Why not?

If you think the political message isn’t core to that movie then, well, you’re one of the dipshits being discussed

No need to be rude.

I didn’t watch fight club. I have no idea what it’s about. If it is intended to educate people on political issues, great. If it is intended to entertain and only discusses political issues subtly in the background, great. If it is intended to entertain, but fails at doing so because of presenting a political message in a manner that hinders entertainment, not great.

said by people who only know of this because today we talk about that message

So what you’re saying is that those games didn’t shove their message down people’s throat while modern games do? That while they did have a political message, they didn’t make it core to the experience and presented it in a way that allowed people who only wanted to play to completely ignore it?
