Seriously. Every form of entertainment has baked-in political assumptions, and that definitely includes #ttrpg . You might choose not to examine them, but this is an active choice on your part, and you don't get to pretend that your entertainment is "free of politics".

"I don't want to talk about/see politics" is always synonym to "I support the status quo, and I will aggressively reject anything that goes against it".

Nothing that happens on a public space is free of politics, even when it's not controversial.

Just MLK's white moderate doing white moderate things. Funny how shit don't change.

I don't like politics in ttrpgs because that means less time SMITING and more time with boring words. Unless the politicians are secretly vampires, then I can keep SMITING.

NO TALK ONLY SMITE.

Now with the vampire politicians gone you can help shape the new government of the city

Anything they see in there that goes against their own personally DESIRED to be status quo is an insult. Theyve just got shit views so well rounded culture shocks them and it reminds them all about how their shit stinks and they aren't really all that smart or morally sound. Cause if they were, they wouldn't have identified with any that stuff to begin with or realized the perils.

And it makes them know the cringe at how they're viewed (but they say its just how they're PORTRAYED to pass the buck on being that way being their own fault and indicative of their lack of stats and general lack of character) 😄😂
