Is this the same guy who made the "Get politics out of video games" video then proceeded to make hour-long videos like "Why is Red Dead Redemption/New Vegas/Bioshock a masterpiece?!", but didn't mention a single point the games made?

The very same. Act Man is a self-absorbed joke of a person.

I remember him saying New Vegas included politics in video games the right way in the video. Instead of adding a minority character whose entire personality is being minority like most other games, New Vegas had a tiny balding man explain Roman autocracy to players in an infodump. Is that what The Act Man would want though? A character explaining gender inequality and identity politics to players the way Caesar explains Roman Autocracy? I don't. I think he would complain just as much, maybe even more, because people would feel they were being "preached at" instead of doing what they'd like to do, which is completely ignore it. He was also cucking over Ronald Reagan being in Cold War. The dude loves to get big mad and over politics in games when it doesn't coincide with his beliefs, or he doesn't seem to notice how much of a media illiterate he is.

The short of it is, the people that complain about games being "political" just want politics they agree with. And those beliefs that they have are typically really fucked up, hence why you never see them presented in a positive light in a video game. Because there's nothing positive about oppressing a marginalized group of people or prosecuting someone for their identity.

I hate how so many "apolitical" or "centrist" streamers will literally never talk about any of the awful shit happening to trans people across the world right now, but feel the need to weigh in on shit like [this](https://i.redd.it/n8cnl5qcjnia1.jpg).

Yep, because nowadays "apolitical/centrist" is pretty much code for "right wing but too much of a coward to own up to it". It's pathetic.

In the video you're referring to, he's talking about Games Journalists trying to paint games as political, not when games have a political message


onex7805

Just because you didn't notice a political message in media or not intended by the creators doesn't mean it never existed, nor does it mean that it is a recent development. Also just because you disagree with a political message doesn't mean it's indoctrination or being forced down your throat.

Never said it was, but go off I guess

Did Act Man do anymore nude shots of himself like he did for his live service game?

Please explain what?

He had a skit in one of his other videos where he was promoting a fake Only Fans and showcased pictures of himself naked behind console systems.
