the fact that polygon or really anyone on either side of the spectrum is getting mad at how its game presented its politics well its pretty stupid. all it does is just remind me of how made the alt-right trolls got mad when the newest wolfenstine game came out because nazis were being killed as if killing nazis were a bad thing and as if that hasnt been the main purpose of the series since the 19fucking80s. i'm a pretty hard core liberal but i'm not getting mad when the game is making fun of liberal, i dont care, i find the game enjoyable. <br><br>when you get down to it what is Joseph? a religious zealot, and there is plenty of current events and tons of historical context that prove religious zealots are just some of the worst type of people. they make life hell for anyone who is not them.  but he is not a xenophobe or a racist which 1 or both tend to be the traits of religious zealots which is why he's also such an effect cult leader and why along with his charisma you see such diverse amount of people following him. honestly he acts a lot like David Koresh, the Waco leader, he was very charismatic, and while the outside world saw him as crazy and he totally was, something clearly clicked otherwise so many people wouldnt have followed him.<br><br>and even still the game isnt saying religion is bad one of the coolest characters in this game is a pastor, a leader of the resistance and a good man. when you get down to it you dont know the political or religious views of your partners you enter the game with and since you're in Montana you can guess more or less what the political and religious views are of the populous is and at the end of the day it doesnt matter, EVERYONE is being attacked and taken advantage of these zealous assholes and all can agree they need to be stopped.
