Metal Gear Rising, really? It’s almost too obvious the game criticizes the US and specially conservatives. There’s literally a corrupt senator that runs some imperialist PMC and wants to start a war
Those are some nice facts senator, how about you provide some CITATIONS!
My REFERENCE is that I made it the fuck up!!
A grand conspiracy just so he can SAY THE N WORD
Ah, yes. Bioshock. A series best known for its conservative values.
There’s definitely a block of people that look at Rapture and go “Man, I want to live there, that sounds awesome. Too bad all this stuff happened that totally has nothing to do with libertarian ideologies”.
Wasn’t Bioshock 2 a “both sides” argument about how too much collectivism is just as bad? Infinite also did the “both sides” thing with the oppressed proletarian revolutionaries actually being child murderers?
would love for someone to explain to me how fallout 3 (commentary on american capitalist/consumerist hubris and greed leading to apocalypse) is a conservative game
Funny factions regurgitate 50’s anti-commie propaganda in an extremely overblown, satirical, and comical way. Obviously its conservative!

lmao half of these games mock conservativism and the right-wing.
Fallout 3 - American anti-communism will lead to societal breakdown of the democratic order, as the failings of capitalism will require a dictatorship of fascism to sustain itself.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R - A game about nihilism, the destruction of the soviet union causing a depression deep into Slavic identify, and the need to find a future in wasteland devoid of caring or humanity.
Bioshock - The contradictions of libertarianism will result in a society governed by a social-Darwinism doctrine, power will be held by ruthless, bloodthirsty despots with money behind their backs, there is no freedom nor representation.
Dawn of War - A game about warhammer 40k which depicts a fascist rotten empire self-harming itself due to its inhumane cruelty. Religion is a tool, oppression is the means, and ethnic supremacy as a mechanism.
Killzone - A game about a corporation turned fascist to justify its own expansionism and imperialism.
Metal gear rising- how just how do you even think this is conservative? Its one of the most on the nose games ranting about US imperialism and conservative politics taking a slide into fascism, like you intentionally must be devoid of thinking if you put this as a conservative game.
All these games sure look like they’re all about conservatism here, and the other half are boomer shooters.
Bioshock explicitly parodies Ayn Rand, it’s literally a take on what happens after her “Strike” of the “elites”
At least they could’ve made the effort of putting up the two next opus aka “carl marcs is a religious leader” and “plot twist guerilla fighters against ultra racist ultra religious society is bad actually”
S.T.A.L.K.E.R - A game about nihilism, the destruction of the soviet union causing a depression deep into Slavic identify, and the need to find a future in wasteland devoid of caring or humanity.
STALKER is right wing and is made in Ukraine, sorry chief. The orginal IP was made during the USSR but the games are post-USSR ukranian made games and the newest one is probably going to have a shit ton of anti-russian stuff in it considering some of the devs died in the war.
Bioshock - The contradictions of libertarianism will result in a society governed by a social-Darwinism doctrine, power will be held by ruthless, bloodthirsty despots with money behind their backs, there is no freedom nor representation.
Id argue for this one too, it rags on libertarianism but it puts a single induvidual actor as the cure for it, this is liberalism.
Fallout 3 - American anti-communism will lead to societal breakdown of the democratic order, as the failings of capitalism will require a dictatorship of fascism to sustain itself.
Counter point, the amount of shitters going BETTER DEAD THAN RED from 3 and also NVs fash fan base who suck off the ceaser and that other faction who jokermodes about white nationalism people take seriously
STALKER is right wing and is made in Ukraine
I don’t think so, tbh. It was made back in the day, when Ukraine wasn’t full fash, and the memory of USSR dissolution was still kinda fresh. It perfectly captures the spirit of post-Soviet states: life is a bleak ruin of something once bright, and we all struggle against it and each other in search of non-existent wish granter. I’m not sure, of course, if devs intended it to read like this, but it does, especially for those of us who actually live in post-Soviet states. It’s a deeply melancholic series.
The new one will 100% be full fash, however.
