Oof this is a rough overton window demonstration.
FarCry 5 itself bothsidesed settler militias (the demographics of the cult depicted in the game aren't exactly reflected by reality) and did colonial erasure (where the fuck are the Ndns?).
For FC6 to be a reaction against that is...rough
Yeah, there's a mission in FC5 where you have to protect a bunch of veterans' graves from cultists who want to blow them up because they're...pacifists? Anti-American? It's not well explained, but moments like that felt very bizarre. The good guys in FC5 are patriotic rural preppers, small town business owners, and cops. The bad guys are ethnically diverse weird hippie drug addicts who seem to hate America, oh but they really like guns and are vaguely Christian or something. A bunch of cutscenes after taking over outposts involve your guys taking down cultist symbols and replacing them with American flags. Your homebase in each region has at least one American flag hung prominently on the wall.
I never once got the impression the game was about demonizing conservatives/chuds outside the marketing campaign.
Lol the fact that preppers weren't militia members but the good guys instead was hilarious
