Famously conservative video games Bioshock and Metal Gear Rising.

Metal Gear Rising really is the funniest one on this list. The game's main antagonist is Dick Cheney with nanomachines who verbatim says he wants to "Make America Great Again" a full two years before the Trump campaign starts. You kill an insane amount of cops. One of the bosses, who is shown to be nothing more than a psychopath who enjoys war, wants the world to go back to "the good old days after 9/11" when arms manufacturers could do anything they wanted. It portrays a world where war is nothing but a vehicle for profit, and the main characters realises he wants nothing to do with this, leaves his PMC outfit, and fights for himself against these evil corporations. It's not subtle, in the slightest. I have no idea how you can read this game as conservative.

I can.
A lot of
seriously say that Senator Armstrong was based and quote him as some ideal politician the way they also worship Walter White and Patrick Bateman.
I guess I can never underestimate the shockingly low level of media literacy in our beloved modernity, huh.
Who wants to help me crowdfund a bribe to Trump's speechwriter to have him say the entire Senator Armstrong monolog at a rally?
There’s no way Trump could ever stick to a speech — you get the comedy gold by winging it
don't do hard difficulty lol I couldn't get past one of the earliest areas I'm gonna have to start over.
wants the world to go back to "the good old days after 9/11"
lmao I forgot that was an actual quote from the game and not a Max0r joke.
essential commiecore:
- spider solitaire

I nominate Skate 3 for this list, as you can choose an AK47 for your team logo
How the fuck do I remember Cartoon Networks summer resort better than anything else on this list?
banjo-kazooie: grunty's revenge
oh my god, I didn't know there was a 3rd Banjo-Kazooie game
Darktide
DoA Xtreme
Nobody ever actually played those
Fallout 3, CoD4, and MGRR
The bad guys are literally the US government lmao

B-b-b-b-but The Quatering told me that "Boner culture" is so important to defend!

I guess this is what happens when you turn an unhealthy relationship with porn into part of your political identity.
ENTERTAINMENT HAS NO EFFECT ON PEOPLE THEY WOULD BE THE EXACT SAME WAY WITH OR WITHOUT THE TREAT
Apparently I got the wrong
but thats the reason MK9 is on their list. Because MK9 had very sexualized outfits for Kitana, Mileena, Skarlet, and Jade and later MK games toned that down significantly (to the betterment of the franchise in my opinion, even if my horny side did like the MK9 outfits at the time. Kitana, Jade, and Skarlet all are much better designed after their redesigns. Mileena is a bit more hit or miss but its not because she's desexualized).

Funny enough, my very gay older brother played them a lot. He was also just really into volleyball
These games are all either a handful of explicitly NOT conservative games, military shooters, a couple games that sexualize women, and then just "games I like".
Well... The main villain is black.
Something about using the power of God under direction of what's presumably a traditional monarchy to fight the forces of anarchy, also.
But mostly the main villain thing.
So the core of their ideology is "I LIKE KILLING THE OTHERFIED LESSERS. I IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE SAID BECAUSE KILLING THE LESSERS IS THAT EXCITING." I already knew that, but they're helpfully pointing it out.
Can you really call this the "conservative essentials" without gems like Custer's Revenge and Hatred?
The basic rimworld colony is basically anarcho communist, what the hell.
I think the dev got banned from his own subreddit for being wildly reactionary.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/o34v6h/factorio_founder_rages_about_cancel_culture_after/
Factorio definitely is. They promoted that “Uncle Bob” asshole. (Rimworld is too I think but I believe it’s to a less extent)
Oh no, is there something idk about them? I was not aware of them having any rightoid shit.
There was just a small controversy with the way the game handled character sexualities, which has been fixed. I don't think there was anything malicious there
Huh, I thought there was more than that, but reading up on it, it looks like it was kind of overblown. Maybe the rimredditors' love of cannibalism and organ farms got me mixed up or I was thinking of the Factorio guy.
It also has canonically trans backstories. Not from the developer, iirc it was an early sponsorship thing where if you funded the development you could create backstories that would be in the game
Yeah, it was from the name in the game thing. Ig they could have denied those backstories if they were chuds.
Ah yes, Silent Hill 3, where you play as a woman and perform an abortion on a god, where all the religious people are depicted as murderous lunatics and the most powerful deity in the game is a disabled woman.
Heather make me pp hard therefore game is for republicans.
Heather Mason got tired of women's clothing having no pockets, so she found an outfit made entirely of pockets instead.
She is hoarding the pockets. The other women need to execute her and distribute the pockets equally.
The funniest part is that the original tweet that triggered the chud was this

This is way too accurate. Every trans person I've known in person is really into Touhou, Persona, and Disco Elysium.
Also every leftist I've met is a Sonic enjoyer.

Okay, this list actually makes sense unlike that terrible conservativecore one lol. Although L*ague being on this list is pretty bad.
So OG Zelda is both trans and conservative? Also is 'Tell Me Why' any good, remember seeing the trailer for it then nothing else?
I liked it, but I like most of Dontnod's work. Not sure if it got as much traction in popular press as Life is Strange.
Storytelling is really good, but the fairly realistic graphical style didn't do it many favours either. It looks fairly generic at a glance I think.
Both lists have genuine bangers but yeah there's a fair amount of trash on the conservacore list while this list is bangers only.
The entire thought process was probably "lolis are in it".
But Touhou also showed up on the transcore games meme lol so
Aren't a lot of them maids? Even without the fetishy connotations, isn't that a sort of cutesy child labor?
That's why I asked. Maybe when I glanced into the fandom and made this face
what I saw was just thirsty weebs putting the child characters in maid outfits and assumed that was just the standard thing there.stories that are p*do pandering
Please tell me that this is just the bad side of the fandom making bad fanart/fanfics and not yet another "this franchise is really good as long as you ignore the creepy parts that are creeping on children" situation.
I'm glad. I may take a look... without the fandom overlay that put me off long ago.
I remember seeing you mention being an undertale fan so it might help you to know that Toby Fox was very inspired by Zun and has a good relationship with him. They basically work on things the same way (music first, then everything else to fit the music.) They're currently collaborating to remake a track from both series in the other's style at some point.
"this franchise is really good as long as you ignore the creepy parts that are creeping on children"
Imagine that feeling when Fire Emblem Awakening is like a top 30 or so game for you

