So then every game is unintentional propaganda because people can make any interpretation.
mario could be unintentional propaganda for lizards cucking you with a princess, like loping seems to think
literally any interpretation
does life imitate art, or art imitate life
i believe that is called "projecting", "cherry picking", and "product of the times"
Kind of silly to call every piece of art in the world propaganda.
i dono
at the very least its hedonism propaganda
idk what you'd call "inserting meaning that was never there to being with"
This sounds a lot like the shit that Polygon and the like talk about with 'all games are political'
partaking in the best things in life
You're just talking about applicability my dude
i mean, in the US i think we call that english class /s
Pushing a hoop with a stick is hedonist propaganda
all games are political, just not intentionally so
Eating is existential propaganda
What are the politics of Pong?
the argument "Everything is political" is why the world sucks now
No, not all games are political. People apply ideas to games
Regardless of the intent of the developers
you kinda remind me of the Polygon that keeps insisting how this and that game is political and commentary on Trump despite everyone and their developer being 'wat ?'
Oh iirc BioShock 1 is legit propaganda as well, if you like that one
presenting a hand to hello is me offering a hand in greeting, not enforcing the patriarchy because i was the one to initiate contact with a female and feel entitled to her taking my hand in greeting
its like the post moderists think
It is.
you can interpret anything any way
which is TRUE
but to say all of them are equall
THAT IS FALSE
That doesn't make the thing political though
It means you're viewing it politically
But is it worth giving more than a brief consideration to those interpretations when they're riddled with holes?
could be fun
i dont see why not
i enjoy em
like that doctor who ep from the latest season that was anti immegrant
i had a laugh
It's one thing to say "I interpret Mario as being about the helplessness of women" and another to say "Mario is actually about the helplessness of women"
btw, assuming the word you provided is the one i was searching for beemann, doesnt that indicate that me describing something using a term vastly different from the word i intented, and giving clarification to modify the term.. that my method worked? that is functional
makes it better then other nonsensical interpretations
