Have you considered occasionally slipping in a bit of MAGA or setting your username to something pro-American?

You appear to have overlooked the unrelated politics part of my statement. If people want to have their own little MAGA group in CSGO or whatever, and aren't pushing it on anyone else, fine.
It doesn't really have any place in ARK or Crusader Kings 2 multiplayer, though. If I'm playing ARK, I'm there for the dinosaurs, not to have real world bullshit spill over into my escapism. If I'm playing CK2, the politics can stick to 10th-14th century politics, the 21st century can fuck right off. Dragging unnecessary unrelated politics over is just as bad as trying to force social justice bullshit into chat.
I think it often becomes related in the sense that the developers are already infusing their content with unrelated politics, which is the manifestation of SJW. I would say TLOU2 is riddled with unrelated or unnecessary political connotations. These efforts are poisoning the minds of the masses and by countering with the other political view (ours) you at least give some exposure to these NPCs that have been brainwashed to think conservative white people are the root of all evil. I don’t know how much further it would get anyone ahead, but the point is we shouldn’t be afraid to infuse some red pills into our gaming networks if we so choose, and I just don’t believe there are too many natural environments left out there where it would be considered “unrelated politics” since unrelated politics are often already there by design.
Those games tend not to have any kind of chat function, or even multiplayer, for the most part - which is where OP was aiming his point at.
That’s true, but they still have their own online communities whether it be Reddit or otherwise where there are opportunities for us to speak up instead of remaining “silent and tolerant” which is bullshit imo.
