Of course it's political. Politics aren't just about things where there can be legitimate disagreement.
Acknowledging climate change is political. So is everything from basic public transport, better healthcare to if sexism and racism are even a thing.
It shouldn't be. We also shouldn't have a resurgence of actual fascists. But we do and it is.
Acknowledging reality is political? I mean I guess I knew that already, but seeing it put plainly into words is silly.
Shit, I'll see if I can pose as a right wing grifter and see if I can convince them that wearing matching socks is part of the liberal agenda.
If everything is political then it's impossible to make a game that isn't political. This is no more valid than someone complaining that including an option for skin tone is political.