New one is going to be full fash, not innovative or complex at all in its mechanics (critics will deem it a passable shooter), and it will rely on sLaVa cOcAiNi for its marketing mark my words
Yeah thats fair and more compelling, im a big fan of the roadside picnic series and also those authors other works (hard to be a god)
Its a shame to see the IP being used for cynical political reasons detatched and counter to the orginal soviets who made that IP, who while critical of the USSR still existed within it and advocated for a lot of its good too.
I grew up with Strugatsky bros’ books and I love them deeply. Though I don’t really consider Stalker to be the same IP, it’s “inspired by” at best.
The books are here to stay, thankfully, and so are the older games. The dipshit devs won’t take them away. And the new one is a write-off.
Apparently oblivion is too woke but Skyrim and Morrowind got in? Lol
lol one would expect that the same sex marriages in Skyrim would trigger these types
Their level of inceldom is so high they can’t even get married in video game lol.
Skyrim likely gets a pass because it scratches that vikingaboo itch they have
Ah yes, Persona 4, the game with both a non-binary character and a gay character in it, clearly 100% conservative.
I guess they like it because it has big tiddy underage anime girls in it and their brains switch off.
Same with Fire Emblem 3 Houses, multiple bi and some gay romance options. And Edelgard is the Empress of the Proletariat. You can romance your (former) students so maybe it’s on there for libertarianism?
I think they probably only care about the anime dating sim aspects of the fire emblem games. All the actual story is probably just ignored(which to be fair, is usually the only way to enjoy a fire emblem game, especially Fates.)
my friend pointed out the person who tweeted that talked about doing it as a joke so it’s just a troll post. looks like it worked though since i’ve seen this pic in like 5 different subreddits and now here lol
Squad is just a Mil-Sim, and Ready or Not is just a SWAT Sim. How are they political in any sense of the word. That’s like saying War Thunder is political for having vehicles of different nations.
Also Killzone? Aw hell nah 💀 you just know this chud loves the literal Nazi copies cough Helgast cough
BIOSHOCK???
Dies of cringe
if anything, squad is epic commiecore because you can play as the PLA and destroy western imperialist armies
Isn’t the PLA in Squad?
Yep, along with the Russian Army, and on top of that literally every army in history through mods.
Would you say a swat sim is copaganda?
Not really, as Ready or Not doesn’t present the police in a positive light, or obscure negatives, both of which are requirements for Copaganda.
There’s no righteousness or glory in the missions, and you are given clear cut requirements of accomplishing everything “by the books”, which I feel like works to show how much real cops are fucking up and are rotten to the core, instead of glorifying them.
Fair. Thanks!
No problem! You’re welcome!
I guess im a MAGA communist now 😅
I would love to see the breakdown of why these made the list. Parasite Eve because…you’re a cop? Persona is 200% not conservative by any stretch of the imagination. I can’t believe a single Paradox game didn’t make the cut.
All of my Rimworld playthroughs have been communist utopias, though I suppose you can go the opposite direction just as easily.
Sniper Elite - you kill nazis
God of war - pagan propaganda
Skyrim - pagan propaganda
Devil may cry - game about demons
Rimworld???
this has to be a troll
Sniper Elite 1 had the player also killing Soviets, and the following games still have a heavy pro-American/pro-Anglo slant
Skyrim is vikingaboo central. You know these types gobble it up and ask for more
DMC probably just has fun gameplay
Sniper Elite 1 had the player also killing Soviets
I think there was a mission in which you allied yourself with what was left of the Nazi army.
Kind of, the character goes undercover as a German sniper with the goal of killing high ranking Nazis like Bormann, while also preventing the Soviets from recruiting defecting scientists.
Pretty heavy lib stuff.
Rimworld???

You can side with the racists is Skyrim, so yeah.
Its giving Conservapedia saying Charli XCX’s “Vroom Vroom” is a conservative song
-devil may cry: a game about a HYBRID human-demon, showing that “race-mixing” makes you someone stronger than the “pure race” of demons
-god of war: a game about someone who wants to destroy the established order after being exploited for years
c’mon now!
Obama recommended parasite and bacurao as movies. It’s just proof that cultural affectations can be adopted by anyone.
I think there was a guy that unironically liked RATM until he found out about their politics that was making the rounds on Twitter.
💀
