#1 Calling for politicization of video games as well. The Left cannot allow any cultural sphere to be left alone, it must control what comes out. It's like what China does with its Bureau of Culture, things must be approved for harmony with The Narrative or go back for revisions until they do.

#4 Minecraft -- that diabolical right-wing plot! It teaches us to be afraid of plant creatures that sneak up behind us, hiss, and explode!

#7 Whadda maroon.

I've only heard of 2 or 3 of those games and only spent time playing Civilization. Started that when it was on a CRT screen attached to a VAX.

Spacewar is evil incarnate. Rogue is the spawn of the devil! XYZZY is a codeword for Sexism (X and Y's) and transphobia (Z??). And don't get me started on 'Plover'!

#9 Yeah... they didn't get the fallout of gamergate.

Keep pushing, assclowns. The more you push, the more support you lose.

#10 Games are ideological constructions which push a set of values on the user.

Whatever helps you fool people into thinking you're smart, buddy.
