Most of this has to do with the complete misunderstanding of politics—look at the comments of any article that expresses a political opinion or analysis of any blockbuster movie or game, and you’ll find many people directing their political opinions towards representation and diversity rather than…politics.

Black Panther isn’t a political movie because of its plot, which revolves around monarchy and monopolizing natural resources. No, it’s a political movie because it’s one of the only major blockbuster films of the last 10 years to feature a black protagonist. The Last of Us: Part II isn’t political because it takes an introspective, critical look at violence and revenge; rather, it’s political because it has a multicultural cast of characters and a lesbian lead. These distorted, warped views of politics are more indictative of cultural bias and discrimination towards marginalized groups than they are of real, political themes.

"Metal Gear isn't political because it has anti-imperialistic themes, but because it features a woman in a bikini. FNAF isn't political because it deals with the aftermat of a serial killer, but because its creator donated money to some republican candidates"

Even better:

"The Legend Of Zelda isn't political because its plot revolves around monarchy and has anti-fatalistic themes, but because Link is a white male"
