Essay:Worst Liberal Video Games

2018-02-15T14:38:41Z

InwardHurdle: Added Overwatch

The [[video game industry]] is a very [[liberal]] market, which is why many [[conservative]] organizations, [[church]]es, and [[Christianity|Christian]] educational institutions criticize video games. Here are some of the worst examples of liberalism in video games by developer:

==Definitely liberal==

===Blizzard Entertainment===
*''Overwatch'': Multiplayer shooter game that caters to SJWs and Cultural Marxists by needlessly making a popular character a lesbian, as well as adding in a muscular lesbian when leftists were offended by the game. The story of the game also subtly condemns private business while promoting the left-wing United Nations

===Capcom===
*''Dead Rising'' series: The series deals with a bioterror attack at various places resulting in the creation of zombies, as well as fighting against psychopaths who were either driven mad from tragic circumstances relating to the event, or otherwise used the event as an excuse for committing terrorist acts. The terrorists directly responsible for the events in question are generally depicted in a sympathetic manner, while the hidden villains, with the exception of ''Dead Rising 2'', are usually military personnel, with the latter not being depicted in a sympathetic manner.

===Destructive Studios===
*''Hatred'': The game's entire premise dealt with playing as a psychopathic and misanthropic spree killer trying to kill as many people as possible, and culminates in engineering a nuclear meltdown. Pro-terrorism, as well, with hints at a massively nihilistic outlook. There's also evidence that it plagiarized the ''Postal'' series of games in terms of overall plot and gameplay. Was also notorious for managing to be sold largely because of its controversy and other than that was not popular at all due to it encouraging killing for no justifications whatsoever.

===Electronic Arts===
Electronic Arts is a game producer based in California. Some of the games they produce are okay, but others are quite liberal. Electronic Arts is now the parent company of Maxis, which was created by an [[atheist]].
*Spore: The game revolves around the concept of [[Evolution]].

===HudsonSoft===
* ''Cho Aniki'' series: Blatantly of the LGBT agenda.

===Illusion Softworks===
* Mafia series: Glorifies every aspect of the Italian mafia, with the third Mafia game promoting the radical Black Panthers, and featuring a minor lesbian protagonist.

===Konami===
Konami has supported then-FLOTUS [[Michelle Obama]]'s Let's Move program in 2013 during E3. In addition, they also tend to have very liberal games on market such as:

* The ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series by Hideo Kojima blatantly pushes anti-Americanism, post-modernism, nihilism, and also hints at anarchism being preferable to law and order. It also has some praise for May 1968, and Peace Walker infamously has most of the cast hero-worshipping ''[[Che Guevara]]''. Kojima was also shown to be a big Obama supporter, especially in regards to the latter wanting to get rid of nuclear weapons. There was also an anti-Colonial settlement in several of the games, and has also promoted LGBT politics in the form of Dr. Strangelove. Notable examples include:
** ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'' is notorious for being the first [[Postmodernism|postmodern]] game in the history of gaming. It also is extremely anti-American, with Hideo Kojima in his Grand Game Plan for the game even explicitly stating that America as a culture was meant to represent the biggest evil in the game, with the same source implying that Solid Snake, one of the few characters who was on the good spectrum, acted as a spy for Communist China.<ref>Metal Gear Solid 2: Grand Game Plan (http://www.gamepitches.com/2012/01/kojima-productions-metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-design-document/), page 36-37.
;Absolute evil in MGS2

Evil in Hollywood films has always changed depending on the time in which the film’s story takes place. Inthe American market, where audiences like to see good triumph over evil, the absolute enemy – be it a race, country or setting – has always changed with the values of the times. MGS2 will be developed with mainly the American market in mind, though it will also consider countries in the European market, such as Germany, France, Britain and Italy. Therefore, the particulars of its ‘evil’ must be handled carefully. It should be noted that we face no such problem with Japan. 

Westerns -> Native Americans 

Post-WWII war films -> Germany, Japan 

Cold War-era spy films -> Russia 

Post-Cold War films -> China 

Following the signing of the friendship treaty between the US and China -> Japanese businesses(the collapse of the bubble economy) 

1990s -> Terrorism 

;MGS2’s evil
The evil in MGS2 is the American government. However, this does not refer to Americans in general, nor to any particular persons, but to the festering discharge that has built-up within the democratic state of America over the years. The intention is not to defame any race, state or ethnicity, but rather to look at the ‘monster’ that the country’s political structure has created. It is an intangible entity yet at the same time a massive menace to the world, about on the same level as the evil in The X-Files. It could be called a throwback to the somewhat classic type of evil. It is this hidden hand of the American government, the Patriots, that has both created madmen like Solidus and the members of Dead Cell and has also used them for its own ends. 

;Absolute evil

The Patriots -> the shadowy organization that controls the American government 

People used by them:

Solidus -> current President of the United States of America 

Colonel Gurlukovich -> a Russian who wishes to see his country rebuilt 

People they must be careful of: 

Vamp -> ex-Stasi 

Old Boy -> former Nazi army colonel 

Snake -> a spy for China?</ref> The same source also implies that it intended to push a feminist agenda.<ref>http://www.gamepitches.com/2012/01/kojima-productions-metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-design-document/

"'''Story''' 
Having an iconic female character (Fortune), like in the previous game, as well as an ordinary woman involved with the main character, will add both a realistic and romantic element to the game. 
‘The 21st century will be the age of women, when women will protect men’"</ref> Both main villains, who espoused American values (to the extent that they were even named Sons of Liberty and Patriots) and were fighting each other, were shown or heavily implied to be complicit in terrorist acts, and several of the characters, both good and bad, were shown to do very amoral things, including constantly betraying each other. Solid Snake in the ending later gave a message on how there was never such a thing as "absolute reality" and how "reality" was just "cleverly disguised fiction", meaning he was essentially pushing nihilism. The game also briefly implies that Solid Snake had conducted terrorist attacks while in Philanthropy, with it overall being glossed over. In addition, some of the main villains, the Gurlukovich Mercenaries, who were strongly implied to be Communists, were depicted in a more sympathetic light compared to the other villains. Ironically, the game ended up being released around the time of the September 11 attacks. Kojima, in an interview dated back in 1999, implied that the game was meant to push the exact same themes as ''The Matrix'' by [[the Wachowski Brothers]] (as they were known at the time, and who were personal friends of him), including the concept of how reality was an illusion.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20130328062143/http://www.gamespot.com/news/hideo-kojima-speaks-about-the-matrix-2448486</ref>
** ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'' has the player aiding implied Muslim terrorists and Communist insurgents in the first two acts. In addition, there was a brief promotion of the crackpot Global Warming ideology at the beginning of Act 4. It also depicts the main antagonist Liquid Ocelot's desire for the destruction of the Patriots and the creation of pure anarchy in a positive light nearing the end. It also juxtapositions the United States and the Soviet Union symbolism during Big Mama's speech, implying that they were little different from each other. It also glosses over the complications posed by Sunny "keeping the brain cell intact" (in particular, Drebin 893, a gun launderer, implies both that the resulting Patriot shutdown will result in a massive boom for his business, and also that the UN would end up taking over the entire planet after the events of the shutdown of the War Economy and the Patriots resulted in multiple countries going broke and being in significant enough debt that even PMC regulation laws wouldn't come close to closing it off, as well as America being affected to the degree that it has to give up on unilateralism, and also briefly implying that the UN will likely come the closest towards a successor group to the Patriots and that the cycle will continue, with the story treating it as drunken ramblings.), and also heavily implies a more unrealistic view of government control similar to more left-wing views on how things work when all the characters are acting as though if Liquid Ocelot either took control of the Patriots directly or otherwise just wiped them out altogether, the key essentials to human civilization - water, air, electricity, food, medicine, communication and transportation - would be negatively affected to catastrophic levels, many times forgetting that most if not all of those would either not have been impacted at all by the Patriots shutdown (due to existing well before the Patriots or the Philosophers before them were even an idea) or otherwise being a minor inconvenience at worst. Was also notable as being the first entry to the series to have a character (Laughing Octopus) drop the f-bomb in dialogue in the English release (in ''Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater'', the character EVA also dropped the f-bomb in English to Colonel Volgin in the Japanese version, but this was toned down overseas to "Go to hell!"). And while the game does have a subtle condemnation to [[gun control]] in the form of the Sons of the Patriots system, at the same time, it also seems to promote people killing each other for the sheer sake of it as evidenced by Liquid Ocelot's comments before his death, and also implies that to some extent, the gun control implanted by Liquid Ocelot when he took over the SOP system ended all conflict and treated that as a silver lining.
** ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker'' was very left-wing in its outlook, even by ''Metal Gear'' series standards. One of the more infamous aspects of the game had the various main characters, including the co-protagonists Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller, giving a very fawning account on the Marxist terrorist Che Guevara, completely ignoring his role in nearly causing the Cuban Missile Crisis to become a full on nuclear war despite two of the main villains doing exactly that, not to mention Big Boss trying to put a stop to two attempts at launching a nuke twice, one at Cuba and another at America. In the case of Big Boss and Miller, it also conflicts completely with their histories, which had them, respectively, feeling guilt for killing The Boss (as well as implying at one point that the Cuban Missile Crisis was ultimately responsible for the aforementioned action) and growing up in Japan during that time with the adults explicitly panicking respectively. Aside from Che, Miller and Big Boss also proceeded to briefly mention Mao Zedong once via his book ''On Protracted War'' while implying they similarly held him in high regard as well. The various characters also gave very anti-American views, including condemning the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, the firebombing of Tokyo, the post-war period of Japan, and also repeating the usual condemnations towards American involvement in South and Central America, many times completely ignoring or at most glossing over Soviet involvement in the region as well. One character, a French woman named Cecile Cosima Caminades, also was implied to be very sexually loose, and also gives a glowing account of the horrendous events of May 1968 in France (including falsely implying that the vast majority of Paris and even France as a whole had participated in or at least were influenced by the events of May 1968, despite it, similar to the Hippie movement, actually only being a minority rabble of Trotskyite and Maoist groups trying to impose their will on society, and that it actually ruined France rather than the game's implication that it actually turned out for the better unlike the Hippie movement or similar movements in Japan.) and also was a fangirl of notorious Existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre (her fangirlism to him was made more explicit in the Japanese version, where she actually squeals in excitement when Big Boss mentions that he was the same guy who infamously referred to Che Guevara as "the most complete man of the century."). It also has some implied LGBT agenda pushing in the form of Dr. Strangelove, who is strongly implied to be a lesbian, as well as one mission featuring Big Boss and Miller entering a date and being implied to have engaged in homosexual sex upon the completion. The CIA was also depicted in a very negative light, being the main antagonistic force in the game, and the initial main villain Hot Coldman, a station chief in Central America and an implied former Director for the CIA, was depicted as a madman. It also paints the FSLN in a sympathetic light and, in a clear breach with real-life history, depicts them actually revolting against the KGB late in the game, as well as largely glossing over their crimes (in an even more egregrious note, the Sandinista Comandante Amanda was implied in dialogue to be a Christian despite the fact that the FSLN, being a Communist organization, was explicitly Atheistic in its outlook). When covering the game at Tokyo Game Show 2009, Hideo Kojima heavily implied that deterrence was bad, as was holding any form of military at all.<ref>https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kojima-talks-peace-walker/1100-6230488/ "There's the philosophy of nuclear deterrence," Kojima continued. "America and Russia just kept piling up on their nuclear weapons. And when you have an army, it deters enemies from invading. That's yet another theory of deterrence. Why can't we get rid of nuclear arms and soldiers from the world? I'm sure that everyone's thought about it. And then there's the reality, which I hope players will think about as they're playing Peace Walker. Back then, it was a time when these theories were actually thought to be effective. And now, we're paying the price. We've still got tons of nuclear weapons scattered all over the world."</ref> In addition, it also had Kojima during development reporting glowingly on Barack Obama's Prague Speech on a World without Nukes.<ref>http://ameblo.jp/kp-blogcast/entry-10361111977.html 『核なき世界』をプラハで宣言したオバマ大統領がノーベル平和賞を受賞した。ようやく時代が動き出したのか。ピースウォーカー計画始動？そうなる事を願いたい。『平和は歩いては来ない』『お互い歩み寄るしかないのだ』 Gymにて。 ("President Obama, who talked about a "world without nuclear weapons" in Prague, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Has history finally made its move? Could this be the beginning of the Peace Walker Project? I hope so. "Peace won't come to us." "We have to meet it halfway" At the gym."?)</ref> There's also a slight joke where the characters refer to Hideo Kojima as "god." Paz also at one point channels anti-Colonial sentiments regarding outside markets. There are also two missions, one having Snake (who is 39 years old at the time of the game) date as well as being strongly implied to have had sex with Paz (who at the time of the mission was believed to be sixteen years old), and the other being the aforementioned Miller mission.
**''Metal Gear Solid V'': Like with ''Peace Walker'', it depicts several anti-American references throughout both games. In the first part of the game, ''Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes'', it depicts a black site in Cuba that was all but stated to be Guantanamo Bay in what was clearly intended to be a condemnation towards its existence, including implying that the terrorists placed there had just been abducted in the dead of night and didn't actually do anything wrong. It also showcased some extremely brutal torture, including them forcing a kid to rape a girl, as well as stuffing a bomb down said girl's vagina. It also depicts the Marines in a very negative light. One of the side missions for the game also has the player infiltrating the base with the explicit mission of assassinating members of a Marine Sniper-Spotter team who had previously been deployed to Laos due to their being successful in killing several high-ranking members of the NVA and other Communist organizations in the region, with the person giving the mission being KGB, while another mission has the player sabotaging anti-air guns as well as doing a helicopter raid on the base. Kojima, in an interview with the Guardian, also makes it perfectly clear that up to that point, he intended for his games to question America's role in the world, and implied he wanted to show it in a negative light.<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/18/hideo-kojima-interview-metal-gear-solid-phantom-pain
"With Ground Zeroes he [Hideo Kojima] escalated the stakes by taking aim at North America’s contemporary policies towards terror suspects. “In the past the US was the centre of the world, where everything was happening,” he says. “I think my stories have always sought to question this, maybe even criticise it. But the situation is changing. America is not seen as the centre of the world any more. So the focus of my stories is shifting alongside with that change in the real world.”
"It’s a diplomatic answer, but Ground Zeroes is not an especially diplomatic video game. Its incarcerated terror suspects kneel in wire cages, bound at the hands and feet with blinding sacks over their heads. As you hoist them on to Snake’s shoulder and sprint to the evacuation helicopter, some break down in tears either through fear or relief. It’s grimly political. “[Guantanamo] was definitely something that I made decision to address in the game,” Kojima says. “Hollywood continues to present the US army as being the good guys, always defeating the aliens or foreigners. I am trying to shift that focus. These movies might not be the only way to view current affairs. I am trying to present an alternate view in these games.”"</ref> The ending for the main mission as well as one of the tapes has the character Skull Face, when describing Here's to You, falsely referring to [[Sacco and Vanzetti]] as having been innocent of the crimes they were executed for. In the second half, ''Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain'', there were several anti-American references, such as having a character named Code Talker refer negatively to the American Indian Boarding School as well as developing genocidal views on the English language and his being portrayed sympathetically for this, as well as Miller making a reference to the pejorative "American Empire." Ronald Reagan was also mentioned as well as his Evil Empire speech, with a more sarcastic element to it. In addition, although the protagonists do fight against the USSR, their missions in Africa have them aiding the Communist backed MPLA, and also make several anti-Colonial references such as Western Powers being "parasitic" towards their natural resources. Like before, it mentions the FSLN in a glowing manner, even explicitly founding a socialist state as well as being backed by the USSR. In addition, writer Kenji Yano also implied that Big Boss being Ishmael instead of Huey Emmerich was because they wanted to avoid a pro-American bias regarding morality.<ref>http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=25955
Yano says that Kojima explained the structure of MGSV to him as early as 2011, and all the different elements were already in place: from the themes (such as phantom pain and retaliation) to the motif of Moby Dick. “However, at that point Ishmael was actually Huey. Snake was Ahab, and Diamond Dogs’ enemy was America. It was set up so that the story, being told by Huey (Ishmael) as an American citizen, would be biased toward the American perspective, showing America as being right the whole time.” According to Yano, the Moby Dick connection is also meant as an allegory for the powers that drive the world, as whales used to be more than just a source of food. “Of course their oil was prized, but also other parts such as the bones and baleen played an important role in people’s lifestyles. […] World maps are thought to have come about thanks to the whaling trade. In short, whaling was inseparable from people’s lives at the time. You could even say it had “infiltrated” their lives.” With MGSV, Kojima brought this theme to a new century: “What’s important is that Kojima-san didn’t just transplant the motif from Moby-Dick. I think it’s more a case of these two creators, Melville and Kojima, relentlessly thinking through the way that the world works, and arriving at the same answer.” This connects to the setting of the game: “if we look at the game from the energy perspective, it’s obvious that Afghanistan and Africa would be the settings for the events in MGSV. Each produces oil, and each is a source of rare metals and other mined resources.” Of course, both Moby Dick and MGSV share the theme of revenge. “As Skull Face stated in MGSV, the world is an endless loop of action and reaction. It’s always an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. […] Like Moby-Dick, MGSV is also a tale of revenge.” Why was Ishmael changed from Huey to Big Boss? Yano believes the answer to that lies in what Ahab represents: “Although Ahab has only his personal revenge, when the character is superimposed onto American righteousness, he serves as an analogy for how justification for revenge based on instinctive national memory is converted into a just cause.” He continues: “But in MGSV, it’s actually America that’s the overarching Moby Dick. Big Boss is Ahab in the sense that he’s been maimed by America in the past. Big Boss turns his yearning for revenge into bonds that bind him together with comrades who share his wish to retaliate against America (or its self-righteous justifications). However, from America’s point of view it’s Big Boss that’s Moby Dick. So what we can see in MGSV is actually an attempt to depict battle between Ahab and Ahab, or perhaps Moby Dick and Moby Dick.” This, according to Yano, explains why Kojima chose to switch the role of Ahab from Huey to Big Boss. “To be more precise, the aim is to reveal that the system the world runs on defines Big Boss’s existence as “evil.” That’s why MGSV tells you distinctly that Ahab is you, the player. It says, now you have to experience first-hand the absurdity of being branded a villain by the manipulating ways of the global status quo. […] For that message to be put across, it can’t be Huey telling it, since he’s on the American side. It has to be Big Boss himself that delivers the message.”</ref> In addition, there was an ending for disarming all nukes on a server that implied that all nukes had been gotten rid of, which also featured a quotation by Barack Obama as part of the credits.

