      Right wing shitheads co-opt the discussion around bad videogames to spread their bullshit.

        I think The World vs US Trumpistan also has a bit to do this. Far righters are rallying around Trump these days and therefore non-American or non-America-aligned = bad. Honestly, the logic behind this is so bizarre that they catch many people off guard which is why it’s so successful.

          They’ll find anything to turn everything into conservative, anti-woke propaganda. I’m this case, though, it’s because there is a black guy.

            Not just a black guy, but one of the most famous and popular characters in portrayals of the time period, in a franchise that shoehorns in every historical figure even remotely related to each game’s setting. But of course this time it’s suddenly too much.
