    fyi "we're leaving politics at the door" translates to "we are going to avoid talking about the issues of marginalization that make other peoples' lives difficult on a day to day basis by pretending they aren't there"

        anything that claims to be "apolitical" is just endorsing the status quo while pretending that doing so grants you some virtue that people who have a basic understanding of what privilege is lack

        having "we're going to be apolitical" as part of your mission statement in 2018 is purely a cowardly attempt to appease the reactionary mob. and, since it's a reactionary mob, it probably won't even work-- it will just establish your spinelessness.

        part of why i've been hijacking the bot account to do thinkpiece commentary so often lately is i realized that satire on its own does almost nothing. in fact, in a consumerist world, it sometimes is worse than nothing, because people take its consumption as political action

        a lot of people keep pointing out that everything is more political now than it was before. that's just code for "i used to be able to ignore this because it didn't affect me"

        this is all a specific response to russ pitts' rebooting the escapist, which has been a center for alt-right gaming dipshits since gamergate, but it all totally applies out of that context too

        "we're gonna be apolitical about video games" 2 weeks after a hate mob got 2 arenanet writers fired is particularly egregious

        Speaking as someone with a pre-existing condition (epilepsy) who stands to lose a great deal at the hands of this administration, it’s not healthy to dwell on this stuff 24/7. There’s nothing wrong with taking breaks from it all.

        oh 100% agreed, but i don't think that's the point of this thread. it's about privileged folk who wanna never think about the problem ever

        Or "we're only going to acknowledge politics the mainstream agrees with because we don't recognize that as politics"
