what is your art if it’s not engaging with the issues of the time? What is your art if you’re claiming that it’s not political? Because the point of art is to tell the truth, and you’re lying.

Say what? Are they referring to just a specific type of art, like political art?

I think this person means non partisan, because Metal Gear Solid is filled with political intrigue.

Man... Read the title as "Politicians" at first and was like "I could have been teabagging Trump and not even know it."

I see a Helldiver I up vote.

For Liberty!

But on a serious note, something as obvious as "Managed Democracy" and quitting your job by signing up for "Early Biovat Reprocessing" and the characters literally saying things like "HELLDIVERS NEVER DIE!" Before being obliterated by a 380? It's satire. Satire is funny. Like hahaha look at stupid Facist regime, I'll role play along to get into the mood of the game because the idea is so fucking dumb it's funny with amazing gameplay.

It's willful ignorance at some point. I don't think media literacy has much to do with it. It's simply listening for what they want to hear, then ignoring the rest, just as real facists desire.
