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?

Because the politics now is about changing everything you love about your favorite franchises.
If they simply made a bunch of new franchises with woke characters/storyline. A lot fewer people would be up in arms about it.
But I was never a fan of inserting the popular politics of the day into storyline. Its lazy. I'd rather see people give an angle that wasn't being heard anywhere else
