I was replaying Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura game recently after some years and I noticed it had modern day politics for the time the game was made. Intolerance against orcs or how industrialization has led to deforestation and pollution.I still enjoyed it and I found this topics to enhance the game. If politics has always been in games then why does it bother me so much now, what actually changed?

I don't get the hate in older games. It is just in more recent games, prior to 2014 it was rather good and fun, even the politics. The way that politics are forced that changed, it used to allow you to make your own mind by giving you a complex view of things rather then force one version upon you. It is somehow parallel to how the left hates debates eg. Ben Shapiro, J. Peterson or change my mind from Crowder. They want to make sure you come to the "correct" and approved conclusion.
