Bioshock and MGR are explicitly anti-conservative, the chuds are just too dumb to notice it again.

STALKER: ShoC's story is too mid 2000s shooter to be taken seriously by any means but having said that I do not get how you get conservative out of it unless you start at brainworms. ShoC paints the anarchists as the only thing keeping the zone from being genocided by the monolith while the law and order folks occasionally shoot some dogs in a safe zone.

People taking reactionary interpretations of MGR kills me. "Nah man, in the end you realize Armstrong was based" or whatever.

They made Senator Armstrong too cool, they gave him a sick character design and voice and made it too easy for stupid people to go "he has a point you know" but I agree that MGR is also not intentionally conservative

Chuds hear Armstrong say "Make America Great Again" and go woooooaaw.

I see my smoking hot, eyeliner-wearing, robot ninja man tell Armstrong he's a moron and literally rip his heart out while also recognizing the entire point of the game is an EXTREMELY obvious critique of post 9/11 US foreign policy and the war economy writ large.
