So they were copying the cooooool scifi themeeees that they had seen which were written by people who were being political, unintentionally resulting in their game being political because it was just copying all the other scifi of the period.
I can believe that.
Same thing the Duffer Brothers did with 80’s films to recreate red scare propaganda in Stranger Things
go in expecting a deconstruction of red scare propaganda from a modern lens
leave with more anticommunist slop
They didn't get nearly enough shit for filming a "gulag" in a literal former Nazi prison camp. And then they tried renting it out as a Stranger Things-themed Airbnb. Fucking ghouls.
It's no surprise that the kid who plays Will grew up into a gross zionist. I'm extremely sus of that whole production and everyone involved.
Edit: How could I forget this asshole (cw: extremely cringe zionist). Someone needs to check what they're putting in the water on this show's set
