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?
I'm mostly libertarian. You actually expect me to operate the levels of power and actually change things? Don't make me laugh!
Jokes aside, I wouldn't dictate to games directly, but I'd go after the root causes, like going after DEI harshly at the root, like the major investment companies, as well as at the studios themselves. Stop incentivizing the slop, and a lot of it goes away.
Level the playing field by taking away the incentives, and then also roll back certain protections and affirmative action. Let studios be all white and Asian men, if they want. Let them be all dangerhaired trannies, if they want, too. But the second won't get any special funding, and can succeed or fail on their own merits.
Essentially, remove perverse incentives, and bring back meritocracy. Problem largely solved.
