A little while ago I watched someone stream playing Bioshock Infinite for the first time. When he was a little ways into the game when it was just all about how racist Columbia is he said "people told me they don't like this game's politics" and made a face because so far the game's politics amounted to "racism is bad, here are some ways that americans are racist, which is bad".
And then he got halfway through the game when Booker unprompted says Daisy and Comstock are basically identical and you could see him slowly realize over the next 30 minutes that the game isn't about how racism is bad but instead about how killing racists trying to kill you is only okay if you're a WASP with magic powers.
It was a couple of Tyler McVicker streams. It's been a bit since I've watched them though so I think I might be editorializing his reaction.
edit: I went back to check the vods and actually I did exaggerate quite a bit, sorry. If you're curious, this were his initial thoughts and this was his reaction, and that was basically it aside from going "What the fuck do they mean by that" when Elizabeth says basically the same thing as Booker, and then groaning when the Vox finally start fighting you.
