I'm not a fan of political activism in any of the arts or entertainment... but the fact of the matter is that we see it all the time in TV, Movies, Music, and even video games have political overtones (LGBT, war and human rights etc.). The fact of the matter is that games are late to the party, and it doesn't surprise me that those who are successful are using their success to promote their point of view. I can't say that I agree or disagree, only that I think that everyone has their right to disagree.
Lets start burning books, video games, classic movies... hell lets never play "Baby It's Cold Outside..." by Dean Martin again because some political activists tell me it's the oppression of women. (WOW have we really gotten this out of hand... yes we have) To put this in perspective Der Frieschutz (German Classic Opera) insinuates hedonism, mating with the devil, and other topics and we still think of it as a "CLASSIC". We've reverted to lesser times in society all for the fear of offending 'someone', 'somewhere' out there.
*Note: I wanted to post a picture of "HOGANS HEROES" the first and original double face palm, but I was afraid of the political and social overtones... how sad is that?!
