Every generation in academia has their own buzzword to mask their psuuuud nature....ten years ago it was "the other" lol
-
It's not just one buzzword, unfortunately. Just look at what they've done with the perfectly respectable "problematic."

the videogame industry is a huge conduit and tool for progressive agendas, developers seem to always be progressive bugmen. since everything is politics, one cannot simply take politics out of videogaming like gamergate or conservatism thinks.
-
EVERYYTHING is a tool for progressive agendas because progs run society. I'm not convinced that this is something specifically inherent to the properties of video games.

I could buy that the current form of corporate businesses is inherently neoliberal (see: https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2017/05/corporate-contradictions-neoliberalism/ …) and thus larger companies will tend toward propgressivism, but, again, this says nothing about vidya in and of itself.

That said, gaming is still primarily a problem even if we bracket out politics. Games are simulations, so the developers' bizarre fixation on becoming art (representation, the antithesis of simulation) has led/leads to entirely useless artifacts.
-
Basically, if your game has any story in it (besides the one you tell to friends about playing it) then you've missed the point of what a "game" is. Any game that isn't a puzzle or a strategy game is terrible. (90% of those games are still bad anyway))

Interesting. Where can I read more on Representation vs. Simulation?

Baudrillard is your man for anything regarding postmodern simulation and how it differs from traditions representative art.

Nothing is more logical than for there to be lesbians in a zombified post-apocalyptic landscape.