===MachineGames===
* ''Wolfenstein II'': The game has a Nazi occupation in America, with the twitter promotion making an unsubtle attempt at connecting this plot point with the Donald Trump presidency and his electorate. Was also rather notorious for not only this element, but also further demonstration of [[fake news]] by the left-wing media including Newsweek promoting the same claim, as well as indirectly hinting at Russian collusion.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/fakenews-newsweek-writer-calls-innocent-people-nazis-for-criticizing-video-game-without-verifying/</ref>

===Midway Games===
* ''[[Ms. Pac-Man]]'': Pro-[[feminist]] arcade game that was an unathourized spinoff of ''[[Pac-Man]]''.

===Radical Games===
* ''The Simpsons Road Rage'': Blatantly pushes an anti-nuclear energy agenda, as the premise of the game involves Mr. Burns buying the public transit system and producing nuclear-powered buses, with it clearly being treated in a negative light as the game expects the player to do a volunteer taxi service to buy back the public transit system from Mr. Burns, with the taxi service being ironically a lot MORE hazardous to people's health due to extremely reckless driving and traffic violations, which is actively encouraged. The game, when first unveiling the nuclear buses, also shows the character Hans Moleman emitting a green glow and then begging for someone to kill him while in obvious agony as well as the bus itself emitting a similar green glow when Mr. Burns declares it to be "cheaper, faster, and completely safe", carrying the obvious implication that Burns was lying, even though studies have shown that nuclear power is actually much safer for the environment overall when used right and a lot more cost effective. The game was also an explicit knock-off of ''Crazy Taxi'', to the extent that one of its claim to fame was being the subject of a lawsuit by Sega, the creators of ''Crazy Taxi'', against Fox Entertainment for the similarities.

===Rockstar Games===
* [[Grand Theft Auto]] series: This whole series promotes alcohol, drugs, tobacco, crime, pornography, and a bunch of other gobbledygook. [[Grand Theft Auto V]] was probably the worst as it did everything it could to demonize wealthy businessmen, FBI agents, country people, and lawyers. [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] was probably the second worst as it was pro-illegal immigration.
* Midnight Club series: Same basic premise as Grand Theft Auto, only you're playing as a street racer instead of a car thief.

===Ubisoft===

Ubisoft claims to be a very diverse company. It seems they aren't very diverse politically as they have some of the most liberal games on market

*The Assassin's Creed franchise: Anti-Christian, as it claims that Jesus Christ was a fraud,<ref>http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Jesus_Christ</ref> with the villains of the series being the Knights Templar. The worst of the franchise is Syndicate, which has you killing capitalists in Victorian age London, working with the evolutionist [[Charles Darwin]] and [[communist]] [[Karl Marx]]. Ubisoft also had a transgender in the game, even though such a person was nonexistent back then. Only two games exist in the franchise that are in any way conservative: The third, which deals with the American Revolution and depicts the Founding Fathers in a positive light (although the DLC has them depicted negatively), and Assassin's Creed Unity, which depicted the French Revolution and its founders in a very negative light.

* Watch Dogs 2: While the first game is generally conservative (Pro-family, Anti-big government, Anti-crime), the sequel is one of the most liberal games to date. The main characters are anarchists, and the game has you fighting big corporations. You also have to work with many gays and transgenders. Also, in one mission the player must take down a church and expose it as fake. Even though the church in the game is meant to symbolize the cult of [[Scientology]],<ref>.http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/20876/20161027/watch-dogs-2-scientology-tom-cruise-side-mission.htm</ref> there are various Anti-Christian undertones, such as a cross being depicted in an evil light with the words "False Prophets" being put under it. It is in this mission where you must also work with a gender-confused mayor, who is mad with the church for leaking videos of his mutilations onto the internet.

* Farcry 5: Even though not released yet, there is a lot pointing to the idea that this game will be quite liberal. The main villains of the game will be white, Christian, right-wingers in Montana,<ref>https://www.infowars.com/villains-in-upcoming-video-game-are-white-christian-right-wing-extremists-from-montana/</ref> while the previous game villains were more politically neutral (they include a psychotic pirate and an atheistic dictator).

==Debatable whether liberal==
===Activision===
*Call of Duty 2: Like most entries in the franchise, it ultimately promotes American values and the military, as well as the British during World War II as well. However, at least one of the main campaigns depicts the Soviets in a positive manner due to it focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad.

===Capcom===
*''Resident Evil'' series: The games generally have a subtle anti-capitalist and anti-American agenda. However, it also has a condemnation against social Darwinism and eugenics, as most of the main villains in the franchise tended to promote some form of eugenics as well as social Darwinism as their motives. In addition, one of the protagonists, Barry Burton, was implied in the English localization to be a member of the [[National Rifle Association]], and the games also to some extent featured pro-family messaging, as Barry Burton was shown to be very loyal to his family, and the character Claire Redfield is depicted as being loyal to her brother Chris, spending Resident Evil 2 trying to find him and in Code Veronica refuses to allow Albert Wesker to harm him. The games also showcase government corruption in a scarily realistic and negative light in the form of Albert Wesker (who was a former police officer in the first Resident Evil) and Brian Irons (the police chief for the Raccoon City Police Department in Resident Evil 2). Resident Evil 4 also has a condemnation against pagan religions in the form of the Los Illuminados.
*''Dead Rising 2'' and ''Dead Rising 2: Off the Record'': Although it has largely the same plotline as in the first ''Dead Rising'', it also to some extent is pro-family, due to the main character trying to save his daughter from infection. In addition, unlike the first or third main entries to the series, the hidden antagonist is not a military person, but instead a former rapper and TV executive who orchestrated the entire outbreak to boost ratings as well as steal wealth, acting as a subtle condemntation to [[Hollywood values]].

===Konami===
*''Metal Gear Solid''/''Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes'': Although the first game does have condemnation towards Cloning and genetic engineering, and also has (albeit unintentionally) a pro-life/anti-abortion message due to Liquid Snake, when describing the process of the Les Enfants Terribles' creation, in particular its use of abortion to encourage fetal growth, explicitly labeling it as murder (although in that case, he attributed the act of murder more to himself and his brother Solid Snake, both byproducts of the project, than to the people actually responsible for the Super Baby Method), as well as promoting the concept of redemption to some extent, and also paints terrorism in an appropriately bad light, it at the same time is rife with anti-Americanism among both heroes and villains (although obviously not to the same extent as in later entries) as well as pushing an anti-nuclear and anti-war agenda, both of which seemed to focus more on America doing so than other countries, in particular Russia and China (specifically, the character Nastasha Romanenko, a member of NEST, spent most of her time condemning America for using nuclear weapons or even using nuclear power at all, and giving very little, if any criticism towards Russia and China for their having nukes, despite the fact that the event that caused her to hold a strong hatred for nukes, Chernobyl, having originated from within the Soviet bloc).

===Nintendo===
*''Metroid: Other M:'' Although largely part of the Metroid series and retaining some of its more conservative elements (namely, the promotion of parenthood and condemning the concept of playing god), the game was rather infamous for several criticisms it experienced in the game, namely the characterization of Adam Malkovich and his relationship with Samus due to it coming across more as promoting an abusive relationship (such as Adam shooting Samus in the back before sacrificing himself). The game, unlike in the Prime series, also depicts the military in a more negative manner, as a flashback had Samus being restrained from turning her back on Adam despite her intention being to save Ian, his brother, from death, as well as one of the more controversial elements of the game being the authorization element which at one point has Adam failing to actually authorize the Varia Suit to allow Samus to traverse through a superheated area despite it nearly killing her until a long while afterward, and also had as its main plot a conspiracy to weaponized Metroids at the order of the Federation military (as well as having someone within Samus's group attempt to assassinate each of the members in order to silence them to any potential discoveries to the conspiracy in question via the character The Deleter).

===Radical Games===
*''The Simpsons Hit and Run'': Although there are some liberal themes, such as Marge's crusade against Bonestorm-an implied violent video game-being depicted in a negative light, some characters engaging in lawlessness in a similar manner to ''Grand Theft Auto'', and one of the later chapters for the game having the main antagonists supply the townspeople with ray guns as well as tainted cola in a way that could be interpreted as supporting gun control, it also had several conservative messages, namely pro-family, as two of the chapters dealt with Lisa and Marge trying to find Bart after he went missing and trying to find out the cause behind his addled behavior, and later attempting to stop the production of Buzz Cola due to its effects on Bart, respectively, the first chapter and most of the game features a condemnation towards mass surveillance due to the presence of surveillance vans and wasp cameras and their being treated in a clear negative light, especially in a matter that isn't essential to stopping a threat, and is also anti-Hollywood values due to the main antagonists, aliens by the name of Kang and Kodos, deliberately trying to cause a ruckus in Springfield, including the aforementioned distribution of ray guns and tainted Buzz Cola to cause a shootout and later reanimating the dead via Buzz Cola, plus using the wasp cameras and surveillance vans all in an attempt to boost ratings of their reality show "Foolish Earthlings," which as the title implies deals with depicting various people of Earth, in particular Springfield, doing various stupid actions. Also has a rarity in the franchise where nuclear power is actually depicted in a positive light due to it ultimately being the only thing that stopped Kang and Kodos's alien invasion. There is also a humorous condemnation towards gun-free school zones, as during the same level that Bart has to stop the distribution of ray guns to the populace at Squidport, Principal Skinner explicitly references the no-gun policy among students at Springfield Elementary when confiscating Bart's ray gun, despite Bart making clear he only needed the gun to supply evidence towards an evil plot.

===Square-Enix===
*''Final Fantasy II:'' In initial releases for the game, the game had an undeniably pro-Christian element to the games, and also condemned Satanic worshippers and totalitarianism in the form of the game's main villain Emperor Mateus Palamecia, who explicitly goes to Hell when he dies and tries to take over the world with the powers he gained from Hell. However, the remakes starting with the GBA version added in a new mode called "Dawn of Souls" which has the killed party members fighting against the Emperor's light half who took over Heaven, which could be interpreted as an anti-Christian message.
*''Final Fantasy VI:'' Promotes parenthood due to Terra Branford becoming a mother figure for the Mobliz orphans late into the game, which also had her learning the concept of love, and also showcases the horrors of totalitarian ideologies in the form of the Gestahlian Empire, and also offers a condemnation of [[nihilism]] in the form of the game's main antagonist Kefka. However, Terra also makes a more relativistic remark when trying to refute Kefka regarding finding meanings in things.
*''Final Fantasy VII:'' Promotes the concept of redemption and condemns unethical science in the form of Professor Hojo, but on the other hand, it also has a more anti-Capitalist view on things with Shin-Ra, the main antagonists, being a corporation, and is hinted to promote environmentalism due to the main protagonists being eco-terrorists.

