Okay, long story short: I know how hard-left this sub is, and I’m pretty much to the left myself. I can’t stand crooked law enforcement. I fiercely support Black Lives, and I think we need reform badly. But I happen to enjoy some movies/shows/games that have police characters. And I’m getting beyond fed up seeing a certain game (Disco Elysium) that impacted me so much get attacked from the left in this manner. Basically, I don’t agree with how some in the hard left keep holding it up as “cop propaganda” or “fascist”, which it isn’t, and people accusing it of “getting political allegories wrong” when in reality, the game is an allegory for prejudice as a whole. Like, I don’t find crap like this funny. I find it infuriating. Because it’s not true. It’s not “police apologism” because the police department is depicted as inept and a puppet of the neoliberal world order in many ways, and the story contains a moral against the corrupt neoliberalism. Now for some reason, the “NP” link option isn’t working, but I discussed this before in BreadTube and CompleteAnarchy. I’m asking you how you feel about this because I once encountered a thread in this sub mocking Kim Katsuragi, doing the whole “ACAB” thing, and I was legit upset by it. If you think I’m some kind of idiot, weirdo or loser for getting so emotional about a game aimed at gamers that’s part of a company that’s your right. But people have been sharing “ Kim’s a pig, smash the state” memes in the Disco Elysium sub. And as someone who can’t play through certain scenes in the game without crying my eyes out, they really bothered me and I didn’t think they were fair at all.
Do not fuck kim
