Videogames are an inherently antisocial medium of entertanment. The RPG has taught entire generations of people to treat interacting with others as a purely mechanical exchange. Having children waste so much of their formative years on such a dehumanizing simulacra of the world and humanity has served as a great tool for the capitalist order to erode their empathy into nothing.
Video games aren't inherently anything, they're a medium for expression the same as any other, they can have real art or tabloid trash, it's just they they were invented and popularized in the worst period of history in all reality so far

What? Man fuck outta here, some of the best stories came from RPGs I've played. Opinion discarded for sure.
Birth of a Nation also had a good plot from a narrative point of view. Name one RPG without a reactionary theme.
This is so stupid it's not fucking worth my time. Fuck off.