===Ubisoft===
*Assassins Creed 3: The Assassins help the American Revolution by killing the Templar leaders of the British. However, a DLC came out for the game that has you kill all of the [[Founding Fathers]].

===Indie/Small Developers===

• Undertale: On one hand, it teaches the importance of core Christian values such as mercy and compassion by discouraging killing characters, and instead solving conflicts non-violently. On the other hand, it involves homosexual and bisexual relationships, some of which may involve the player character (who is 12 years of age and androgynous) depending on what dialogue choices the player makes.

Essay:Worst Liberal Video Games

2017-12-12T15:02:17Z

InwardHurdle: Added a bit more info on the maifa games

The video game industry is a very liberal market, which is why many conservative organizations, churches, and Christian educational institutions criticize video games. Here are some of the worst examples of liberalism in video games by developer:

==Definitely liberal==

===Capcom===
*''Dead Rising'' series: The series deals with a bioterror attack at various places resulting in the creation of zombies, as well as fighting against psychopaths who were either driven mad from tragic circumstances relating to the event, or otherwise used the event as an excuse for committing terrorist acts. The terrorists directly responsible for the events in question are generally depicted in a sympathetic manner, while the hidden villains, with the exception of ''Dead Rising 2'', are usually military personnel, with the latter not being depicted in a sympathetic manner.

===Destructive Studios===
*''Hatred'': The game's entire premise dealt with playing as a psychopathic and misanthropic spree killer trying to kill as many people as possible, and culminates in engineering a nuclear meltdown. Pro-terrorism, as well, with hints at a massively nihilistic outlook. There's also evidence that it plagiarized the ''Postal'' series of games in terms of overall plot and gameplay. Was also notorious for managing to be sold largely because of its controversy and other than that was not popular at all due to it encouraging killing for no justifications whatsoever.

===Electronic Arts===
Electronic Arts is a game producer based in California. Some of the games they produce are okay, but others are quite liberal. Electronic Arts is now the parent company of Maxis, which was created by an [[atheist]].
*Spore: The game revolves around the concept of [[Evolution]].

===HudsonSoft===
* ''Cho Aniki'' series: Blatantly of the LGBT agenda.

===Illusion Softworks===
* Mafia series: Glorifies every aspect of the Italian mafia, with the third Mafia game promoting the radical Black Panthers, and featuring a minor lesbian protagonist.

===Konami===
Konami has supported then-FLOTUS Michelle Obama's Let's Move program in 2013 during E3. In addition, they also tend to have very liberal games on market such as:

* The ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series by Hideo Kojima blatantly pushes anti-Americanism, post-modernism, nihilism, and also hints at anarchism being preferable to law and order. It also has some praise for May 1968, and Peace Walker infamously has most of the cast hero-worshipping ''[[Che Guevara]]''. Kojima was also shown to be a big Obama supporter, especially in regards to the latter wanting to get rid of nuclear weapons. There was also an anti-Colonial settlement in several of the games, and has also promoted LGBT politics in the form of Dr. Strangelove. Notable examples include:
** ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'' is notorious for being the first [[Postmodernism|postmodern]] game in the history of gaming. It also is extremely anti-American, with Hideo Kojima in his Grand Game Plan for the game even explicitly stating that America as a culture was meant to represent the biggest evil in the game, with the same source implying that Solid Snake, one of the few characters who was on the good spectrum, acted as a spy for Communist China.<ref>Metal Gear Solid 2: Grand Game Plan (http://www.gamepitches.com/2012/01/kojima-productions-metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-design-document/), page 36-37.
;Absolute evil in MGS2

Evil in Hollywood films has always changed depending on the time in which the film’s story takes place. Inthe American market, where audiences like to see good triumph over evil, the absolute enemy – be it a race,country or setting – has always changed with the values of the times. MGS2 will be developed with mainlythe American market in mind, though it will also consider countries in the European market, such as Germany, France, Britain and Italy. Therefore, the particulars of its ‘evil’ must be handled carefully. It should be noted that we face no such problem with Japan. 

Westerns -> Native Americans 

Post-WWII war films -> Germany, Japan 

Cold War-era spy films -> Russia 

Post-Cold War films -> China 

Following the signing of the friendship treaty between the US and China -> Japanese businesses(the collapse of the bubble economy) 

1990s -> Terrorism 

;MGS2’s evil
The evil in MGS2 is the American government. However, this does not refer to Americans in general, nor to any particular persons, but to the festering discharge that has built-up within the democratic state of America over the years. The intention is not to defame any race, state or ethnicity, but rather to look at the ‘monster’ that the country’s political structure has created. It is an intangible entity yet at the same time a massive menace to the world, about on the same level as the evil in The X-Files. It could be called a throwback to the somewhat classic type of evil. It is this hidden hand of the American government, the Patriots, that has both created madmen like Solidus and the members of Dead Cell and has also used them for its own ends. 

;Absolute evil

The Patriots -> the shadowy organization that controls the American government 

People used by them:

Solidus -> current President of the United States of America 

Colonel Gurlukovich -> a Russian who wishes to see his country rebuilt 

People they must be careful of: 

Vamp -> ex-Stasi 

Old Boy -> former Nazi army colonel 

Snake -> a spy for China?</ref> The same source also implies that it intended to push a feminist agenda.<ref>http://www.gamepitches.com/2012/01/kojima-productions-metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-design-document/

"'''Story''' 
Having an iconic female character (Fortune), like in the previous game, as well as an ordinary woman involved with the main character, will add both a realistic and romantic element to the game. 
‘The 21st century will be the age of women, when women will protect men’"</ref> Both main villains, who espoused American values (to the extent that they were even named Sons of Liberty and Patriots) and were fighting each other, were shown or heavily implied to be complicit in terrorist acts, and several of the characters, both good and bad, were shown to do very amoral things, including constantly betraying each other. Solid Snake in the ending later gave a message on how there was never such a thing as "absolute reality" and how "reality" was just "cleverly disguised fiction", meaning he was essentially pushing nihilism. The game also briefly implies that Solid Snake had conducted terrorist attacks while in Philanthropy, with it overall being glossed over. In addition, some of the main villains, the Gurlukovich Mercenaries, who were strongly implied to be Communists, were depicted in a more sympathetic light compared to the other villains. Ironically, the game ended up being released around the time of the September 11 attacks. Kojima, in an interview dated back in 1999, implied that the game was meant to push the exact same themes as ''The Matrix'' by [[the Wachowski Brothers]] (as they were known at the time, and who were personal friends of him), including the concept of how reality was an illusion.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20130328062143/http://www.gamespot.com/news/hideo-kojima-speaks-about-the-matrix-2448486</ref>
** ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'' has the player aiding implied Muslim terrorists and Communist insurgents in the first two acts. In addition, there was a brief promotion of the crackpot Global Warming ideology at the beginning of Act 4. It also depicts the main antagonist Liquid Ocelot's desire for the destruction of the Patriots and the creation of pure anarchy in a positive light nearing the end. It also juxtapositions the United States and the Soviet Union symbolism during Big Mama's speech, implying that they were little different from each other. It also glosses over the complications posed by Sunny "keeping the brain cell intact" (in particular, Drebin 893, a gun launderer, implies both that the resulting Patriot shutdown will result in a massive boom for his business, and also that the UN would end up taking over the entire planet after the events of the shutdown of the War Economy and the Patriots resulted in multiple countries going broke and being in significant enough debt that even PMC regulation laws wouldn't come close to closing it off, as well as America being affected to the degree that it has to give up on unilateralism, and also briefly implying that the UN will likely come the closest towards a successor group to the Patriots and that the cycle will continue, with the story treating it as drunken ramblings.), and also heavily implies a more unrealistic view of government control similar to more left-wing views on how things work when all the characters are acting as though if Liquid Ocelot either took control of the Patriots directly or otherwise just wiped them out altogether, the key essentials to human civilization - water, air, electricity, food, medicine, communication and transportation - would be negatively affected to catastrophic levels, many times forgetting that most if not all of those would either not have been impacted at all by the Patriots shutdown (due to existing well before the Patriots or the Philosophers before them were even an idea) or otherwise being a minor inconvenience at worst. Was also notable as being the first entry to the series to have a character (Laughing Octopus) drop the f-bomb in dialogue in the English release (in ''Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater'', the character EVA also dropped the f-bomb in English to Colonel Volgin in the Japanese version, but this was toned down overseas to "Go to hell!"). And while the game does have a subtle condemnation to [[gun control]] in the form of the Sons of the Patriots system, at the same time, it also seems to promote people killing each other for the sheer sake of it as evidenced by Liquid Ocelot's comments before his death, and also implies that to some extent, the gun control implanted by Liquid Ocelot when he took over the SOP system ended all conflict and treated that as a silver lining.
** ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker'' was very left-wing in its outlook, even by ''Metal Gear'' series standards. One of the more infamous aspects of the game had the various main characters, including the co-protagonists Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller, giving a very fawning account on the Marxist terrorist Che Guevara, completely ignoring his role in nearly causing the Cuban Missile Crisis to become a full on nuclear war despite two of the main villains doing exactly that, not to mention Big Boss trying to put a stop to two attempts at launching a nuke twice, one at Cuba and another at America. In the case of Big Boss and Miller, it also conflicts completely with their histories, which had them, respectively, feeling guilt for killing The Boss (as well as implying at one point that the Cuban Missile Crisis was ultimately responsible for the aforementioned action) and growing up in Japan during that time with the adults explicitly panicking respectively. Aside from Che, Miller and Big Boss also proceeded to briefly mention Mao Zedong once via his book ''On Protracted War'' while implying they similarly held him in high regard as well. The various characters also gave very anti-American views, including condemning the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, the firebombing of Tokyo, the post-war period of Japan, and also repeating the usual condemnations towards American involvement in South and Central America, many times completely ignoring or at most glossing over Soviet involvement in the region as well. One character, a French woman named Cecile Cosima Caminades, also was implied to be very sexually loose, and also gives a glowing account of the horrendous events of May 1968 in France (including falsely implying that the vast majority of Paris and even France as a whole had participated in or at least were influenced by the events of May 1968, despite it, similar to the Hippie movement, actually only being a minority rabble of Trotskyite and Maoist groups trying to impose their will on society, and that it actually ruined France rather than the game's implication that it actually turned out for the better unlike the Hippie movement or similar movements in Japan.) and also was a fangirl of notorious Existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre (her fangirlism to him was made more explicit in the Japanese version, where she actually squeals in excitement when Big Boss mentions that he was the same guy who infamously referred to Che Guevara as "the most complete man of the century."). It also has some implied LGBT agenda pushing in the form of Dr. Strangelove, who is strongly implied to be a lesbian, as well as one mission featuring Big Boss and Miller entering a date and being implied to have engaged in homosexual sex upon the completion. The CIA was also depicted in a very negative light, being the main antagonistic force in the game, and the initial main villain Hot Coldman, a station chief in Central America and an implied former Director for the CIA, was depicted as a madman. It also paints the FSLN in a sympathetic light and, in a clear breach with real-life history, depicts them actually revolting against the KGB late in the game, as well as largely glossing over their crimes (in an even more egregrious note, the Sandinista Comandante Amanda was implied in dialogue to be a Christian despite the fact that the FSLN, being a Communist organization, was explicitly Atheistic in its outlook). When covering the game at Tokyo Game Show 2009, Hideo Kojima heavily implied that deterrence was bad, as was holding any form of military at all.<ref>https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kojima-talks-peace-walker/1100-6230488/ "There's the philosophy of nuclear deterrence," Kojima continued. "America and Russia just kept piling up on their nuclear weapons. And when you have an army, it deters enemies from invading. That's yet another theory of deterrence. Why can't we get rid of nuclear arms and soldiers from the world? I'm sure that everyone's thought about it. And then there's the reality, which I hope players will think about as they're playing Peace Walker. Back then, it was a time when these theories were actually thought to be effective. And now, we're paying the price. We've still got tons of nuclear weapons scattered all over the world."</ref> In addition, it also had Kojima during development reporting glowingly on Barack Obama's Prague Speech on a World without Nukes.<ref>http://ameblo.jp/kp-blogcast/entry-10361111977.html 『核なき世界』をプラハで宣言したオバマ大統領がノーベル平和賞を受賞した。ようやく時代が動き出したのか。ピースウォーカー計画始動？そうなる事を願いたい。『平和は歩いては来ない』『お互い歩み寄るしかないのだ』 Gymにて。 ("President Obama, who talked about a "world without nuclear weapons" in Prague, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Has history finally made its move? Could this be the beginning of the Peace Walker Project? I hope so. "Peace won't come to us." "We have to meet it halfway" At the gym."?)</ref> There's also a slight joke where the characters refer to Hideo Kojima as "god." Paz also at one point channels anti-Colonial sentiments regarding outside markets. There are also two missions, one having Snake (who is 39 years old at the time of the game) date as well as being strongly implied to have had sex with Paz (who at the time of the mission was believed to be sixteen years old), and the other being the aforementioned Miller mission.
**''Metal Gear Solid V'': Like with ''Peace Walker'', it depicts several anti-American references throughout both games. In the first part of the game, ''Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes'', it depicts a black site in Cuba that was all but stated to be Guantanamo Bay in what was clearly intended to be a condemnation towards its existence, including implying that the terrorists placed there had just been abducted in the dead of night and didn't actually do anything wrong. It also showcased some extremely brutal torture, including them forcing a kid to rape a girl, as well as stuffing a bomb down said girl's vagina. It also depicts the Marines in a very negative light. One of the side missions for the game also has the player infiltrating the base with the explicit mission of assassinating members of a Marine Sniper-Spotter team who had previously been deployed to Laos due to their being successful in killing several high-ranking members of the NVA and other Communist organizations in the region, with the person giving the mission being KGB, while another mission has the player sabotaging anti-air guns as well as doing a helicopter raid on the base. Kojima, in an interview with the Guardian, also makes it perfectly clear that up to that point, he intended for his games to question America's role in the world, and implied he wanted to show it in a negative light.<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/18/hideo-kojima-interview-metal-gear-solid-phantom-pain
"With Ground Zeroes he [Hideo Kojima] escalated the stakes by taking aim at North America’s contemporary policies towards terror suspects. “In the past the US was the centre of the world, where everything was happening,” he says. “I think my stories have always sought to question this, maybe even criticise it. But the situation is changing. America is not seen as the centre of the world any more. So the focus of my stories is shifting alongside with that change in the real world.”
"It’s a diplomatic answer, but Ground Zeroes is not an especially diplomatic video game. Its incarcerated terror suspects kneel in wire cages, bound at the hands and feet with blinding sacks over their heads. As you hoist them on to Snake’s shoulder and sprint to the evacuation helicopter, some break down in tears either through fear or relief. It’s grimly political. “[Guantanamo] was definitely something that I made decision to address in the game,” Kojima says. “Hollywood continues to present the US army as being the good guys, always defeating the aliens or foreigners. I am trying to shift that focus. These movies might not be the only way to view current affairs. I am trying to present an alternate view in these games.”"</ref> The ending for the main mission as well as one of the tapes has the character Skull Face, when describing Here's to You, falsely referring to [[Sacco and Vanzetti]] as having been innocent of the crimes they were executed for. In the second half, ''Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain'', there were several anti-American references, such as having a character named Code Talker refer negatively to the American Indian Boarding School as well as developing genocidal views on the English language and his being portrayed sympathetically for this, as well as Miller making a reference to the pejorative "American Empire." Ronald Reagan was also mentioned as well as his Evil Empire speech, with a more sarcastic element to it. In addition, although the protagonists do fight against the USSR, their missions in Africa have them aiding the Communist backed MPLA, and also make several anti-Colonial references such as Western Powers being "parasitic" towards their natural resources. Like before, it mentions the FSLN in a glowing manner, even explicitly founding a socialist state as well as being backed by the USSR. In addition, writer Kenji Yano also implied that Big Boss being Ishmael instead of Huey Emmerich was because they wanted to avoid a pro-American bias regarding morality.<ref>http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=25955
Yano says that Kojima explained the structure of MGSV to him as early as 2011, and all the different elements were already in place: from the themes (such as phantom pain and retaliation) to the motif of Moby Dick. “However, at that point Ishmael was actually Huey. Snake was Ahab, and Diamond Dogs’ enemy was America. It was set up so that the story, being told by Huey (Ishmael) as an American citizen, would be biased toward the American perspective, showing America as being right the whole time.” According to Yano, the Moby Dick connection is also meant as an allegory for the powers that drive the world, as whales used to be more than just a source of food. “Of course their oil was prized, but also other parts such as the bones and baleen played an important role in people’s lifestyles. […] World maps are thought to have come about thanks to the whaling trade. In short, whaling was inseparable from people’s lives at the time. You could even say it had “infiltrated” their lives.” With MGSV, Kojima brought this theme to a new century: “What’s important is that Kojima-san didn’t just transplant the motif from Moby-Dick. I think it’s more a case of these two creators, Melville and Kojima, relentlessly thinking through the way that the world works, and arriving at the same answer.” This connects to the setting of the game: “if we look at the game from the energy perspective, it’s obvious that Afghanistan and Africa would be the settings for the events in MGSV. Each produces oil, and each is a source of rare metals and other mined resources.” Of course, both Moby Dick and MGSV share the theme of revenge. “As Skull Face stated in MGSV, the world is an endless loop of action and reaction. It’s always an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. […] Like Moby-Dick, MGSV is also a tale of revenge.” Why was Ishmael changed from Huey to Big Boss? Yano believes the answer to that lies in what Ahab represents: “Although Ahab has only his personal revenge, when the character is superimposed onto American righteousness, he serves as an analogy for how justification for revenge based on instinctive national memory is converted into a just cause.” He continues: “But in MGSV, it’s actually America that’s the overarching Moby Dick. Big Boss is Ahab in the sense that he’s been maimed by America in the past. Big Boss turns his yearning for revenge into bonds that bind him together with comrades who share his wish to retaliate against America (or its self-righteous justifications). However, from America’s point of view it’s Big Boss that’s Moby Dick. So what we can see in MGSV is actually an attempt to depict battle between Ahab and Ahab, or perhaps Moby Dick and Moby Dick.” This, according to Yano, explains why Kojima chose to switch the role of Ahab from Huey to Big Boss. “To be more precise, the aim is to reveal that the system the world runs on defines Big Boss’s existence as “evil.” That’s why MGSV tells you distinctly that Ahab is you, the player. It says, now you have to experience first-hand the absurdity of being branded a villain by the manipulating ways of the global status quo. […] For that message to be put across, it can’t be Huey telling it, since he’s on the American side. It has to be Big Boss himself that delivers the message.”</ref> In addition, there was an ending for disarming all nukes on a server that implied that all nukes had been gotten rid of, which also featured a quotation by Barack Obama as part of the credits.

