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

What does this bad game attract right wingers for?

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.

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.

You are the only one who has mentioned any of this. Please don't fight ghosts.
