::::I still stand by my comment about "death of the author" earlier on [https://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Essay:Worst_Liberal_Movies#Should_we_really_have_a_debatable_if_liberal_section.3F this talk page.] Since the Empire and the rebels have no real similarities to the real America and Vietcong, I just keep it in the realm of fantasy. You know, CP's "worst liberal..." essays are really the conservative counterpart to the Liberal "Adam Ruins Everything" show.

::::Fine, stand by that comment. Unfortunately, considering we've got far too many instances of people conflating the Founding Fathers with terrorists like the Vietcong or comparing them to the Jacobins as if the respective revolutions are one and the same when they were not, I'd rather not take any chances, lest I end up rooting for Communists thanks to what Lucas said about his inspirations. I already made the mistake about thinking Che was a good guy thanks to Kojima, I have zero intention of falling for something like that again. And besides, like I said, when the author of another franchise explicitly compares Che Guevara with George Washington regarding a character in two different games, make Che seem like a decent guy when he was not (heck, failing to even mention his role in the Cuban Missile Crisis nearly becoming a nuclear war at the very least), not even "death of the author" can fix this issue (and make no mistake, Metal Gear IS fantasy ultimately, which makes it even MORE of a problem. That Lucas specifically geared that garbage to children specifically to indoctrinate them into these views makes it even MORE contemptible. Sure, we adults can know better, but what about the kids? We've already got enough of a problem as it is that teachers teach that the French Revolution is just like the American War for Independence for starters.).
