I guess for me there are many ways in which my work as a critic is inherently political. How could it not be? I can’t hide my feelings about capitalism & income inequality when talking about KR0, I can’t hide how being trans and queer colors my relationship to so many works. Etc. https://twitter.com/xoxogossipgita/status/1347238582721851393 …

Now, do I worry that my politics have cost me job opportunities? Do I worry they’re part of why I’ve struggled to find a job these past few years, that people are wary of hiring the trans woman who said GTAV had a small sexism problem? Oh yeah, I do. But that ship has sailed.

Also in this era I think continuing to treat any medium as just apolitical entertainment is a failure and that any critic worth their salt has some kind of personal ethic by which they understand and talk about art as a meaningful force in our world.

Also also, I think it's undeniable at this point, after the events of the past six+ years, that, in gaming in particular, if you have any kind of platform, silence about any and all matters that might be called "political" equals tacit approval for all kinds of truly heinous shit
