Famously conservative video games Bioshock and Metal Gear Rising.
Metal Gear Rising really is the funniest one on this list. The game’s main antagonist is Dick Cheney with nanomachines who verbatim says he wants to “Make America Great Again” a full two years before the Trump campaign starts. You kill an insane amount of cops. One of the bosses, who is shown to be nothing more than a psychopath who enjoys war, wants the world to go back to “the good old days after 9/11” when arms manufacturers could do anything they wanted. It portrays a world where war is nothing but a vehicle for profit, and the main characters realises he wants nothing to do with this, leaves his PMC outfit, and fights for himself against these evil corporations. It’s not subtle, in the slightest. I have no idea how you can read this game as conservative.

I guess I can never underestimate the shockingly low level of media literacy in our beloved modernity, huh.
Who wants to help me crowdfund a bribe to Trump’s speechwriter to have him say the entire Senator Armstrong monolog at a rally?
There’s no way Trump could ever stick to a speech — you get the comedy gold by winging it
Still wouldnt top Herman Cain plagiarizing Pokémon
Alright I’m downloading this.
Shit I have to play that
don’t do hard difficulty lol I couldn’t get past one of the earliest areas I’m gonna have to start over.
wants the world to go back to “the good old days after 9/11”
lmao I forgot that was an actual quote from the game and not a Max0r joke.

sorry, buy I’m only listing the essentials

I nominate Skate 3 for this list, as you can choose an AK47 for your team logo
How the fuck do I remember Cartoon Networks summer resort better than anything else on this list?
deleted by creator
spider solitaire
ski free?
hyrule warriors definitive edition
Hell yeah
banjo-kazooie: grunty’s revenge
oh my god, I didn’t know there was a 3rd Banjo-Kazooie game
Darktide
DoA Xtreme
Nobody ever actually played those
Fallout 3, CoD4, and MGRR
The bad guys are literally the US government lmao
Darktide, a game about killing militant antivaxxers.
DoA Xtreme
Nobody ever actually played those
B-b-b-b-but The Quatering told me that “Boner culture” is so important to defend!
deleted by creator
Did he actually call it that?
It was a different (as far as I’m aware) video game ranty man - One Angry Gamer.
boner culture. i mean, wtf
I guess this is what happens when you turn an unhealthy relationship with porn into part of your political identity.
what happened to good ol’ “having feelings of shame”?
deleted by creator
I can NOT be blamed for mixing them up lol.
I’m still not entirely convinced they’re different people.
Apparently I got the wrong
but thats the reason MK9 is on their list. Because MK9 had very sexualized outfits for Kitana, Mileena, Skarlet, and Jade and later MK games toned that down significantly (to the betterment of the franchise in my opinion, even if my horny side did like the MK9 outfits at the time. Kitana, Jade, and Skarlet all are much better designed after their redesigns. Mileena is a bit more hit or miss but its not because she’s desexualized).
Nobody ever actually played those
Funny enough, my very gay older brother played them a lot. He was also just really into volleyball
deleted by creator
But Kojima said media and elites bad so he’s literally me!
These games are all either a handful of explicitly NOT conservative games, military shooters, a couple games that sexualize women, and then just “games I like”.
DoA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball
Zelda OOC
Fuck offfffffff
Well… The main villain is black.
Something about using the power of God under direction of what’s presumably a traditional monarchy to fight the forces of anarchy, also.
But mostly the main villain thing.

