At this point I get more annoyed when the group doesn’t want to engage with the politics that are already there.

Like an old group ran a story about how some people wanted to put the dead king’s baby son in the throne instead of his adult daughter because he’s a boy. No one in the group even blinked. Just swallowed it whole. I’m just like this is completely fiction we don’t have to do monarchy and we certainly don’t have to do literal patriarchy.

No one really seemed to want to engage with that part of the story.

I miss my old group. They helped stop a counter revolution from restoring a despotic king to power. And had a shitty mayor get removed from office via a recall election.

Fallout fans not picking up on the overt anticapitalist messaging be like

“I hate when people force politics into stories and media. I wish they’d do more stuff like [insert IP with well-known and/or obvious political themes and references].”
