If taking the side of the oppressor means I get to oppress this woke dipshit then I'm 100% on board.

...and idk how many times we're gonna have to say Karl Marx's political philosophy is juvenile and doesn't reflect the reality of how the world works. The world isn't comprised of oppressors and the oppressed Phoebe, she's just not into you.

No comrade the inevitable communist victory is represented in the red shells homing capability. You can delay the revolution with a banana peel or green shell representing colonialism and the environmental destruction of turtles by capitalism but more will come. And if you get to first place you'll get nuked by the blue shell this represents the police protecting capitalism by destroying anyone who works their way into the upper class through meritocracy. The fact it's thrown by someone lower on the ladder is symbolic of the proletariats destroying themselves by fighting amongst each other for the top spot only to win some shiny cup that one cannot drink out of.

Mario wears red and has a moustache and is clearly a representative of Joseph Stalin. Why the communist imagery is so strong that you'd have to be blind not to see it. The mushroom people all dress the same and live in a non-patriarichal society of total equality where the individual is indistinguishable from the state which is ruled by a benevolent dictatorship of the proletariat through the toadstool princess, but the society is destroyed by the evil capitalist turtles by introducing coinage and subverting the state by capturing the benevolent non-patriarichal ruler and replacing her with a monster that uses the military industrial complex to manufacture large numbers of hammers and bullet launchers only for the working class plumber to rise up and overthrow the capitalistic patriarchal oppression and bring back utopian female rulership.

Why you'd have to inflexible and rigid to be unable to stretch enough to see this obvious connection.

Their brains destroyed. They are obsessed with political woke bullshit. Every time they fail, they blame their critics and double down.

Politics at its most basic definition are the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, especially the debate between parties having power.

If you're so emotionally loaded that a leisure activity meant to unload stress is instead a constant struggle for power and governance then I simply pity you.

I trully, genuinely pity you.

You're either a complete sperg, a learned sperg, had miserable childhood or have such miserable life that you simply lost the ability to feel joy in life.

We both could play Spyro 2: Ripto Rage and I'd have a blast playing a collecta-thon with a light hearted story while you would sperg out over Ripto's toxic masculinity and Hunter's cuck status.

Seek help.

They would be literally shaking and crying the first time they encounter Moneybags.

And this is why woke culture is so dangerous. It tries to infect everything.

Just because retards like this can’t function without inserting leftie propaganda into everything doesn’t mean normal functioning people can’t.

Which mario kart?

[–]BISH 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Mario Kart 8 with the lemniscate for an 8.

It's about the rat race of life, and we're all compelled to participate.

Eventually that blue shell will catch you.
Also, I just got the blue shell.

This is why I only buy older games now. Like if I get reminded of a game that I wanted when I was a kid but couldn't have at the time. New video games seem to be like all the new movies coming out lately. Just woke garbage.

Most new games are crap not because of the woke garbage so much as they're carefully constructed corporately bland money making machines that lack much creativity.

Exceptions nevertheless exist. But it's rare I've had a game ruined by "woke garbage". Usually the woke games are garbage to begin with since they go with a message first philosophy. It's just like bad christian fundamentalist movies. I'll watch and enjoy a well crafted interesting movie with a philosophical position I disagree with but for these sorts of films they always consider the message to be more interesting than the story which makes for long boring slogs of poorly thought out scenarios that exist only so the protagonist can signal their virtue to the audience.

Which is why woke games rarely make it past the beta if they can get there at all. They don't know how to make the game in the first place.

About the only woke shit I've seen creep into mainstream games recently has been changing the "sex" option from "male" and "female" to "body type 1" "body type 2"

Which is retarded of course but anyone who gives much of a fuck about character creators in general is an idiot. Who gives a fuck what your in game avatar looks like?

Hence the narcissists spend so much time making a character that looks like their idealized version of themselves they don't actually play the game.

Last game I played that had that crap was some star wars piloting game and it was so silly. Who gives a fuck what your pilot looks like in a spaceship game. You can't see them. Other people can't see them. What's the point? Spent all of 5 seconds on the avatar creator.

Oh, fuck off Phoebe. No one cares if you live or die, let alone if a TTRPG company doesn't listen to you

Nah, these nutjobs like to claim that stuff like Mario Kart is political because Princess Peach exists and therefore the games make a statement about how monarchy is actually OK.

I'm serious, I've seen that argument before.

There's some good shitpost out there about Mario being a communist.

when the game stops being fun, it's time to play the meta
