Seriously. Every form of entertainment has baked-in political assumptions, and that definitely includes #ttrpg . You might choose not to examine them, but this is an active choice on your part, and you don’t get to pretend that your entertainment is “free of politics”.
If you want mindless slop, then play it. It certainly exists. Real art and proper storytelling makes you feel things and reflects the the world we live in.
You can have a story without AI slop or politics.
I wasn’t talking about AI slop. With “slop,” I meant mindless games that don’t take any position on anything.
IMHO, the best games are ones that make you feel something or question something critically. You can have games that make a political statement and are fun to play. Helldivers, GTA, BioShock, Disco Elysium, etc. If you’re uncomfortable with the point that a game is making, then that’s on you (and is the point of OPs comic).
There are certainly plenty of games that take no political stance on anything that I’m sure you can numb your mind with. Just play something else if you are feeling too judged.
