I have never seen a fascist game with good writing. And by fascist I mean like full fascist. Yes libs can write OK sometimes. And yes scratch a lib etc. etc. But if you look at the most infamous /pol/ type games it's all shock value "kill [insert marginalized group]" simulators and Machiavellian grindset zero sum strategy games.

would you believe that reactionaries have no imagination?
get out of town.
not only do they lack imagination, they have a different conception of what art is supposed to be. Art is meant to be purely surface level instructive slop meant for immediate consumption and then disposal. Its aesthetic value comes from only how closely it communicates a reactionary worldview. Look at all the very bland movies the Nazis made, where the plot is always something like a nice German man has a nice German wife and they're very normal. Look at modern American country music and how banal it is.
