Watch Lemmy turn one of the few apolitical posts about something American into something political in 3… 2… 1…
Politics is important but sometimes I just want to play a video game without someone turning the conversation to politics when that wasn’t the topic at hand at all. I’m super angry about all the things my country is doing now too, but I also sometimes want to enjoy what I have left instead of being constantly stressed about it and bringing up the horrors happening at every opportunity—especially with just a comment about if a truck driving sim that seems to be mostly just about driving will suddenly implement something political and unpleasant (when we know they probably will not, that’s not the vibe they are going for) and no links to taking action. (Here are a few, albeit aimed at Americans.
On the other hand, people have to vent sometimes and I guess I need to build up tolerance and a thicker skin to that, even when it shows up in a place marked Games and not US Politics.
