Blue shells in mario cart are communist propaganda

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Tetris is Russian propaganda that teaches children doing good work is pointless as it will just be taken away and you'll be forced to do it again until you do it half assed.

Satisfactory promotes a good work ethic, no problem here.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

Streamlining and optimizing work, fixing technical debt and killing bugs. Yup, looks good

[–] Commiunism@beehaw.org 18 points 4 days ago

Disco Elysium features communism and communists (bad) but also has a couple of homosexuals (a secret cabal of organized people dead-set on destroying the ideals of nuclear family) as characters. I'd suggest you guys avoid the game at all costs, it's too dangerous.

Balatro is E for everyone 10+ in freedom ratings. We don't give any shits about gambling imagery over here (Yes, I know balatro is not gambling and the PEGI rating is BS).

Good Christian Americans would never go anywhere near gambling or gambling paraphernalia.

What about if you're gambling for Jesus?

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 8 points 5 days ago

well if it’s a church raffle or charity slot machines then that’s fine

You wouldn't steal a casino!

Crash Bandicoot got me hooked on crystals

Final Fantasy

Minecraft has subliminal woke propaganda (there are splashes that appear on the title screen, some of them being pro-LGBTQ+)

There is also a really huge proportion of Minecraft modders that are trans which may be because of the woke subliminal messaging

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Diablo 3 had a rainbow in it somewhere, clearly woke garbage.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

ironic given how transphobic and homophobic notch is.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 8 points 4 days ago

Him selling it was probably the best thing to happen to Minecraft.

Imagine if JK Rolling didn't just license Harry Potter, but actually sold the IP

The Magic School Bus is an affront to God™ because it contains both evil magics and education.

[–] ranandtoldthat@beehaw.org 9 points 5 days ago

They also have a book about human evolution. 😵

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

Super Mario Bros promotes the consumption of psychedelics.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pokémon taught children everywhere that if they enter strangers' houses without warning, the strangers might randomly give them useful objects that help them in life.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

See: every RPG ever.

Harvest Moon teaches that everybody can own land and live a good life self-sustainable off of his own work.

What other video games have been secretly eroding the very fabric of American society?

You do realise that PEGI stands for Pan European Game Information, right?

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 21 points 5 days ago

I think you might have missed that this question is sarcastic and the intent was to prompt stupid interpretations of video games. i.e. Mario Kart is communist because it only gives the lower class (losers) access to the deadliest weapon (the blue shell) in order to take out the upper class (the leader)

Then why is the acronym in American then. There ain’t no countries in the EU that speak American. /s

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 4 points 5 days ago

And the game itself was made by a Canadian, while we're at it.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

The Sims. It's an affront to God that a human gets to play God if they're not a billionaire or religious Christian leader.

Spore. That game is another affront to God because it teaches the harmful idea that creatures can change through evolution, which goes against God because He created all creatures and they have never ever changed and obviously look the exact same as they did when he created the Earth 6k years ago.

Mortal Kombat on SNES. Hilary Clinton said it's a super realistic violent video game and since then there has never been anything near as violent. That game is the most violent game to ever exist and there is nothing that will ever top it.

And finally, the worst game of all:

/S

carmageddon got a sequel a few years ago and nobody batted an eye. kinda makes you miss the old days.

Tip: Don't post when you're high.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah they're the best kinds of post

[–] 30p87 1 points 1 day ago

I figured as much now.

I was high myself as I commented this.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 days ago

Someone hid the sharpies from them.

this, according to my teachers who hated me missing all that homework because of it

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 6 points 5 days ago

I Was A Teenage Exocolonist

[–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Definitely not Rust. Very wholesome game.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't find that one story where a guy was having a lot of fun being kidnapped. They roleplayed for like an hour.

[–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Might have been Reksmore. They added handcuffs and a headbag recently. For wholesome adventures, of course.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

It was definitely the first persistent survival game that taught me I don't have the time or energy for that genre.
