Red Dead Redemption 2: Set before the events of Red Dead Redemption, this game explores how the Dutch Van Der Linde gang had fallen. As the title suggests, it promotes redemption in the form of main protagonist Arthur Morgan helping John Marston and his family escape the collapsing gang at the cost of his own life (whether from dying from tuberculosis or being murdered), and like the previous game, shows doing good deeds, heroism, and family in good light. However, also like the first game, the player can do bad things. --[[User:The Autistic Patriot|The Autistic Patriot]] ([[User talk:The Autistic Patriot|talk]]) 19:48, 7 March 2019 (EST)

== South Park Video Games ==
Trey Parker and Matt Stone have produced two official video games under Ubisoft: ''South Park: The Stick of Truth'' and ''South Park: The Fractured But Whole''. Yes, they're vulgar, but they do make fun of political correctness (the second game actually has the player learn a "Microagression" fighting technique from PC Principal where they get a free hit on an enemy if they say anything that could be perceived as bigoted), environmentalism, feminism, gun control, among other things. They make fun of the idea that the police are racist by having them worship a demon that specifically targets blacks for consumption in the game (this is obviously sarcastic). They make fun of identity politics in allowing the character to choose their gender, race/ethnicity, and religion, and then engaging in battle with rednecks who will beat you up no matter what you choose! Also, when the gender is chosen, the game implicitly satirizes the concept of transgenderism, especially considering the player is allowed to return to the counselor at any time to change their gender. The second game is arguably more conservative than the first (or maybe that's just me; I was still apolitical and a progressive liberal by default when I was playing the first one), but they're both undeniably conservative, or at least libertarian. I just don't want to see them end up in "Worst Liberal" like the South Park movie.
