Seriously. Every form of entertainment has baked-in political assumptions, and that definitely includes #ttrpg . You might choose not to examine them, but this is an active choice on your part, and you don't get to pretend that your entertainment is "free of politics".
"Politics" or "the way one sees the world"?
Because I'm pretty sure there's a language disconnect regarding worldview.
A dev has their game reflect their worldview, and a social curmudgeon experiences political rhetoric cognitive dissonance, illustrating the incongruency and the fact that they are, indeed, a tool. ARRGHHH MUH FREEDOMS
It's a classic case is "What I do is my world view, what you do is politics." Maybe sometimes the more radical variant "What I do is reality, what you do is politics."
You know, like the older version of that, "What I do is religion, what you do is superstition."
When talking to people, especially on the right side of the political spectrum, it's sadly quite common that people cannot separate their opinion from reality.
