As an example, you see with certain countries, they censor things that are subversive. Islamic countries will remove gay stuff as they should.
So that brings me to things like Red Dead Redemption. The first Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite video games of all time. I also recognize it as utterly subversive.
I love it for the gameplay and skip the cutscenes, but if you don't skip the cutscenes, it's clear that Rockstar was trying to shine their leftist garbage values onto the American cowboy mythos.
What do you do if you're in charge of America? Have the script rewritten and the dialogue redone/revoiced, leave it be, etc?
I'm of the mind that we had the right idea in the 1950s where we opposed subversive communistic/marxist messages in entertainment. If they wanted to get away with it, they had to be subtle enough that most people wouldn't pick up on it back then.
That said, what is and isn't subversive? Is Max Payne subversive? In the first game, I don't notice any subversive bullcrap, but to someone else who considers anything darker and bleaker than the Andy Griffith show to be destructive to the American spirit, Max Payne would be subversive to them.
What's your opinion?
If I'm the dictator of the United States then I establish a special office for the preservation and upkeep of American values and culture. Bonus of working on way more stuff than just video games.
Cultural antiquities, statues, music, films, games, etc, should be preserved outside of the so called intellectual property of whomever happens to buy it from some dead guy's grandson. That's Job 1 of such an office, identifying genuinely good things and preventing them from being painted over as they have been of late.
Job 2 is taking an axe to degenerate filth. Enough said there.
Job 3 is a preservation archive. Many, many works are not long term survivable. Combined with the difficulty, lack of scalability and instability of modern digital storage(not to mention that the left has destroyed so many), creating a national encyclopedia and archive of relevant and worthy works, is a necessity.
That solves the issue.
Isn't that what the Library of Congress does?
Do they do a good job, or are they, ahem, "unbiased"?
Because I want things like Lord of the Rings preserved forever against infiltrators, while whatever trash pop sluttery gets put out, put in the trash where it belongs. I want an explicitly biased lense for this.
I don't know enough about their collections to know how pozzed it is.