===MachineGames===
* ''Wolfenstein II'': The game has a Nazi occupation in America, with the twitter promotion making an unsubtle attempt at connecting this plot point with the Donald Trump presidency and his electorate. Was also rather notorious for not only this element, but also further demonstration of [[fake news]] by the left-wing media including Newsweek promoting the same claim, as well as indirectly hinting at Russian collusion.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/fakenews-newsweek-writer-calls-innocent-people-nazis-for-criticizing-video-game-without-verifying/</ref>
===Midway Games===
* ''[[Ms. Pac-Man]]'': Pro-[[feminist]] arcade game that was an unathourized spinoff of ''[[Pac-Man]]''.

===Radical Games===
* ''The Simpsons Road Rage'': Blatantly pushes an anti-nuclear energy agenda, as the premise of the game involves Mr. Burns buying the public transit system and producing nuclear-powered buses, with it clearly being treated in a negative light as the game expects the player to do a volunteer taxi service to buy back the public transit system from Mr. Burns, with the taxi service being ironically a lot MORE hazardous to people's health due to extremely reckless driving and traffic violations, which is actively encouraged. The game, when first unveiling the nuclear buses, also shows the character Hans Moleman emitting a green glow and then begging for someone to kill him while in obvious agony as well as the bus itself emitting a similar green glow when Mr. Burns declares it to be "cheaper, faster, and completely safe", carrying the obvious implication that Burns was lying, even though studies have shown that nuclear power is actually much safer for the environment overall when used right and a lot more cost effective. The game was also an explicit knock-off of ''Crazy Taxi'', to the extent that one of its claim to fame was being the subject of a lawsuit by Sega, the creators of ''Crazy Taxi'', against Fox Entertainment for the similarities.

===Rockstar Games===
* [[Grand Theft Auto]] series: This whole series promotes alcohol, drugs, tobacco, crime, pornography, and a bunch of other gobbledygook. [[Grand Theft Auto V]] was probably the worst as it did everything it could to demonize wealthy businessmen, FBI agents, country people, and lawyers. [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] was probably the second worst as it was pro-illegal immigration.
* Midnight Club series: Same basic premise as Grand Theft Auto, only you're playing as a street racer instead of a car thief.

===Ubisoft===

Ubisoft claims to be a very diverse company. It seems they aren't very diverse politically as they have some of the most liberal games on market

*The Assassin's Creed franchise: Anti-Christian, as it claims that Jesus Christ was a fraud,<ref>http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Jesus_Christ</ref> with the villains of the series being the Knights Templar. The worst of the franchise is Syndicate, which has you killing capitalists in Victorian age London, working with the evolutionist [[Charles Darwin]] and [[communist]] [[Karl Marx]]. Ubisoft also had a transgender in the game, even though such a person was nonexistent back then. Only two games exist in the franchise that are in any way conservative: The third, which deals with the American Revolution and depicts the Founding Fathers in a positive light (although the DLC has them depicted negatively), and Assassin's Creed Unity, which depicted the French Revolution and its founders in a very negative light.

* Watch Dogs 2: While the first game is generally conservative (Pro-family, Anti-big government, Anti-crime), the sequel is one of the most liberal games to date. The main characters are anarchists, and the game has you fighting big corporations. You also have to work with many gays and transgenders. Also, in one mission the player must take down a church and expose it as fake. Even though the church in the game is meant to symbolize the cult of [[Scientology]],<ref>.http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/20876/20161027/watch-dogs-2-scientology-tom-cruise-side-mission.htm</ref> there are various Anti-Christian undertones, such as a cross being depicted in an evil light with the words "False Prophets" being put under it. It is in this mission where you must also work with a gender-confused mayor, who is mad with the church for leaking videos of his mutilations onto the internet.

* Farcry 5: Even though not released yet, there is a lot pointing to the idea that this game will be quite liberal. The main villains of the game will be white, Christian, right-wingers in Montana,<ref>https://www.infowars.com/villains-in-upcoming-video-game-are-white-christian-right-wing-extremists-from-montana/</ref> while the previous game villains were more politically neutral (they include a psychotic pirate and an atheistic dictator).

==Debatable whether liberal==
===Activision===
*Call of Duty 2: Like most entries in the franchise, it ultimately promotes American values and the military, as well as the British during World War II as well. However, at least one of the main campaigns depicts the Soviets in a positive manner due to it focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad.
===Capcom===
*''Resident Evil'' series: The games generally have a subtle anti-capitalist and anti-American agenda. However, it also has a condemnation against social Darwinism and eugenics, as most of the main villains in the franchise tended to promote some form of eugenics as well as social Darwinism as their motives. In addition, one of the protagonists, Barry Burton, was implied in the English localization to be a member of the [[National Rifle Association]], and the games also to some extent featured pro-family messaging, as Barry Burton was shown to be very loyal to his family, and the character Claire Redfield is depicted as being loyal to her brother Chris, spending Resident Evil 2 trying to find him and in Code Veronica refuses to allow Albert Wesker to harm him. The games also showcase government corruption in a scarily realistic and negative light in the form of Albert Wesker (who was a former police officer in the first Resident Evil) and Brian Irons (the police chief for the Raccoon City Police Department in Resident Evil 2). Resident Evil 4 also has a condemnation against pagan religions in the form of the Los Illuminados.
*''Dead Rising 2'' and ''Dead Rising 2: Off the Record'': Although it has largely the same plotline as in the first ''Dead Rising'', it also to some extent is pro-family, due to the main character trying to save his daughter from infection. In addition, unlike the first or third main entries to the series, the hidden antagonist is not a military person, but instead a former rapper and TV executive who orchestrated the entire outbreak to boost ratings as well as steal wealth, acting as a subtle condemntation to [[Hollywood values]].

===Konami===
*''Metal Gear Solid''/''Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes'': Although the first game does have condemnation towards Cloning and genetic engineering, and also has (albeit unintentionally) a pro-life/anti-abortion message due to Liquid Snake, when describing the process of the Les Enfants Terribles' creation, in particular its use of abortion to encourage fetal growth, explicitly labeling it as murder (although in that case, he attributed the act of murder more to himself and his brother Solid Snake, both byproducts of the project, than to the people actually responsible for the Super Baby Method), as well as promoting the concept of redemption to some extent, and also paints terrorism in an appropriately bad light, it at the same time is rife with anti-Americanism among both heroes and villains (although obviously not to the same extent as in later entries) as well as pushing an anti-nuclear and anti-war agenda, both of which seemed to focus more on America doing so than other countries, in particular Russia and China (specifically, the character Nastasha Romanenko, a member of NEST, spent most of her time condemning America for using nuclear weapons or even using nuclear power at all, and giving very little, if any criticism towards Russia and China for their having nukes, despite the fact that the event that caused her to hold a strong hatred for nukes, Chernobyl, having originated from within the Soviet bloc).

===Nintendo===
*''Metroid: Other M:'' Although largely part of the Metroid series and retaining some of its more conservative elements (namely, the promotion of parenthood and condemning the concept of playing god), the game was rather infamous for several criticisms it experienced in the game, namely the characterization of Adam Malkovich and his relationship with Samus due to it coming across more as promoting an abusive relationship (such as Adam shooting Samus in the back before sacrificing himself). The game, unlike in the Prime series, also depicts the military in a more negative manner, as a flashback had Samus being restrained from turning her back on Adam despite her intention being to save Ian, his brother, from death, as well as one of the more controversial elements of the game being the authorization element which at one point has Adam failing to actually authorize the Varia Suit to allow Samus to traverse through a superheated area despite it nearly killing her until a long while afterward, and also had as its main plot a conspiracy to weaponized Metroids at the order of the Federation military (as well as having someone within Samus's group attempt to assassinate each of the members in order to silence them to any potential discoveries to the conspiracy in question via the character The Deleter).

===Radical Games===
*''The Simpsons Hit and Run'': Although there are some liberal themes, such as Marge's crusade against Bonestorm-an implied violent video game-being depicted in a negative light, some characters engaging in lawlessness in a similar manner to ''Grand Theft Auto'', and one of the later chapters for the game having the main antagonists supply the townspeople with ray guns as well as tainted cola in a way that could be interpreted as supporting gun control, it also had several conservative messages, namely pro-family, as two of the chapters dealt with Lisa and Marge trying to find Bart after he went missing and trying to find out the cause behind his addled behavior, and later attempting to stop the production of Buzz Cola due to its effects on Bart, respectively, the first chapter and most of the game features a condemnation towards mass surveillance due to the presence of surveillance vans and wasp cameras and their being treated in a clear negative light, especially in a matter that isn't essential to stopping a threat, and is also anti-Hollywood values due to the main antagonists, aliens by the name of Kang and Kodos, deliberately trying to cause a ruckus in Springfield, including the aforementioned distribution of ray guns and tainted Buzz Cola to cause a shootout and later reanimating the dead via Buzz Cola, plus using the wasp cameras and surveillance vans all in an attempt to boost ratings of their reality show "Foolish Earthlings," which as the title implies deals with depicting various people of Earth, in particular Springfield, doing various stupid actions. Also has a rarity in the franchise where nuclear power is actually depicted in a positive light due to it ultimately being the only thing that stopped Kang and Kodos's alien invasion. There is also a humorous condemnation towards gun-free school zones, as during the same level that Bart has to stop the distribution of ray guns to the populace at Squidport, Principal Skinner explicitly references the no-gun policy among students at Springfield Elementary when confiscating Bart's ray gun, despite Bart making clear he only needed the gun to supply evidence towards an evil plot.