"Oh senpai I am a lesbian and by that I mean I desperately want you to cure me of my lesbianism with a magic potion! Oh, you're playing a female protagonist? Suddenly I'm not interested in you in that way!"
I forget if Awakening is the one with that plotline but it does have the yandere stereotype character that is extremly problematic and worse it has fucking NOWI which is probably the worst pedobait "1000 year old dragon" Ive seen in a video game.
and worse it has fucking NOWI which is probably the worst pedobait "1000 year old dragon" Ive seen in a video game.
Nowi, due to the slow aging of manaketes, mostly acts like a child, but it is often done to cheer others up. She loves playing outside and is always looking for a playmate, though she explains to Nah that her constant playing around also serves as her training regimen. Upon joining the army, Nowi immediately understands her cheerful impact on the army and acts accordingly to keep the army's morale up. Despite this, Nowi is well aware of her Manakete status and, like Tiki, is afraid of being alone, knowing that one day, her human friends will die while she continues to live on for many more millennia, which is shown in her support with Vaike. Nevertheless, Nowi continues to live every day enjoying the time she has with everyone in the army.
Nowi has moments showing her maturity, especially with her children to whom she uses less childish language and makes sure to care for them and raise them the best that she can. This is particularly evidenced in her supports with Nah, where she is concerned with Nah's usage of her dragonstone to train, as it is too powerful and may negatively affect younger manaketes. In the following conversations, Nowi shows how much information she picks up while seemingly playing nonchalantly, as well as her ability to heed to her child's wishes and incorporate them into her guidance, earning Nah's respect naturally and making her change her initial thoughts about Nowi. Nowi is also shown to be very perceptive to the emotions of others, such as when she notices Nah's pent up sadness upon a glance and lets her cry in her arms.
In her DLC conversation with Tiki, Nowi is able to cheer Tiki up by changing Tiki's perspective of the world; Tiki deems her thoughts 'pure,' but in Nowi's other support conversations, it is revealed that Nowi has also had her share of pain and loss and has been struggling to come to terms with them for a long time, which in turn hints that the perspective Nowi offered was a product of long and deep thought. As Tiki is made to sleep for the majority of her time to seal her immense power as a dragon scion, it is possible that Nowi is the more experienced with the world.
Yeah the worst. Especially since to get her daughter you have to pair her off with someone and its like "do I pair her with one of the older seeming characters because 1000 years old or one of the younger ones because looks 12?". Either way it feels gross.

NINTENDO SO WHOLESOME NO PROBLEMATIC ANYTHING EVER
I lost track (and lost interest in the series) after the one with the touch-screen face-fondling "morale" minigame and the lesbian cure potion. I know there was always some sus gender politics and eugenics biotruthy themes throughout the series but that's where I put it down and never picked it back up again.
I think awakening was BEFORE the face fondling but I'm not sure. Its the only one Ive played lol.
The word "stories" was used twice, once for a very bad thing, once for a good thing, so I needed the clarification.
tfw they don't know abt the official book where Aya basically creates Fox News but for Gensokyo
Well since masculinity is a beacon of moral fortitude that everyone should be aspiring to It makes sense that even an incarnation of God would rather be a ninja than a princess.
/s
I would say a third of those games make sense.
Anything WW2, Shooters, and anything 40K related would be my assumptions. I would also throw in Madden. Top of the chud pile would be Call of Duty.
Oddly enough BioShock still has Ayn Rand fans despite the story. Naturally they can't understand that it is a deconstruction of Ayn Rand. They also say the only reason Rapture failed was because Ryan abandoned his ideals...
HE DID BECAUSE HE FUCKING HAD TO BECAUSE HE WAS LOSING UNDER HIS IDEALS. That is the entire point of that story. It's a self contradicting society.anything 40K related
Actually quite funny that they chose Space Marine because one of the universally hated characters in that is your rigidly doctrinaire squad member who refuses to deviate from the words of a 10,000 year old text even when they don't make sense in the current situation.
Sounds pretty conservative to me. They probably hate that character because they are an obstacle to their own goals, but otherwise they agree with that characters philosophy because they do the same thing regarding real world politics.
Once again, conservatives remain blind to the fact that they are being mocked.
It’s like with them and the Taliban — if it weren’t that they use a different thousand-year-old text, they’d probably be best buddies
There's a really concerning trend where the far right in the west is cosying up to what could be approximated as Islamic fascism (e.g. ISIS etc.)
They also have Darktide on there which, as much as I'm loving the game, is basically what this graphic is looking for.
You are essentially a penal battalion attached to an inquisitor's warband purging heretics like zombies from Left4Dead

I've heard similar libertarian capital-G G!merbros claim that Rapture was perfect until those damn plasmids and maybe Fontaine doing the AnCap shit unfairly.
I only vaguely remember but Bioshock 2 was kind of trying to both sides by making the antagonist a collectivist or something. Then Bioshock Infinite was both sidesing racism.
This is Disco Elysium erasure.
How dare you.
