it's usually dumb things like taylor swift being maga or the last of us being about israel and palestine. sure art is inherently political, but gdamn I can assure you that both are genuinely not that deep. taylor swift simply folds to whatever bf she has and the last of us creator probably didn't know about the israel and palestine conflict when he made the game. it's just a lot when people deep dive when it's literally unnecessary
like of all the things you couldve mentioned, a billionaire white woman getting married to a kansas football player who literally was manufactured from birth to be a celebrity who, financially, will obviously side with conservatives, and socially will side with her more than likely conservative upbringing and now more than likely conservative to be husband. and a game with an israeli creator to say he didnt know about israel
see what i'm saying that's all slightly annoying lol you just HAD to bring it further. sure taylor swift is those things, but very simply she kinda just folds to her bf. neil is israeli, sure, but did he actively actually know about the conflict to the point he wanted to make an entire game about it? i'd save the average person wouldn't do that or know enough even if they are israeli. it's gotten heightened in recent years. this whole convo is annoying to have like it's dumb
"you had to bring it futher" brother these people do not exist in a void. druckmann has LITERALLY SAID THE GAME WAS DEVISED AFTER SEEING VIOLENCE IN ISRAEL. "sometimes the curtains are blue" YEA AND SOMETIMES IF YOU PULL THE CURTAINS THEYRE A GIANT FUCKIN ISRAELI FLAG BECAUSE ITS THAT SHADE OF BLUE
omg i'm a republican because i'm annoyed that my favorite game is cancelled because the creator is suddenly a zionist because even though it has been out for YEARS people JUST decided it wasn't ok to play because it's supporting israel omg do you not see how this is all kinda fucking annoying dude
people "just deciding" is literally just the mainstream being aware of it for the first time. just like people becoming pro palestine in 2023 because they became aware of it for the first time. idk how youre dragging "oh my favorite game is cancelled" bitch this was about you contesting the game being israeli by saying "the curtains are blue, unrelated to anything". be aware what made it. "man i love subtle pro israel messaging but thank god i can say the curtains are just blue"
omg you're literally proving my point about how it's just simply annoying. sure I can be aware, but it is simply annoying to be told every single time you enjoy something or like something that it has some deep political implications. it is annoying to live a life where if i'm drinking a soda from mcdonald's someone has to say "you know they support israel" like FUCK I JUST WANTED A COKE it's ANNOYING ok like god IM AWARE BUT PLZ ITS ANNOYINGGGGGGG
"sometimes the curtains are just blue" "the last of us creator probably didnt know about the israel and palestine conflict" dude. you dont exist in a void. you consume pro israel media, and then contest it because it makes you uncomfortable. the writer himself HAS SAID IT IS THAT DEEP. THE WRITER HAS SAID IT DOES HAVE DEEP POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS. AND YOU REFUSE IT BECAUSE YOURE UNCOMFORTABLE. "ITS ANNOYING" YES. YOURE UNCOMFORTABLE. BEING AWARE MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE AND SO YOU REJECT IT.
it's annoying because it is a video game brother. we can talk about israel, sure, but it is a video game. it's annoying because it is a video game and you're taking it so much deeper. I just want to enjoy a video game. that's all. a video game. I want to take the video game for what it is and enjoy it, but if I do, I am a republican zionist. that's annoying. this is why republicans are irritated asf with us. talk about israel and the atrocities and don't cancel a video game.
if it didnt make you uncomfortable, you would have been responding with "wow. i didnt know my favorite game was written with deeply political intent. i guess the curtains werent simply blue" but no, you said "its so annoying this is cancel culture its just a video game he probably didnt know its not that deep"
omg brother fantastic great idc it's a video game and taylor swift I just wanna be able to enjoy my life and these silly things without being bombarded by people like you for how those things make me bad because of the political implications of them like i don't feel like expressing my thoughts further bc it's all gdamn annoying now
"i do not care enough about the video game to talk about it" you said it was your favorite game. like dude the point of your post was "hey it isnt political sometimes things just are how they are" but when youre told thats not true to the examples you brought up, youre not annoyed at the examples youre annoyed at me
ok imma end with this - art is inherently political which is why this shit gets brought up so much. ok neil admitted that, but an average person probably didn't know as MUCH and it's HIS experience. it is my fav video game, but it is not that important bc it is a video game. i'm not denying anything, I said israel sucks & cool the game was written that way, but im still gonna like it. i'm annoyed at you, yes, because I don't feel like having deep political talks about objectively
unimportant things like video games. that's where the annoyance comes into play. republicans (and me!) are annoyed with cancel culture because they suddenly aren't allowed (or feel like they're not allowed) to like the things they do because they have political implications which art typically does. it's hard when I just want to like things, but get told it's not ok bc of the political implications
sometimes a video game is JUST a video game. that's what I mean when I say the curtains are blue. if you don't get that then idk what to tell you. to me it isn't a political message and that is why it is annoying. yes be aware, but at the end of the day it's a dumb video game and talking about it this much is annoying bc it's not something that needs to be this deep dived into
holy hell i'm sorry goodnight dude. i'm not doing this. you're trying very hard and I applaud you and you're gonna think i'm running away and that's fine. you simply are unable to understand what I am trying to say and you think you do, but you don't. that's fine. plz just let it be bc you don't get it and i'm not good at explaining to help you get it
