The only time this phrase is ever used is when a game beats you over the head with a "future is female" agenda. That's not politics, that's brainwashing
I don't know why I expected anything else other than selective quotes.
I'm not fine with it, but I accept that hardly anything can avoid carrying the biases of those who made it.
That said, you know what people mean when they complain about politics in games. It's when the story has a thinly veiled attack at the target du jour of left-wing whining. It's when there's some tone deaf reference to women's "oppression" which is as fictional as the game it was in. It's when a game's story becomes dated after one election, because it was never meant to do anything other than try to influence votes.
Yes, there has always been games with political subtext, but where's the logic in such trash as Battlefield V flipping the gender of real heroes of the second world war to push the feminist narrative?
If you can't see the ridiculous nature of flipping real events to promote the unearned superiority of a group who did more to help the Axis Powers than the Allies...you need help.
So you're okay with politics in games?

Don't mind retardjuiced he's reddit trash leftover that somehow ended up here.
Like a diseased dog that follows you around if you look at them.
What happened to GamerGate's 'they're fictional characters' now?
What happened to GamerGate's 'they're just pixels on a screen' now?
I don't know what arguments you're talking about.

The "why does it matter if her boobs are bigger than her head, she's a fictional character"
Women did more to help the Axis Powers than the Allies?
Battlefield is fictional work no more flipping real events than Kantai Collection and Drifters
