I remember reading on a mongolian basket weaving forum that reset era were struggling to figure out if Dustborn was on the nose leftism in action, or a hits too close to home parody they should be concerned and angry about.
Which leads me to believe the thing we all already knew. You can't "do it right" enough for a general consensus, let alone perfect. So we can all stop trying and just go back to making games that are fun instead of ones that tickle our politics.
If it's an ideology so untenuable that it might as well be a nebulous cause that jumps onto the next "thing" to make it a goal, then it's a cult and it should be treated like one, instead of being celebrated.

Unfortunately we'd still have some huge hanging problems before anyone who cares still has to deal with before such things could reasonably be enjoyed.

The ideology isn't tenable, so it looks ridiculous when manifested transparently in art. It wasn't parody. Not purposeful, at least.

How did they not notice how ridiculous it looked when they were making it?
I mean, they don’t notice how ridiculous a 6’5, 282lbs man in a skirt looks 🤷🏼♂️
Kilts excluded. They tried to ruin kilts though.
Intravenous 1 and 2 are perfect counter-points. they tickle all my politics and are still great games.
There are great games with political themes but I play games to escape the political world.
