I’m really developing a violent reaction to the “video games are escapism” line.

Like, that’s all the art form is to you? A means to escape your life and turn off those dumbass noises in your head for a while?

Also,

People who hide behind the word “escapism” are absolutely the sort of people who will go off on a rant about how places like China or Russia or [insert target country here] are full of unthinking drones that wouldn’t dream of contradicting the status quo. :projection:

The main goal of the Nazi film policy was to promote escapism, which was designed to distract the population and to keep everybody in good spirits; Goebbels indeed blamed defeat in World War I on the failure to sustain the morale of the people.

What a dumbass. Not only did he want to reduce art to a distraction, but his analysis of the war is also completely wrong. What no material analysis does to a mf

That’s what the Bolsheviks want you to think. In reality, Germany was one apolitical video game away from establishing the Kaiserreich over Europe.

Don’t trans people have the right to escape from transphobia also? Flip it on their heads.
