For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.

    not to mention the recurring incest fetish stuff throughout the series, which is always portrayed as desirable and romantic

      Boost the morale of your waifus, I mean, companions by molesting them with the touchpad! :so-true:

      Also, cure that poor lesbian with a potion! She wants you to! If you made a female character she isn't interested in you, though. :so-true:

      I thought Geneology did a pretty good job with how it handled it and it wasn't treated as a good thing either. I think Kaga leaving really brought the story quality down and Fates made it worse with their weird fetish shit.

      i think that's only fates, which is maybe the worst written game i've ever played, even discounting the conversion therapy and incest and gross handling of the child characters
