You appear to be taking any sort of interpretation one can make regarding a game and then calling it propaganda

2018-08-13 18:40:57 UTC  

Which is not useful

2018-08-13 18:41:02 UTC  

The later ME games had some shit in them I would call minor propaganda

2018-08-13 18:41:08 UTC  

Which is why I suggested it this way.

2018-08-13 18:41:09 UTC  

unintentional

2018-08-13 18:41:28 UTC  

Imo the ass creed american revolution edition was propagandist as fuck

2018-08-13 18:41:32 UTC  

Okay you know what game I was gonna put forward as "propaganda"?

2018-08-13 18:41:36 UTC  

A) that's not a thing
B) you undermine the actual term by misusing it

2018-08-13 18:41:39 UTC  

Or propagandaistic?

2018-08-13 18:41:44 UTC  

you could say any game with a morality system is propaganda then.

2018-08-13 18:41:47 UTC  

Oh, I thought of a good game that is propaganda: Genital Jousting

2018-08-13 18:41:58 UTC  

Any game that does not have morality choices

2018-08-13 18:42:00 UTC  

Not even joking, gimme a second

2018-08-13 18:42:07 UTC  

And pushes the idea that the character is you.

2018-08-13 18:42:15 UTC  

i cant think of a word, its a motorized vehicle but with only 2 wheels

2018-08-13 18:42:28 UTC  

better not use the term motorized vehicle though, im undermining the term

2018-08-13 18:42:38 UTC  

http://freelives.net/the-many-questions-of-genital-jousting/
```we like to think of the game as a trojan horse - a way to deliver a sex positive message to an audience that might never get to hear it otherwise. We have feelings to explore, and things to say, and by wrapping them in a big joke, we're hoping to sneak some of our ideas past the watchful gaze of unsuspecting cis-het dudes.```

2018-08-13 18:42:41 UTC  

You'd better call it a car because that's easier

2018-08-13 18:42:49 UTC  

That sounds like propaganda to me

2018-08-13 18:42:50 UTC  

Or a helicopter

2018-08-13 18:42:57 UTC  

with 2 wheels it would be a motorcycle i think

2018-08-13 18:43:01 UTC  

i could be wrong

2018-08-13 18:43:04 UTC  

Thatathejoke

2018-08-13 18:43:11 UTC  

You wouldn't call a motorcycle a car

2018-08-13 18:43:21 UTC  

So don't call games with thematic components propaganda

2018-08-13 18:43:45 UTC  

i am looking for a word, its like a motorcycle, but it has 4 wheels and puts you into a giant metal and glass container to carry you around in

2018-08-13 18:44:01 UTC  

better not use the term motorcycle though, might undermine the term

2018-08-13 18:44:08 UTC  

Yes, don't.

2018-08-13 18:44:13 UTC  

Are you playing limbo with the point right now?

2018-08-13 18:44:29 UTC  

hold on

2018-08-13 18:44:40 UTC  

Use your words to describe the concept if no word exists specifically to describe it. We have a robust language, so use it to its fullest extent.

2018-08-13 18:44:59 UTC  

good lord this is stupid, I'm done here and going to ~~kill some villain in a game~~ subject myself to propaganda

2018-08-13 18:45:12 UTC  

doesn't something being unintentional mean it cannot be propaganda? as part of the definition of propaganda is that it is done intentionally.

2018-08-13 18:45:16 UTC  

Yes

2018-08-13 18:45:18 UTC  

But Genital Jousting is propaganda for sure.
```

Genital Jousting is largely about disarming masculinity. In a patriarchal society, penises are associated with power. They are considered the dominant sexual organ. But in Genital Jousting, they are often the butt of the joke```

2018-08-13 18:45:26 UTC  

That's what I've been saying, @Grenade123

2018-08-13 18:45:28 UTC  

unintentionally intentional

2018-08-13 18:46:08 UTC  

I make funny penis game heehee to save the world from toxic masculinity

2018-08-13 18:46:09 UTC  

you can start with term A, which has mandetory connotations 1 and 2 and 3, and say that in stead of connotation 2 you actually mean connotation 2*, which changes term A to what you do mean, without damaging anything about term A, as you just tried to describe a word you didnt know a word for

2018-08-13 18:46:31 UTC  

however, if someone is so brand-washed, all they know is propaganda, can they make propaganda without intentionally meaning to do so?

2018-08-13 18:46:40 UTC  

You can't use the antithesis of a thing to directly describe a thing
