    Maybe hearts of iron should be taken off the market and we shouldn't make games about ww2 that let you play as freaking nazis?

        You cannot make a game about ww2 and not foster a neo-nazi community. For every comrade conquering the world with the ussr theres a fascist doing that with nazi germany. Even outside of strategy games, shit like call of duty promotes nationalism and fascism. Video games ought to be censored. Basically anything touching real world history or issues needs a censor. I think china has a very good grip on the video game industry and that should be the standard. So you disagree with china so :stfu-terf:

          The bigger problem is neo Nazis existing than the games existing then right? Unless the game is creating them

            Video games create nazis because video games are largely a product consumed by rich white people and when you get rich white people in a discord together you get nazis.

              It's mostly white people in the US maybe and if you mean AAA gaming that requires expensive hardware. There are tons of people in Asia playing League of Legends and other free games for example. Before you even include mobile gaming

                Its a uniquely a US idea that a fucking computer is personal property. Everyone having a smart phone and a computer and a television and a gaming console is too much treats and definitely isn't good for the environment. We need to bring back computer cafes, arcades, movie theaters, and just social spaces where computer hardware can be shared so people don't need to own this stuff.

                You don't get white kids saying the nword on Xbox live if kids had to go to the library to play video games. Make that shit a more socially active activity.

            Games can definitely create them (or at least exacerbate the social conditions that make people reactionaries), that was Steve Bannon's entire strategy in 2016.
