Cis-Het Oppressor
If you are an insecure ideologue who feels uncomfortable outside your echo chamber, you’ll find something in the game to trigger you.
If you’re a relatively rational human being, you’ll see that all political commentary in the game is tongue in cheek and there are no favorites being played.
While that may be true, the shoe is rarely on the other foot for progressives, since the overwhelming majority of Western computer game developers are progressives themselves.
In other words, if you're progressive, you almost certainly don't know what it's like to have an opposing ideology constantly shoehorned into your computer games. It's understandable (although unfortunate) that this systematic, zealous preachiness may cause some conservative-minded people to overreact to perceived shoehorning. In addition, progressives frequently downplay or outright deny the existence of said ideological shoehorning, which doesn't help matters. (For example, if half or more of a game's portrayed cast are gay or queer for no reason other than muh inclusiveness, that is an indisputable sign of ideological shoehorning.)
As for DE itself, it's impossible for me to know whether conservative posters are overreacting or if progressive posters are being delusional/deceitful, since I haven't played it yet; but I'm an excellent judge of such things, so I'm sure I'll be revisiting this thread at some point in the future.