Can you really call this the “conservative essentials” without gems like Custer’s Revenge and Hatred?
I would probably include Metal Wolf Chaos unironically.
The basic rimworld colony is basically anarcho communist, what the hell.
Arent the devs big chuds?
I thought that was Factorio?
Say it ain’t so
I think the dev got banned from his own subreddit for being wildly reactionary.
Wish I had known sooner so I could have pirated it. Damn.
deleted by creator
Oh no, is there something idk about them? I was not aware of them having any rightoid shit.
There was just a small controversy with the way the game handled character sexualities, which has been fixed. I don’t think there was anything malicious there
Huh, I thought there was more than that, but reading up on it, it looks like it was kind of overblown. Maybe the rimredditors’ love of cannibalism and organ farms got me mixed up or I was thinking of the Factorio guy.
It also has canonically trans backstories. Not from the developer, iirc it was an early sponsorship thing where if you funded the development you could create backstories that would be in the game
Yeah, it was from the name in the game thing. Ig they could have denied those backstories if they were chuds.
Ah yes, Silent Hill 3, where you play as a woman and perform an abortion on a god, where all the religious people are depicted as murderous lunatics and the most powerful deity in the game is a disabled woman.
Heather make me pp hard therefore game is for republicans.
Heather Mason got tired of women’s clothing having no pockets, so she found an outfit made entirely of pockets instead.
She is hoarding the pockets. The other women need to execute her and distribute the pockets equally.
The funniest part is that the original tweet that triggered the chud was this
transcore chart
Love how FNV is there twice, its just that good.
This is way too accurate. Every trans person I’ve known in person is really into Touhou, Persona, and Disco Elysium.
Also every leftist I’ve met is a Sonic enjoyer.
TF2 players are either trans or Nazi, no in between
deleted by creator
Gotta go fast
Sonic teaches us about accelerationism
Okay, this list actually makes sense unlike that terrible conservativecore one lol. Although L*ague being on this list is pretty bad.
So OG Zelda is both trans and conservative? Also is ‘Tell Me Why’ any good, remember seeing the trailer for it then nothing else?
I liked it, but I like most of Dontnod’s work. Not sure if it got as much traction in popular press as Life is Strange.
Storytelling is really good, but the fairly realistic graphical style didn’t do it many favours either. It looks fairly generic at a glance I think.
is there 2 fallout new vegas
MUCH better games.
Trans people stay winning.
Both lists have genuine bangers but yeah there’s a fair amount of trash on the conservacore list while this list is bangers only.
TOUHOU IS CONSERVATIVE???
oh my god I do not want to know how the person who thought this interpreted it
The entire thought process was probably “lolis are in it”.
But Touhou also showed up on the transcore games meme lol so
there are literal canon trans characters in touhou
also the “lolis” are just kids, none of them are sexualized or treated sexually in any way in canon material
deleted by creator
Not… really? I can’t think of a kid character who is also canonically a maid, there’s maid fanart of everyone cuz that’s just a popular trendy thing
deleted by creator
nahh touhou is really cool, the fandom has parts that suck and parts that give you the best friends of your life, stories that are p*do pandering and stories so good that can leave you crying for an hour, it’s immensely huge and a big point of touhou is self expression so you can find basically anything touhou related
if you’re interested I recommend you read this!

tfw they don’t know abt the official book where Aya basically creates Fox News but for Gensokyo
b–b-b–bbut that was satire copium
These games are really old.
Back before
were invented.
I would say a third of those games make sense.
Anything WW2, Shooters, and anything 40K related would be my assumptions. I would also throw in Madden. Top of the chud pile would be Call of Duty.
Oddly enough BioShock still has Ayn Rand fans despite the story. Naturally they can’t understand that it is a deconstruction of Ayn Rand. They also say the only reason Rapture failed was because Ryan abandoned his ideals…
HE DID BECAUSE HE FUCKING HAD TO BECAUSE HE WAS LOSING UNDER HIS IDEALS. That is the entire point of that story. It’s a self contradicting society.anything 40K related
Actually quite funny that they chose Space Marine because one of the universally hated characters in that is your rigidly doctrinaire squad member who refuses to deviate from the words of a 10,000 year old text even when they don’t make sense in the current situation.
Sounds pretty conservative to me. They probably hate that character because they are an obstacle to their own goals, but otherwise they agree with that characters philosophy because they do the same thing regarding real world politics.
Once again, conservatives remain blind to the fact that they are being mocked.
It’s like with them and the Taliban — if it weren’t that they use a different thousand-year-old text, they’d probably be best buddies
There’s a really concerning trend where the far right in the west is cosying up to what could be approximated as Islamic fascism (e.g. ISIS etc.)
They also have Darktide on there which, as much as I’m loving the game, is basically what this graphic is looking for.
You are essentially a penal battalion attached to an inquisitor’s warband purging heretics like zombies from Left4Dead
deleted by creator
I only vaguely remember but Bioshock 2 was kind of trying to both sides by making the antagonist a collectivist or something. Then Bioshock Infinite was both sidesing racism.
ocarina of time
Are they not offended by Sheik?
Well since masculinity is a beacon of moral fortitude that everyone should be aspiring to It makes sense that even an incarnation of God would rather be a ninja than a princess.
