Saw someone claim that games didn't use to have political content. Seems like bollocks. Final Fantasy 7? Too many to name? I think people just didn't notice because they were kids and controversy stirring was less of a thing.

Back then it was mainly outsiders being upset about games perhaps? I remember Commando Libya, Cannon Fodder and also the whole satanism panic...

@androidarts [strokes navel-length beard] sonny, let me tell you about being an RPGer in the 1980s.

@androidarts Even the game that became Monopoly was political...

@androidarts Almost every Final Fantasy period is a fight against fascism, god, or both. Usually both. Very apolitical.
