Can We Keep Politics Out of Gaming?
🕑 Added 2015-05-01 14:18:56 +0000 UTC I've been working on this for AGES. Started scripting maybe a month ago, then went through a long process of editing that before recording the video, with a ton of animation work and video editing to cap things off. Still, I wanted to do a good job of this, as - while I know it will attract attention from the wrong sorts of people - I'd like to think that a handful of people might have their minds changed, or least opened a little bit. Traditional fun stuff will resume shortly, and I'm aware that this is almost a flipping educational video (which is weird!) but it was something I really wanted to make. Hope you like it! Matt x

I like the angle you take on these types of issues (typically), presenting it as a discussion (as much as a monologue can be)of ideas/philosophy instead of feigning academic authority regarding psychology, sociology, et al. Most of the problems people run into when they speak about these issues (on either side) is the pretense of absolute knowledge. Great video Matt.

Very well put. We can't "keep politics out" of anything, but the real question is: Why would we want to? I'm reminded of this quote: "Geeks like to think they can ignore politics; you can leave politics alone, but politics won't leave you alone." --Richard Stallman