===Square-Enix===
*''Final Fantasy II:'' In initial releases for the game, the game had an undeniably pro-Christian element to the games, and also condemned Satanic worshippers and totalitarianism in the form of the game's main villain Emperor Mateus Palamecia, who explicitly goes to Hell when he dies and tries to take over the world with the powers he gained from Hell. However, the remakes starting with the GBA version added in a new mode called "Dawn of Souls" which has the killed party members fighting against the Emperor's light half who took over Heaven, which could be interpreted as an anti-Christian message.
*''Final Fantasy VI:'' Promotes parenthood due to Terra Branford becoming a mother figure for the Mobliz orphans late into the game, which also had her learning the concept of love, and also showcases the horrors of totalitarian ideologies in the form of the Gestahlian Empire, and also offers a condemnation of [[nihilism]] in the form of the game's main antagonist Kefka. However, Terra also makes a more relativistic remark when trying to refute Kefka regarding finding meanings in things.
*''Final Fantasy VII:'' Promotes the concept of redemption and condemns unethical science in the form of Professor Hojo, but on the other hand, it also has a more anti-Capitalist view on things with Shin-Ra, the main antagonists, being a corporation, and is hinted to promote environmentalism due to the main protagonists being eco-terrorists.

===Ubisoft===
*Assassins Creed 3: The Assassins help the American Revolution by killing the Templar leaders of the British. However, a DLC came out for the game that has you kill all of the [[Founding Fathers]].

===Indie/Small Developers===

• Undertale: On one hand, it teaches the importance of core Christian values such as mercy and compassion by discouraging killing characters, and instead solving conflicts non-violently. On the other hand, it involves homosexual and bisexual relationships, some of which may involve the player character (who is 12 years of age and androgynous) depending on what dialogue choices the player makes.

Essay:Worst Liberal Video Games

2017-05-25T15:41:31Z

InwardHurdle: Added another game

The video game industry is a very liberal market. Here are some of the worst examples of liberalism in video games by developer:

==Ubisoft==

Ubisoft claims to be a very diverse company. It seems they aren't very diverse politically as they have some of the most liberal games on market

• The Assassin's Creed franchise: Anti-Christian, as it claims that Jesus Christ was a fraud<ref>http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Jesus_Christ</ref>, with the villains of the series being the Knights Templar. The worst of the franchise is Syndicate, which has you killing capitalists in Victorian age London, working with the evolutionist [[Charles Darwin]] and [[communist]] [[Karl Marx]]. Ubisoft also had a transgender in the game, even though such a person was nonexistent back then. The only slightly conservative game is the third, where the Assassins help the American Revolution by killing the Templar leaders of the British, and Assassin's Creed Unity, which specifically condemned the French Revolution and its adherents. However, a DLC came out for the former game that has you kill all of the [[Founding Fathers]].

• Watch Dogs 2: While the first game is generally conservative (Pro-family, Anti-big government, Anti-crime), the sequel is one of the most liberal games to date. The main characters are anarchists, and the game has you fighting big corporations. You also have to work with many gays and transgenders. Also, in one mission the player must take down a church and expose it as fake. Even though the church in the game is meant to symbolize the cult of [[Scientology]]<ref>.http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/20876/20161027/watch-dogs-2-scientology-tom-cruise-side-mission.htm</ref>, there are various Anti-Christian undertones, such as a cross being depicted in an evil light with the words "False Prophets" being put under it. It is in this mission where you must also work with a gender-confused mayor, who is mad with the church for leaking videos of his mutilations onto the internet.

• Farcry 5: Even though not released yet, there is a lot pointing to the idea that this game will be quite liberal. The main villains of the game will be white, Christian, right-wingers in Montana<ref>https://www.infowars.com/villains-in-upcoming-video-game-are-white-christian-right-wing-extremists-from-montana/</ref>, while the previous game villains were more politically neutral (they include a psychotic pirate and an atheistic dictator).

==Konami==
Konami has supported then-FLOTUS Michelle Obama's Let's Move program in 2013 during E3. In addition, they also tend to have very liberal games on market such as:

* The ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' series by Hideo Kojima blatantly pushes anti-Americanism, post-modernism, nihilism, and also hints at anarchism being preferable to law and order. It also has some praise for May 1968, and Peace Walker infamously has most of the cast hero-worshipping ''[[Che Guevara]]''. Kojima was also shown to be a big Obama supporter, especially in regards to the latter wanting to get rid of nuclear weapons. There was also an anti-Colonial settlement in several of the games, and has also promoted LGBT politics in the form of Dr. Strangelove. Notable examples include:
** ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'' is notorious for being the first [[Postmodernism|postmodern]] game in the history of gaming. It also is extremely anti-American, with Hideo Kojima in his Grand Game Plan for the game even explicitly stating that America as a culture was meant to represent the biggest evil in the game, with the same source implying that Solid Snake, one of the few characters who was on the good spectrum, acted as a spy for Communist China.<ref>Metal Gear Solid 2: Grand Game Plan (http://www.gamepitches.com/2012/01/kojima-productions-metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-design-document/), page 36-37.
;Absolute evil in MGS2

Evil in Hollywood films has always changed depending on the time in which the film’s story takes place. Inthe American market, where audiences like to see good triumph over evil, the absolute enemy – be it a race,country or setting – has always changed with the values of the times. MGS2 will be developed with mainlythe American market in mind, though it will also consider countries in the European market, such as Germany, France, Britain and Italy. Therefore, the particulars of its ‘evil’ must be handled carefully. It should be noted that we face no such problem with Japan. 

Westerns -> Native Americans 

Post-WWII war films -> Germany, Japan 

Cold War-era spy films -> Russia 

Post-Cold War films -> China 

Following the signing of the friendship treaty between the US and China -> Japanese businesses(the collapse of the bubble economy) 

1990s -> Terrorism 

;MGS2’s evil
The evil in MGS2 is the American government. However, this does not refer to Americans in general, nor to any particular persons, but to the festering discharge that has built-up within the democratic state of America over the years. The intention is not to defame any race, state or ethnicity, but rather to look at the ‘monster’ that the country’s political structure has created. It is an intangible entity yet at the same time a massive menace to the world, about on the same level as the evil in The X-Files. It could be called a throwback to the somewhat classic type of evil. It is this hidden hand of the American government, the Patriots, that has both created madmen like Solidus and the members of Dead Cell and has also used them for its own ends. 

;Absolute evil

The Patriots -> the shadowy organization that controls the American government 

People used by them:

Solidus -> current President of the United States of America 

Colonel Gurlukovich -> a Russian who wishes to see his country rebuilt 

People they must be careful of: 

Vamp -> ex-Stasi 

Old Boy -> former Nazi army colonel 

Snake -> a spy for China?</ref> The same source also implies that it intended to push a feminist agenda.<ref>http://www.gamepitches.com/2012/01/kojima-productions-metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-design-document/
Page 6 
"'''Story''' 
Having an iconic female character (Fortune), like in the previous game, as well as an ordinary woman involved with the main character, will add both a realistic and romantic element to the game. 
‘The 21st century will be the age of women, when women will protect men’"</ref> Both main villains, who espoused American values (to the extent that they were even named Sons of Liberty and Patriots) and were fighting each other, were shown or heavily implied to be complicit in terrorist acts, and several of the characters, both good and bad, were shown to do very amoral things, including constantly betraying each other. Solid Snake in the ending later gave a message on how there was never such a thing as "absolute reality" and how "reality" was just "cleverly disguised fiction", meaning he was essentially pushing nihilism. In addition, some of the main villains, the Gurlukovich Mercenaries, who were strongly implied to be Communists, were depicted in a more sympathetic light compared to the other villains.
** ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'' has the player aiding implied Muslim terrorists and Communist insurgents in the first two acts. In addition, there was a brief promotion of the crackpot Global Warming ideology at the beginning of Act 4. It also depicts the main antagonist Liquid Ocelot's desire for the destruction of the Patriots and the creation of pure anarchy in a positive light nearing the end. It also juxtapositions the United States and the Soviet Union symbolism during Big Mama's speech, implying that they were little different from each other. It also glosses over the complications posed by Sunny "keeping the brain cell intact", and also heavily implies a more unrealistic view of government control similar to more left-wing views on how things work when all the characters are acting as though if Liquid Ocelot either took control of the Patriots directly or otherwise just wiped them out altogether, the human essentials of water, air, electricity, food, medicine, communications and transportations would be negatively affected to catastrophic levels, many times forgetting that most if not all of those would either not have been impacted at all by the Patriots shutdown (due to existing well before the Patriots or the Philosophers before them were even an idea) or otherwise being a minor inconvenience at worst.
** ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker'' was very left-wing in its outlook, even by ''Metal Gear'' series standards. One of the more infamous aspects of the game had the various main characters, including the co-protagonists Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller, giving a very fawning account on the Marxist terrorist Che Guevara, completely ignoring his role in nearly causing the Cuban Missile Crisis to become a full on nuclear war despite two of the main villains doing exactly that, not to mention Big Boss trying to put a stop to two attempts at launching a nuke twice, one at Cuba and another at America. In the case of Big Boss and Miller, it also conflicts completely with their histories, which had them, respectively, feeling guilt for killing The Boss (as well as implying at one point that the Cuban Missile Crisis was ultimately responsible for the aforementioned action) and growing up in Japan during that time with the adults explicitly panicking respectively. The various characters also gave very anti-American views, including condemning the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, the firebombing of Tokyo, the post-war period of Japan, and also repeating the usual condemnations towards American involvement in South and Central America, many times completely ignoring or at most glossing over Soviet involvement in the region as well. One character, a French woman named Cecile Cosima Caminades, also was implied to be very sexually loose, and also gives a glowing account of the horrendous events of May 1968 in France and also was a fangirl of notorious Existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre (her fangirlism to him was made more explicit in the Japanese version, where she actually squeals in excitement when Big Boss mentions that he was the same guy who infamously referred to Che Guevara as "the most complete man of the century."). It also has some implied LGBT agenda pushing in the form of Dr. Strangelove, who is strongly implied to be a lesbian. The CIA was also depicted in a very negative light, being the main antagonistic force in the game, and the initial main villain Hot Coldman, a station chief in Central America and an implied former Director for the CIA, was depicted as a madman. It also paints the FSLN in a sympathetic light and, in a clear breach with real-life history, depicts them actually revolting against the KGB late in the game, as well as largely glossing over their crimes (in an even more egregrious note, the Sandinista Comandante Amanda was implied in dialogue to be a Christian despite the fact that the FSLN, being a Communist organization, was explicitly Atheistic in its outlook). When covering the game at Tokyo Game Show 2009, Hideo Kojima heavily implied that deterrence was bad, as was holding any form of military at all.<ref>https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kojima-talks-peace-walker/1100-6230488/ "There's the philosophy of nuclear deterrence," Kojima continued. "America and Russia just kept piling up on their nuclear weapons. And when you have an army, it deters enemies from invading. That's yet another theory of deterrence. Why can't we get rid of nuclear arms and soldiers from the world? I'm sure that everyone's thought about it. And then there's the reality, which I hope players will think about as they're playing Peace Walker. Back then, it was a time when these theories were actually thought to be effective. And now, we're paying the price. We've still got tons of nuclear weapons scattered all over the world."</ref> In addition, it also had Kojima during development reporting glowingly on Barack Obama's Prague Speech on a World without Nukes.<ref>http://ameblo.jp/kp-blogcast/entry-10361111977.html 『核なき世界』をプラハで宣言したオバマ大統領がノーベル平和賞を受賞した。ようやく時代が動き出したのか。ピースウォーカー計画始動？そうなる事を願いたい。『平和は歩いては来ない』『お互い歩み寄るしかないのだ』 Gymにて。 ("President Obama, who talked about a "world without nuclear weapons" in Prague, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Has history finally made its move? Could this be the beginning of the Peace Walker Project? I hope so. "Peace won't come to us." "We have to meet it halfway" At the gym."?)</ref> There's also a slight joke where the characters refer to Hideo Kojima as "god." Paz also at one point channels anti-Colonial sentiments regarding outside markets.
**''Metal Gear Solid V'': Like with ''Peace Walker'', it depicts several anti-American references throughout both games. In the first part of the game, ''Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes'', it depicts a black site in Cuba that was all but stated to be Guantanamo Bay in what was clearly intended to be a condemnation towards its existence, including implying that the terrorists placed there had just been abducted in the dead of night and didn't actually do anything wrong. It also showcased some extremely brutal torture, including them forcing a kid to rape a girl, as well as stuffing a bomb down said girl's vagina. It also depicts the Marines in a very negative light. One of the side missions for the game also has the player infiltrating the base with the explicit mission of assassinating members of a Marine Sniper-Spotter team who had previously been deployed to Laos due to their being successful in killing several high-ranking members of the NVA and other Communist organizations in the region, with the person giving the mission being KGB, while another mission has the player sabotaging anti-air guns as well as doing a helicopter raid on the base. Kojima, in an interview with the Guardian, also makes it perfectly clear that up to that point, he intended for his games to question America's role in the world, and implied he wanted to show it in a negative light.<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/18/hideo-kojima-interview-metal-gear-solid-phantom-pain
"With Ground Zeroes he [Hideo Kojima] escalated the stakes by taking aim at North America’s contemporary policies towards terror suspects. “In the past the US was the centre of the world, where everything was happening,” he says. “I think my stories have always sought to question this, maybe even criticise it. But the situation is changing. America is not seen as the centre of the world any more. So the focus of my stories is shifting alongside with that change in the real world.”
"It’s a diplomatic answer, but Ground Zeroes is not an especially diplomatic video game. Its incarcerated terror suspects kneel in wire cages, bound at the hands and feet with blinding sacks over their heads. As you hoist them on to Snake’s shoulder and sprint to the evacuation helicopter, some break down in tears either through fear or relief. It’s grimly political. “[Guantanamo] was definitely something that I made decision to address in the game,” Kojima says. “Hollywood continues to present the US army as being the good guys, always defeating the aliens or foreigners. I am trying to shift that focus. These movies might not be the only way to view current affairs. I am trying to present an alternate view in these games.”" </ref> In the second half, ''Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain'', there were several anti-American references, such as having a character named Code Talker refer negatively to the American Indian Boarding School as well as developing genocidal views on the English language and his being portrayed sympathetically for this, as well as Miller making a reference to the pejorative "American Empire." Ronald Reagan was also mentioned as well as his Evil Empire speech, with a more sarcastic element to it. In addition, although the protagonists do fight against the USSR, their missions in Africa have them aiding the Communist backed MPLA, and also make several anti-Colonial references such as Western Powers being "parasitic" towards their natural resources. Like before, it mentions the FSLN in a glowing manner, even explicitly founding a socialist state as well as being backed by the USSR. In addition, writer Kenji Yano also implied that Big Boss being Ishmael instead of Huey Emmerich was because they wanted to avoid a pro-American bias regarding morality.<ref>http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=25955
Yano says that Kojima explained the structure of MGSV to him as early as 2011, and all the different elements were already in place: from the themes (such as phantom pain and retaliation) to the motif of Moby Dick. “However, at that point Ishmael was actually Huey. Snake was Ahab, and Diamond Dogs’ enemy was America. It was set up so that the story, being told by Huey (Ishmael) as an American citizen, would be biased toward the American perspective, showing America as being right the whole time.” According to Yano, the Moby Dick connection is also meant as an allegory for the powers that drive the world, as whales used to be more than just a source of food. “Of course their oil was prized, but also other parts such as the bones and baleen played an important role in people’s lifestyles. […] World maps are thought to have come about thanks to the whaling trade. In short, whaling was inseparable from people’s lives at the time. You could even say it had “infiltrated” their lives.” With MGSV, Kojima brought this theme to a new century: “What’s important is that Kojima-san didn’t just transplant the motif from Moby-Dick. I think it’s more a case of these two creators, Melville and Kojima, relentlessly thinking through the way that the world works, and arriving at the same answer.” This connects to the setting of the game: “if we look at the game from the energy perspective, it’s obvious that Afghanistan and Africa would be the settings for the events in MGSV. Each produces oil, and each is a source of rare metals and other mined resources.” Of course, both Moby Dick and MGSV share the theme of revenge. “As Skull Face stated in MGSV, the world is an endless loop of action and reaction. It’s always an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. […] Like Moby-Dick, MGSV is also a tale of revenge.” Why was Ishmael changed from Huey to Big Boss? Yano believes the answer to that lies in what Ahab represents: “Although Ahab has only his personal revenge, when the character is superimposed onto American righteousness, he serves as an analogy for how justification for revenge based on instinctive national memory is converted into a just cause.” He continues: “But in MGSV, it’s actually America that’s the overarching Moby Dick. Big Boss is Ahab in the sense that he’s been maimed by America in the past. Big Boss turns his yearning for revenge into bonds that bind him together with comrades who share his wish to retaliate against America (or its self-righteous justifications). However, from America’s point of view it’s Big Boss that’s Moby Dick. So what we can see in MGSV is actually an attempt to depict battle between Ahab and Ahab, or perhaps Moby Dick and Moby Dick.” This, according to Yano, explains why Kojima chose to switch the role of Ahab from Huey to Big Boss. “To be more precise, the aim is to reveal that the system the world runs on defines Big Boss’s existence as “evil.” That’s why MGSV tells you distinctly that Ahab is you, the player. It says, now you have to experience first-hand the absurdity of being branded a villain by the manipulating ways of the global status quo. […] For that message to be put across, it can’t be Huey telling it, since he’s on the American side. It has to be Big Boss himself that delivers the message.”</ref> In addition, there was an ending for disarming all nukes on a server that implied that all nukes had been gotten rid of, which also featured a quotation by Barack Obama as part of the credits.

==Rockstar North==
* [[Grand Theft Auto]] series: This whole series promotes alcohol, drugs, tobacco, crime, pornography, and a bunch of other gobbledygook. [[Grand Theft Auto V]] was probably the worst as it did everything it could to demonize wealthy businessmen, FBI agents, country people, and lawyers. [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] was probably the second worst as it was pro-illegal immigration.
* Midnight Club series: Same basic premise as Grand Theft Auto, only you're playing as a street racer instead of a car thief.

==Illusion Softworks==
* Mafia series: Glorifies every aspect of the Italian mafia.

==Debatable whether liberal==
===Indie/Small Developers===

• Undertale: On one hand, it teaches the importance of core Christian values such as mercy and compassion by discouraging killing characters, and instead solving conflicts non-violently. On the other hand, it involves homosexual and bisexual relationships, some of which may involve the player character (who is 12 years of age) depending on what dialogue choices the player makes.

===Capcom===
*Resident Evil series: The games generally have a subtle anti-capitalist and anti-American agenda. However, it also has a condemnation against social Darwinism and eugenics, as most of the main villains in the franchise tended to promote some form of eugenics as well as social Darwinism as their motives. In addition, one of the protagonists, Barry Burton, was implied in the English localization to be a member of the [[National Rifle Association]], and the games also to some extent featured pro-family messaging, as Barry Burton was shown to be very loyal to his family, and the character Claire Redfield is depicted as being loyal to her brother Chris, spending Resident Evil 2 trying to find him and in Code Veronica refuses to allow Albert Wesker to harm him.

Essay:Worst Liberal TV Shows

2016-11-22T23:59:08Z

InwardHurdle: Added another show and fixed a spelling mistake

Starting with the infamous "Rural purge" of the early-1970s (when [[CBS]] cancelled most of its Western dramas and all of its rural/family-themed sitcoms and variety shows in favor of "socially relevant" urban-themed shows) and increasingly into the present, liberal-leaning television series creators, producers and writers have put shows on the air that appeal more to their own personal viewpoints than to the tastes of most of the general public. As a result, (and also partly due to the increase in TV channels since that period), many TV shows currently on the air have undergone decreases in viewership and the declining ratings that go with them. To liberals in the media, however, declining TV ratings and unsatisfied audiences mean less to them than pushing [[liberal ideology]] (including playing up [[socialism]], [[feminism]] and the [[homosexual agenda]] and depicting them in a positive light while denigrating [[religion]], the [[family]] and [[traditional values]]) and forcing public acceptance of it does. Shown below is a list of some of the worst liberal TV shows, past and present.

|1971–1979
|[[CBS]]
|
|American adaptation by liberal TV producer [[Norman Lear]] of the [[BBC]] series ''Till Death Us Do Part''. In this series, Lear inaccurately depicted Archie Bunker, a blue-collar conservative and head of the Bunker family, with liberal traits like [[bigotry]] and ignorance while depicting his son-in-law, socially liberal and politically [[leftist]] [[hippie]] and [[Democrat Party|Democrat]] supporter Mike Stivic (referred to as "Meathead" by Archie), as the "voice of reason" (in the original British series, Mike's counterpart on that show, Mike Rawlins, was a [[Trotskyism|Trotskyist]]), with many episodes focusing on the political, philosophical and cultural clashes between Archie and Mike while Archie's wife Edith and their daughter Gloria tried to keep the peace. Followed by a sequel, ''Archie Bunker's Place'', which ran from 1979 to 1983.
|-
|''Real Time with Bill Maher''
|2003-
|[[HBO]]
|TV MA
|Political talk show that typically features a liberally slanted panel. Routinely mocks conservatives and conservative values (including religion, with Maher even going so far as to deny the existence of [[Jesus Christ]], in a manner similar to [[Holocaust denial]], despite historical accounts and evidence of His existence proving otherwise). Maher himself smears conservative women in a vulgar and sexist manner.
|-
|''[[Family Guy]]''
|1999-2003, 2005-
|[[Fox Network|Fox]]
|TV 14
|Notorious for its shock tactics, this show routinely employs willful tastelessness for comedic shock value. Examples include one regular character who is a homosexual pedophile, as well as constant Hitler jokes and clips of television shows as seen through the eyes of main character Peter Griffin, who sees them with a warped and twisted viewpoint. Brian Griffin, the Griffin family's talking pet dog on the show, is frequently used by series creator Seth MacFarlane as a sounding board for his liberal political and social views.
|-
|''Modern Family''
|2010-
|[[ABC]]
|TV 14
|Mocks family values and promotes dysfunction and same-sex parenting among families. Three "families" are depicted in the show, two of which are dysfunctional and the third of which is a male homosexual couple with an adopted child. Gloria Pritchett, the Colombian-born second wife of main character Jay Pritchett, also sometimes displays a [[racism|racist]] attitude toward her husband and other characters.
|-
|''GCB''
|2012-2012
|ABC
|TV 14
|Extremely blasphemous against [[Christianity]], as evidenced simply by its provocative title. Was also so ill-received by various mainstream Christians that they demanded a boycott of anyone who sponsored the show, which ultimately contributed to its ultimately lasting a single season.
|-
|''Glenn Martin DDS''
|2009-2011
|[[Nickelodeon]]
|TV PG
|Mocks the role of fatherhood and also promotes liberalism with many demented sexual jokes. One episode blatantly portrays [[Barack Obama]] as the "messiah" and [[Dick Cheney]] as the devil. Created by [[progressive]] former Disney CEO [[Michael Eisner]].
|-
|''RuPaul's Drag Race''
|2009-
|Logo TV
|
|Radically pro-[[gay]] reality show hosted by homosexual cross-dresser [[RuPaul]]. The show is blatant promotion for transvestism.
|-
|''The New Normal''
|2012-2013
|NBC
|
|Pro-gay anti-Christian show about a homosexual couple that want to have a baby, contains many liberal agendas, and portrays the one main conservative of the show from a stereotypically negative liberal viewpoint. One NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City refused to air the show because of its offensive content. Few people watched the show and it was cancelled after one season, sending the message that almost no one finds liberal agendas or mockery of conservatives and traditional values funny.
|-
|''The Legend of Korra''
|2012-2014
|Nickelodeon
|TV PG
|Liberals pushed it on children since it features one of the, if not the, first children's shows to feature a homosexual protagonist and strongly advocates feminism.
|-
|''Degrassi''
|2001-2015
|[[CTV]] (Canada) TeenNick, Netflix (US)
|TV 14
|Tasteless high school drama show which portrays drug use, [[homosexuality]], [[sex change theory|gender confusion]] and [[abortion]] in a positive light.
|-
|''Orange is the New Black''
|2013-
|Netflix
|
|Decadent show that glamorizes the homosexual agenda and prison life. The main moral of the show, as claimed by series creator Jenji Kohan, is that it is not normal to be straight and following in the path of God, and practicing Christianity will lead to horrible punishments. Additionally, it inadvertently supports abortion, as it is revealed that the Christian "villain" in the show wound up in prison for killing a bunch of abortionists after receiving one. Every woman in prison, with the exception of the villain, is in a lesbian relationship with one of their fellow inmates- even the nun.
|-
|''All American Muslim''
|2011-2012
|TLC
|
|Reality program that essentially censors and whitewashes the true face of Islam, a terroristic and supremacist political ideology masquerading as a "religion", depicting the lives of five Islamic families in the [[Detroit]] suburb of [[Dearborn]], Michigan. The show drew criticism for depicting Islam in a favorable light, despite its reality being far different, and it was cancelled after one season due to low ratings. Controversy also erupted when home improvement retail chain Lowe's withdrew its sponsorship of the show, leading liberal celebrities Russell Simmons, Mia Farrow and Kal Penn, Internet activist group [[Anonymous]] and Islamic congressman [[Keith Ellison]] and other liberal politicians to call for a boycott of Lowe's and demanded apologies from the chain in response, which led in turn to Lowe's ignoring their demands and other companies joining Lowe's in withdrawing sponsorship of the program, while the threatened boycott itself largely fizzled.

|ABC
|
|Talk show with liberal activists such as [[Barbara Walters]], [[Joy Behar]], Rosie O'Donnell and [[Whoopi Goldberg]].
|-
|''[[The Daily Show with Jon Stewart]]''
|1996-2015
|[[Comedy Central]]
|TV 14
|Jon Stewart mocks conservative politicians and media stars much more than his occasional jab at liberal Democrats. A year after he left the show, Stewart turned up as a surprise guest on former castmate Stephen Colbert's late-night CBS talk show and made a fool of himself by lambasting the [[Donald Trump]] Republican presidential campaign for Trump's stands against illegal immigration and Islamic terrorism and his criticisms of [[Barack Obama]]'s "presidency" and Hillary Clinton's character.
|-
|''[[Full Frontal with Samantha Bee]]''
|2016–
|TBS
|TV MA
|An offshoot of ''The Daily Show'' featuring dimwitted former correspondent and alleged "comedian" [[Samantha Bee]], who liberally uses foul language, bigotry and projection in her frequent, pathetic and unfunny mischaracterizations of conservative politicians, public figures and the public when they refuse to embrace liberal agendas. Bee often takes to behaving like a middle-aged teenybopper during her reports while slagging those she opposes.
|-
|''[[Last Week Tonight with John Oliver]]''
|2014–
|HBO
|
|Late-night talk/news satire show hosted by British "comedian" and former ''Daily Show'' correspondent [[John Oliver]].

|-
|''Skins''
|2011-2011
|[[MTV]]
|TV MA
|Portrays teenage sex in a positive light. This show was also accused of being in violation of child pornography laws. Ironically a much more sexually explicit version of the show has aired for years in the UK with absolutely no controversy. Like with GCB, it ultimately lasted for a single season largely because of the controversy.
|-
|''Jersey Shore''
|2009-2012
|MTV

|-
|''These Friends of Mine''/''Ellen''
|1994–1998
|ABC
|
|Initially presented as a clone of the sitcom ''Seinfeld'', the show changed direction near the end of its fourth season when series star Ellen DeGeneres announced that she was a lesbian and decided to make her character, Ellen Morgan, lesbian as well. The show's ratings plummeted after the announcement and never recovered, leading to its cancellation by ABC in May 1998.

|-
|''[[30 Rock]]''
|2006-2013
|[[NBC]]
|TV 14
|Pushes several left-wing agendas, and most infamously included a slam against [[Sarah Palin]]. In addition, throughout its airing from 2006 to 2013, despite being very popular among the Liberal elites, it consistently received extremely low ratings, with its first season ranking only at #102, its subsequent seasons consistently ranking low (the best it got was Season 3 with a ranking of #69), and Season 6 having such a low performance overall (and a very poorly-received season finale, ranking at 3.2 and 1.6 million viewers, respectively) that they were forced to cancel the show at one more season.
|-
|''[[The Cleveland Show]]''
|2009-

|The show has no basis other than the sexual "adventures" of four women in their mid-thirties who live in New York City.
|-
|''Girls''
|2012-
|HBO
|TV MA
|Is a strong supporter of feminism and the [[homosexual agenda]]. There is an arc in the second season in which the main character begins to date a young conservative, only to break up with him, reasoning that his views were "immoral". The show also glamorizes [[Hollywood values]], such as marrying someone on the basis of boredom, having multiple sexual partners, and glamorizing abortion. Creator Lena Dunham, a self-proclaimed feminist, has defended these wrongs in interviews, claiming it is a representation of what it is like to be a woman in her twenties, when really it most certainly isn't.
|-
|''Looking''
|2014-2016
|HBO

|Exists solely as propaganda for the homosexual agenda. Lasted only for two seasons.

|-
|''[[The Newsroom]]''
|2012-2014
|HBO
|
|Yet another forum for Aaron Sorkin to promote his liberal views. Promotes the view that making the news "moral" means bashing Republicans and airing one-sided opinion pieces masquerading as "news". Strange liberal morality. Ultimately was short lived, being cancelled barely two years into its airing.
|-
|''Piers Morgan Tonight''/''Piers Morgan Live''
|2011–2014
|[[CNN]]
|
|British talk show host and [[gun control]] advocate [[Piers Morgan]] lectures his guests and his audience on the issues of the day and puts a liberal spin on his viewpoints. After drawing about 2.1 million viewers for his debut episode, viewership for the show fell steadily until reaching only a fraction of its original numbers, with an average low of 81,000 viewers in the age 25-54 demographic for the week of July 30-August 5, 2012.
|-
|''Anderson Cooper 360°''

|-
|''Two and a Half Men''
|2003-2015
|[[CBS]]
|
|The main character's series of casual sexual relationships is portrayed as admirable. There is a lack of positive female role models. Main character has an antagonistic and dysfunctional relationship with his mother which is passed off as humorous. Note: describes show during first 8 years, prior to recent cast change.
Post Season-8: One of the episodes depicted Alan Harper's ex-wife and current girlfriend implied to have undergone a lesbian one-night-stand. Jake Harper also comments about getting an STD as if it were a badge of honor in another episode. In addition, Angus T. Jones, Jake's actor, labeled the show as filth.
|-
|''The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills''
|2010-
|BRAVO

|Brides-to-be are encouraged to display their worst behavior in this staged "reality" series. They rant, scream, throw tantrums, and treat their wedding staff, spouse-to-be, family, and friends terribly.
|-
|''[[American Dad]]''
|2005-
|[[Fox]]
|
|Supports liberalism and homosexuality. Mocks conservative values. In a case of truth in advertising, one of the main characters, Hayley Smith, is depicted as a far-Left hippie who is shrewish, hateful and sometimes violent while stridently promoting her liberal views and, like Brian Griffin on ''Family Guy'', is used as Seth MacFarlane's sounding board for his viewpoints on the show.
|-
|''[[How I Met Your Mother]]''

|-
|''[[2 Broke Girls]]''
|2011-
|[[CBS]]
|
|Promotes homosexuality and feminism while mocking conservative ideals and leaders. The show constantly attempts to push the limits of blue jokes, racial stereotypes and sexual references. One of the show's titular girls, Max Black, a proudly rude, unprofessional, unmotivated, immoral, aggressive and promiscuous woman with a drug and alcohol problem, is portrayed as a positive role model for modern women. Plus, the character Sophie Kachinsky, who is even more immoral and promiscuous, is always given a very loud canned applause upon every one of her entrances in order to indicate her as the show's "best" character.
|-
|''[[Shake it Up]]''

|''I Am Cait''
|2015-2016
|E!
|
|An offshoot of [[reality television]] series ''Keeping Up With the Kardashians'', this series exploits and glamorizes [[sex change theory|gender confusion]] while indulging Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner in his delusion of pretending to be a "woman". Despite losing half its ratings after its first week due to few people wanting to watch the LGBT agenda being pushed on them, E! announced it would be bringing the show back for a second season. Its viewership, which had been at 2.73 million viewers at its premiere but dropped by more than half after that, fell to less than a fifth of that number (about 480,000 viewers) at one point during its second season, which finished with less than a third of its debut numbers and led to its cancellation on August 3, 2016 (although E! initially publicly denied that the show was cancelled).<ref>[http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/tv/caitlyn-jenners-i-cait-cancelled-e-just-2-seasons/ (Bruce) Jenner’s 'I Am Cait' cancelled at E!

|''I Am Jazz''
|2015-
|The Learning Channel
|
|Another reality series exploiting gender confusion, this one focusing on a teenage boy (real name: Jaron Bloshinsky<ref>[https://gendertrender.wordpress.com/tag/jaron-bloshinsky/ Gender, Patriarchy, and All That Jazz : Mary Lou Singleton] (Warning: Contains feminist rhetoric and nonsense)</ref>) who claims to be a "girl" using the name "Jazz Jennings". Like ''I Am Cait'', its ratings plummeted after its debut episode for similar reasons.
|-
|''Becoming Us''
|2015-
|ABC Family/Freeform
|
|Still another reality show glamorizing and exploiting gender confusion. Two families with fathers claiming to be "women" are highlighted in this series, which debuted at a low-rated 81st place and dropped out of the top 100 shows entirely the following week, eventually finishing the season at less than a third of its already-low debut viewership numbers. No new episodes have been produced or even announced since then, sparking the possibility that the show may already be cancelled (although Freeform has not officially made such an announcement, likely to spite detractors of the show).
|-
|''Transparent''
|2014-
|Amazon Video
|
|Scripted series focusing on gender confusion, the LGBT agenda and [[professor values]] which misguidedly portrays all in a positive light. Former college professor Morton Pfefferman, patriarch of the Pfefferman family, starts claiming to be a "woman" named "Maura" in the pilot episode. Later episodes explore the Pfeffermans' efforts to enable and indulge Morton in his delusion (in one episode, Morton gets offended and walks out on a family portrait shooting when the photographer correctly calls him "sir"), while oldest daughter Sarah leaves her husband to enter a lesbian relationship.
|-
|''Brave New Girls''
|2014
|E! (Canada)
|
|Canadian reality series exploiting and glorifying gender confusion, featuring gender-confused male model Walter "Jenna" Talackova, who gained infamy for his attempt to become a contestant in the woman-only Miss Universe Canada pageant in 2012 and was initially disqualified after his true gender was discovered (he had lied about who he really was to get in); he got back in after liberal [[feminism|feminist]] lawyer Gloria Allred got involved on his behalf, but he still failed to make the pageant's final five contestants. Only eight episodes of this series were produced, but the Canadian E! channel has not officially announced that the show has been cancelled.
|-
|''The Real O'Neals''
|2015-
|ABC
|TV PG
|Anti-Catholic (and anti-family) "sitcom" featuring a teenaged character who "came out" as homosexual to his family members.
|-
|''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine''
|1993-1999
|First-run syndication
|TV PG/14
|While every ''Star Trek'' series touches upon liberal themes, ''DS9'' is without a doubt the most left-wing of all the series. One episode, "Rejoined", contains a lesbian kiss, one episode shows a male character being transformed into a female, and many episodes contain anti-Christian and anti-American jokes. Also, the ever-present relationships between human and non-human characters serves as a promotion of bestiality. In addition, many of the characters possess the smarter-than-thou personality that's all too common among liberals.
|-
|''Charmed''
|1998-2006
|The WB
|
|Disturbingly glorifies witchcraft as well as feminism.
|-
|''Salem''
|2014-
|WGN America
|TV-MA
|Based very loosely on the Salem witch trails, liberals once again change history to suit their agenda by demonizing Christians and portraying satanic witches as "martyrs".
|-
|''Gravity Falls''
|2012-2016
|Disney XD
|TV-Y7
|Show's message seems to state that capitalism corrupts; as all the rich characters are either jerks or bad guys. One of the main characters, Grunkle Stan, portrays poor family values to his nephew Dipper and niece Mabel, and the show implies that is because he's trying to make money for his business.
|-
|''Inside Amy Schumer''
|2013-
|Comedy Central
|TV-14
|Liberal "comedian" Amy Schumer (who only is famous because she is a cousin of Democrat Party senator [[Chuck Schumer]]) does nothing but smother her liberal agenda onto the show's viewers. Her show is also infamous for stealing jokes from other comedians.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q064UWEwEP8</ref>
|-
|''Captain Planet and the Planeteers''
|1990-1996

|1998-2005, 2016–
|Cartoon Network

|Kids form militia forces around the world to fight adults (nihilism), also many of the leaders are girls (feminism).
|-
|''Bojack Horseman''
|2014-
|Netflix
|TV-MA
|Show that disgustingly promotes [[Hollywood values]], [[sexual immorality]], and drug use. One episode promotes [[abortion]], saying that women who get them are "heroes". The show also seems to promote bestiality, as there are both human and anthropomorphic animals as characters, some of whom are in relationships. Another episode of the series disrespects veterans and implies they are not real heroes.
|-
|''Steven Universe''
|2013-
|Cartoon Network
|TV-PG
|A horribly overrated show that exposes young children to filth. The show is extremely feminist, with the female characters being portrayed as much more powerful than the male characters, many of whom are portrayed as idiots.

The fan base of this show infamously [http://www.dailydot.com/parsec/steven-universe-fanartist-bullied-controversy/ bullied another fan to attempted suicide after she drew fan art that didn't depict obese characters as obese].

Essay:Worst Liberal TV Shows

2016-11-03T00:39:55Z

InwardHurdle: I added another show to the list, Bojack Horseman

Starting with the infamous "Rural purge" of the early-1970s (when [[CBS]] cancelled most of its Western dramas and all of its rural/family-themed sitcoms and variety shows in favor of "socially relevant" urban-themed shows) and increasingly into the present, liberal-leaning television series creators, producers and writers have put shows on the air that appeal more to their own personal viewpoints than to the tastes of most of the general public. As a result, (and also partly due to the increase in TV channels since that period), many TV shows currently on the air have undergone decreases in viewership and the declining ratings that go with them. To liberals in the media, however, declining TV ratings and unsatisfied audiences mean less to them than pushing [[liberal ideology]] (including playing up [[socialism]], [[feminism]] and the [[homosexual agenda]] and depicting them in a positive light while denigrating [[religion]], the [[family]] and [[traditional values]]) and forcing public acceptance of it does. Shown below is a list of some of the worst liberal TV shows, past and present.

|''[[All in the Family]]''

Three "families" are depicted in the show, two of which are dysfunctional and the third of which is a male homosexual couple with an adopted child. Gloria Pritchett, the Colombian-born second wife of main character Jay Pritchett, also sometimes displays a [[racism|racist]] attitude toward her husband and other characters.

|Extremely blasphemous against [[Christianity]], as evidenced simply by its provocative title. Was also so ill-received by various mainstream Christians that they demanded a boycott of anyone who sponsored the show, which ultimately contributed to its ultimately lasting a single season.
|-
|''Glenn Martin DDS''
|2009-2011
|[[Nickelodeon]]

|-
|''The New Normal''
|2012-2013
|NBC
|
|Pro-gay anti-Christian show about a homosexual couple that want to have a baby, contains many liberal agendas, and portrays the one main conservative of the show from a stereotypically negative liberal viewpoint. One NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City refused to air the show because of its offensive content. Few people watched the show and it was cancelled after one season, sending the message that almost no one finds liberal agendas or mockery of conservatives and traditional values funny.

|-
|''Orange is the New Black''
|2013-
|Netflix
|
|Decadent show that glamorizes the homosexual agenda and prison life. The main moral of the show, as claimed by series creator Jenji Kohan, is that it is not normal to be straight and following in the path of God, and practicing Christianity will lead to horrible punishments. Additionally, it inadvertently supports abortion, as it is revealed that the Christian "villain" in the show wound up in prison for killing a bunch of abortionists after receiving one. Every woman in prison, with the exception of the villain, is in a lesbian relationship with one of their fellow inmates- even the nun.
|-
|''All American Muslim''
|2011-2012
|TLC
|
|Reality program that essentially censors and whitewashes the true face of Islam, a terroristic and supremacist political ideology masquerading as a "religion", depicting the lives of five Islamic families in the [[Detroit]] suburb of [[Dearborn]], Michigan. The show drew criticism for depicting Islam in a favorable light, despite its reality being far different, and it was cancelled after one season due to low ratings. Controversy also erupted when home improvement retail chain Lowe's withdrew its sponsorship of the show, leading liberal celebrities Russell Simmons, Mia Farrow and Kal Penn, Internet activist group [[Anonymous]] and Islamic congressman [[Keith Ellison]] and other liberal politicians to call for a boycott of Lowe's and demanded apologies from the chain in response, which led in turn to Lowe's ignoring their demands and other companies joining Lowe's in withdrawing sponsorship of the program, while the threatened boycott itself largely fizzled.

|Jon Stewart mocks conservative politicians and media stars much more than his occasional jab at liberal Democrats. A year after he left the show, Stewart turned up as a surprise guest on former castmate Stephen Colbert's late-night CBS talk show and made a fool of himself by lambasting the [[Donald Trump]] Republican presidential campaign for Trump's stands against illegal immigration and Islamic terrorism and his criticisms of [[Barack Obama]]'s "presidency" and Hillary Clinton's character.

|An offshoot of ''The Daily Show'' featuring dimwitted former correspondent and alleged "comedian" [[Samantha Bee]], who liberally uses foul language, bigotry and projection in her frequent, pathetic and unfunny mischaracterizations of conservative politicians, public figures and the public when they refuse to embrace liberal agendas. Bee often takes to behaving like a middle-aged teenybopper during her reports while slagging those she opposes.

|Is a strong supporter of feminism and the [[homosexual agenda]]. There is an arc in the second season in which the main character begins to date a young conservative, only to break up with him, reasoning that his views were "immoral". The show also glamorizes [[Hollywood values]], such as marrying someone on the basis of boredom, having multiple sexual partners, and glamorizing abortion. Creator Lena Dunham, a self-proclaimed feminist, has defended these wrongs in interviews, claiming it is a representation of what it is like to be a woman in her twenties, when really it most certainly isn't.

|The main character's series of casual sexual relationships is portrayed as admirable. There is a lack of positive female role models. Main character has an antagonistic and dysfunctional relationship with his mother which is passed off as humorous. Note: describes show during first 8 years, prior to recent cast change.
Post Season-8: One of the episodes depicted Alan Harper's ex-wife and current girlfriend implied to have undergone a lesbian one-night-stand. Jake Harper also comments about getting an STD as if it were a badge of honor in another episode. In addition, Angus T. Jones, Jake's actor, labeled the show as filth.

In a case of truth in advertising, one of the main characters, Hayley Smith, is depicted as a far-Left hippie who is shrewish, hateful and sometimes violent while stridently promoting her liberal views and, like Brian Griffin on ''Family Guy'', is used as Seth MacFarlane's sounding board for his viewpoints on the show.

One of the show's titular girls, Max Black, a proudly rude, unprofessional, unmotivated, immoral, aggressive and promiscuous woman with a drug and alcohol problem, is portrayed as a positive role model for modern women. Plus, the character Sophie Kachinsky, who is even more immoral and promiscuous, is always given a very loud canned applause upon every one of her entrances in order to indicate her as the show's "best" character.

Despite losing half its ratings after its first week due to few people wanting to watch the LGBT agenda being pushed on them, E! announced it would be bringing the show back for a second season. Its viewership, which had been at 2.73 million viewers at its premiere but dropped by more than half after that, fell to less than a fifth of that number (about 480,000 viewers) at one point during its second season, which finished with less than a third of its debut numbers and led to its cancellation on August 3, 2016 (although E! initially publicly denied that the show was cancelled).<ref>[http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/tv/caitlyn-jenners-i-cait-cancelled-e-just-2-seasons/ (Bruce) Jenner’s 'I Am Cait' cancelled at E!

Like ''I Am Cait'', its ratings plummeted after its debut episode for similar reasons.
|-
|''Becoming Us''
|2015-
|ABC Family/Freeform
|
|Still another reality show glamorizing and exploiting gender confusion. Two families with fathers claiming to be "women" are highlighted in this series, which debuted at a low-rated 81st place and dropped out of the top 100 shows entirely the following week, eventually finishing the season at less than a third of its already-low debut viewership numbers. No new episodes have been produced or even announced since then, sparking the possibility that the show may already be cancelled (although Freeform has not officially made such an announcement, likely to spite detractors of the show).
|-
|''Transparent''
|2014-
|Amazon Video
|
|Scripted series focusing on gender confusion, the LGBT agenda and [[professor values]] which misguidedly portrays all in a positive light. Former college professor Morton Pfefferman, patriarch of the Pfefferman family, starts claiming to be a "woman" named "Maura" in the pilot episode. Later episodes explore the Pfeffermans' efforts to enable and indulge Morton in his delusion (in one episode, Morton gets offended and walks out on a family portrait shooting when the photographer correctly calls him "sir"), while oldest daughter Sarah leaves her husband to enter a lesbian relationship.
|-
|''Brave New Girls''
|2014
|E! (Canada)
|
|Canadian reality series exploiting and glorifying gender confusion, featuring gender-confused male model Walter "Jenna" Talackova, who gained infamy for his attempt to become a contestant in the woman-only Miss Universe Canada pageant in 2012 and was initially disqualified after his true gender was discovered (he had lied about who he really was to get in); he got back in after liberal [[feminism|feminist]] lawyer Gloria Allred got involved on his behalf, but he still failed to make the pageant's final five contestants. Only eight episodes of this series were produced, but the Canadian E! channel has not officially announced that the show has been cancelled.

|''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine''
|1993-1999
|First-run syndication
|TV PG/14
|While every ''Star Trek'' series touches upon liberal themes, ''DS9'' is without a doubt the most left-wing of all the series. One episode, "Rejoined", contains a lesbian kiss, one episode shows a male character being transformed into a female, and many episodes contain anti-Christian and anti-American jokes. Also, the ever-present relationships between human and non-human characters serves as a promotion of bestiality. In addition, many of the characters possess the smarter-than-thou personality that's all too common among liberals.

|-
|''Gravity Falls''
|2012-2016
|Disney XD
|TV-Y7
|Show's message seems to state that capitalism corrupts; as all the rich characters are either jerks or bad guys. One of the main characters, Grunkle Stan, portrays poor family values to his nephew Dipper and niece Mabel, and the show implies that is because he's trying to make money for his business.

|Show that disgusting promotes [[Hollywood values]], [[sexual immorality]], and drug use. One episode promotes [[abortion]], saying that women who get them are "heroes".

Fallout Series

2016-11-01T13:45:47Z

InwardHurdle: I added another example of a Christian character in the Fallout series

The '''''Fallout'' Series''' is a series consisting of five [[role playing game]]s (named Fallout 1,2, and 3, 4 [upcoming] and New Vegas) and two more action-oriented spin offs named Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel; both of which are considered non-canon by developers and generally ignored by the players. The first two were developed by Black Isle Studios, released in 1997 and 1998, the third was developed by Bethesda Softworks of ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' fame and released in 2008; and New Vegas was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and produced by Bethesda in 2010. Fallout 4 is due for release in late 2015, again by Bethesda. All of the main games have been widely praised, and the franchise has a massive cult following.

All of the games revolve around player-generated protagonists in various venues of post-[[nuclear war]] [[United States]] in the years 2161 (Fallout 1), 2241 (Fallout 2), 2277 (Fallout 3, 4) and 2281 (New Vegas). The first two games take place in the [[California]] region, the third in the immediate area of [[Washington DC]], New Vegas in the area of the Mojave Desert around [[Las Vegas]] and 4 in and around [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]].

==Background setting==
The setting of the Fallout series is in an [[alternate history]] that diverged from our own following [[World War II]] due to the rampant predictions of future technology, which were erroneous in reality, turned out to come true in this world. As a result, the dominating style of American culture stayed as it was in the 1950s, while developments in technology followed different paths resulting in robots, laser weapons, and similar elements common in traditional [[science fiction]] while real-world developments such as portable computers never came to fruition. Also kept from the 50's was the extreme (and in some/many cases justified) [[paranoia]] of [[Communism]], particularly of a [[China|Chinese]] variety by the time of the eventual apocalypse. This world-state persisted up into the late 2040s, when oil supplies across the world began to run dry, and conflict broke out in the "Resource Wars", seeing the United Nations disband, fighting between the [[European]] Commonwealth and the [[Middle East]] until the oil fields ran out, and eventually, leaving America and China desperately competing for control of the [[Alaska]]n pipeline (which also caused the United States to [[annex]] [[Canada]]).

Fear of the imminent nuclear war would cause the United States to start the Vault program (see below), which was designed to build a number of underground fallout bunkers that could hold a thousand people until it was safe to recolonize the earth. However, through the machinations of the semi-shadow government Enclave, most became [[social experiment]]s that were never designed to actually save their inhabitants. At the same time the American culture was on rotten stands, soon to collapse as the strain of the world began to take its toll.

All of this would become pointless on October 21, 2077, when the world slate was wiped clean in a two-hour-long nuclear bombardment that radically changed the world. It is not known who fired first, but as far as most people living in the wastes care, it doesn't matter. An undeveloped script for a Fallout movie that was never made would have revealed that the leader of Vault-Tec itself started the war in order to fulfill his own predictions of armageddon.

Immediately after the war, chaos ruled as people tried to find a place to survive the bombs. Many people either died of radiation sickness or turned into ghouls, besides the lucky few who were killed by normal methods of death. To compound onto the horrible situation, entire continents either sunk or rose, mountains were created and the entire world environment collapsed, with most of the planet turning into a barren wasteland; eventually radiation returned to the Earth in rainfall (literal "Fallout") caused even more catastrophic damage.

==Common elements of the series==
===Super Mutants===
Super mutants are Humans who have been subjected to a government-made virus called the'' Forced Evolutionary Virus'' (FEV), which was designed to create super soldiers. It worked to a degree, with the subjects becoming stronger and tougher, but at the cost of both intelligence (with some key exceptions) and becoming aggressive to a fault. An army of super mutants led by an extremely mutated biomass called "The Master" acts as the main antagonistic faction of the first game; notably, the Master can be convinced that his plan to phase out normal humans in favor of mutants is unworkable (Super mutants are sterile), causing him to commit [[suicide]], at the end in lieu of actually fighting him. A separate strain of Super mutants appear in Fallout 3, this group leaderless and far more innately hostile than their Western counterparts, with only two friendly individuals ever being encountered.

===Enclave===
''(See "Portrayal of America" below)''

===Brotherhood of Steel===
The descendants of a group of soldiers and their families who, shortly before the war, declared themselves in desertion from the U.S. Army as a result of scientists using unwilling soldiers for FEV virus testing. They more or less worship technology and seek to take all advanced technology from the hands of the wastelanders, although the reason varies from simple selfishness to wanting to "protect" them from it. They are very secretive and xenophobic, and besides a few members could care less about what happens to the world unless it threatens them. This caused another, benevolent version of the BoS, seen in Fallout 3, to break away from the main organization and move to the East Coast. By New Vegas, the West Coast Brotherhood have fought a costly war with the New California Republic and lost, and are slowly dying because of their refusal to change their ways, though the player's actions have a huge potential impact on their prospects ranging from making them learn to cooperate with the NCR to outright destroying their last bunker.

===Vaults===
The ''"Vaults''' are/were giant underground fallout shelters ostensibly designed to each hold a thousand people comfortably until they could recolonize the planet. The exact number is unknown, but at least 115. Saving people was not actually the main concern of the Vaults' makers, as they were in actuality: [[social experiment]]s of the Enclave to test various conditions on people (apparently to see how people would react during a trip across the void of space to a new home planet, a plan that never came to fruition). Some vaults were normal, some vaults had annoying but understandable test ideas while others were simply cruel.

Examples:
*'''Vault 101''': The door was never meant to be opened again, and the overseer was given omnipotent authority. This is the original home of ''Fallout 3'''s protagonist.
*'''Vault 12''': The door was designed to not close, testing the effects of radiation on people.
*'''Vault 11''': A social experiment where the group was to sacrifice one person every so often or they all died. When they finally did choose to say no more, there were 5 left, and it was revealed it was a test to see how long that would take and the door opened.
*'''Vault 43''': populated by twenty men, ten woman and a panther (only mentioned in a tie-in webcomic, more-or-less as a joke)
*'''Vault 55/56''': In the former there were no entertainment tapes at all; in the later, only tapes of a bad comedian. The latter was predicted to fail first.
*'''Vault 68/69''' In the former, 999 woman/1 man, in the latter: 999 men, one woman.
*'''Vault 92''': Populated largely by renowned musicians, this vault was a test bed for a white noise-based system for implanting combat-oriented posthypnotic suggestions.
*'''Vault 106''': Psychoactive drugs were released into the air filtration system 10 days after the door was sealed.
*'''Vault 112''': A vault populated by Vault-Tec executive Stanislaus Braun and a few others, where he tests a virtual reality program on the other residents that has degraded to him simply killing them over and over. The "good" option when encountering this scenario is to activate a failsafe that causes everyone except Braun to be permanently killed, leaving Braun trapped alone in his own personal [[Hell]].

By the times the games take place, most of the Vaults have become long-since abandoned or are now populated only with monsters, and many serve as in-game "dungeon" complexes.

==Topical material==
The ''Fallout'' series covers a wide variety of mature themes of interest.
===Portrayal of America===
The United States at the time of the apocalyptic war is portrayed as a [[dystopia]] whose destruction was probably necessary for any future American civilization to have a chance of prospering. The remnants/descendants of the elements of America's original government who contributed to causing the apocalypse, known as the Enclave, are the settings' number-one antagonistic group, though they are considered wiped out following the end of Fallout 3. At the climax of Fallout 2, the player confronts the Enclave [[President of the United States|president]], a man leading the plan to use a modified FEV Virus to infect the jet-stream and [[Genocide|"cleanse"]] North America of those "tainted" by radiation, which entails almost everyone outside the Enclave. In Fallout 3, the Enclave is led by "President" John Henry Eden, who is a super-computer programmed with elements of past (real) presidents' personalities and also intends to release a deadly "purifying" virus into the water supply. Notably, the highest-ranking human Enclave leader has no interest in the genocidal aspects of his president's plan, merely wanting to activate Project Purity so the Enclave could have the credit for saving Washington and begin reuniting America in its own image.

During the course of the series, a new, faithful (though far from without its flaws) attempt at recreating old American ideals rises in the form of the New California Republic, founded in-between the first two games and appearing as a relative "superpower" in New Vegas.

===Sexuality===
Fallout 2 was one of the first video games to include [[same-sex marriage]] attainable by the player, specifically resulting from a forced wedding that is a consequence of illicit seduction of either of two [[bisexual]] characters, both offspring of a local butcher. As spouses, both of these characters are a useless burden in-game and very hard to get rid of. This scenario is also the only instance of any [[marriage]] at all being attainable by the in-game player characters.

Fallout: New Vegas includes perks which establish the player character as homosexual and allow special dialogue options constituting gay flirting, seduction, etc. These perks, like their heterosexual counterparts, also increase combat effectiveness against enemies by gender; due to there being considerably more male opponents in the game than female, this technically means that playing as a homosexual male character is measurably advantageous compared to its alternatives (not that the player is required to engage in any sexual behavior at all, mind you).

===Discrimination===
[[Racism]] and [[sexism]] as we know them are almost nonexistent in this post-apocalyptic setting, but bigotry has lived on primarily in the form of discrimination against the physically zombie-like but behaviorally normal mutants known as ghouls. This is caused in large part by confusion between "normal" ghouls and their further-degraded counterparts known as "feral ghouls", who are legitimately mindless monsters, and the notion that all ghouls will eventually turn feral, even though the presence of ghouls who have been around since the apocalypse (ghouls are biologically [[immortal]]) suggests otherwise. One particular plotline in ''Fallout 3'' revolves around a group of ghouls trying to gain access to a bigoted community known as Tenpenny Tower; however, should the player help the ghouls, it will be revealed that their particular group is genuinely evil, and just as hostile to normal humans as the likes of Tenpenny are to their kind, and they will murder the other residents of the tower. There is no actual "good" resolution to this quest.

===Illicit substances===
All of the Fallout games feature drugs or "chems" as usable in-game items. These provide positive immediate effects while also carrying the risk of [[drug addiction|addiction]] with each use, which is very hard to get rid of once it has been acquired in-game. Myron, a character in ''Fallout 2'' who creates a particularly insidious new drug called "Jet", is portrayed as one of the most despicable characters in the entire series.

===Religion===
Most pre-established forms of [[religion]] including [[Christianity]] have become nigh-extinct in the Fallout world, with various [[cult]]s and tribal subcultures emerging to fill their gap.

A notable exception is the character of the once-villainous Joshua Graham, who converted to [[Mormonism]] following a [[near-death experience]] wherein he survived being lit on fire and thrown into the Grand Canyon after failing as military leader of the cruel organization Caesar's Legion, and has since been a heroic protector and preacher for the peaceful tribe known as the Dead Horses. Also, in Fallout 3, the player character's father is inspired by a biblical quote (Revelation 21:6) to purify the radioactive waters of the Capital Wasteland

===Dangerous sciences===
[[Genetic experimentation]] is portrayed very negatively in the series and is the practice responsible for creating the monsters known as Deathclaws, creatures derived from chameleons who are some of the most vicious enemies in the series. ''New Vegas'' introduced the equally-dangerous Cazadores, derived from the tarantula hawk, and the somewhat less-severe Nightstalkers, hybrids between coyotes and rattlesnakes.

The evils of [[Transhumanism]] are explored in New Vegas' ''Old World Blues'' expansion, which features a group of scientists that have reduced their bodies to brains inside robotic apparatuses to achieve immortality, and are responsible for the aforementioned Cazadores and Nightstalkers, among other aberrations.
