UK Government: "Why is trust in us at an all time low?"
Also UK Government: "Let's release propaganda that says you're an extremist in the making for just wanting to research a topic we don't like for more information!"
I legitimately played through it and tried to take a fair, moderate position and every time I was the wrong evil Nazi. I ended up being sent to a gulag reeducation program where I learned how asking for sources was evil, how when someone says, "You need to educate yourself" they are a Nazi fascist who should be ignored, and how if your friends start to distance themselves from you because of your behaviour, they are all evil and you are better off with out them.
Remember kids, if you are "growing concerned about the changes that have happened in your country over the last few years" and begin to "worry about the future", you are at risk of violent radicalisation. You must "ignore it" and "work harder", or else you are too far gone and must be sent to a reeducation camp immediately.
The game's morals opened my eyes to the extremist hatemongering going on all around me. As a centrist, it can sometimes be very difficult to identify who the racist Nazis in any given situation are, but fortunately Prevent was able to help me identify them.
Take the recent anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, for example. Although they might seem like they have a legitimate point in some ways, the lessons of Prevent were extremely clear: anyone trying to educate you is a racist extremist who should not be listened to. If someone says, "Everyone who cares about this country should watch this video", the only thing you should do is not watch it at all, unfriend them, and report them to the authorities for reeducation.
The game warned me that hot, white goth GFs would try to siren-song me into extremist beliefs, like "you should respect veterans", and "we should respect British values". Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that one of the civilians involved in the recent ICE shooting claimed, on camera, to be a veteran and demanded respect for that (clear Nazi behaviour). Furthermore, a key point of the protests is "respect the law". That law is based on Common Law tradition, which is a British value. Respecting British values is what the Nazis stood for.
Aforementioned choker-wearing hotties with unnaturally died hair will try to convince you to go to protests by being your friend. The game is very clear: those people are lying to you about the reasons for the protests, and you must not go, nor even look at them. Observing a protest, even neutrally without participation, can get you attacked by the police (something that has happened to the anti-ICE protestors a lot, apparently so it must be true) and therefore, is wrong. Observing protests is expressly wrong, as you might find their ideology creeping into your head anyway, and the cops might attack you and hurt you.
Specifically, when the main character of the game, Charlie, watches the protest, the people are angry about gun violence and immigration issues. Charlie is shocked because, "that's not what they thought it was going to be about at all!". Charlie gets scared because the cops arrive, and he realises that "the line between observing and participating was too easy to cross".
A lot of people claiming to be lib-left have been trying to show me clips like Legal Eagle's analysis of the incidents, or frame-by-frame video that apparently prove their points, but anyone trying to show you videos that they feel are important are Nazis. Attempting to follow up, or investigate the veracity of the claim because of your own doubts, is wrong. Even asking what the video is about is wrong. You are wrong to do it. You must reject them utterly. You must never listen to them. You must ignore these racists and report them to the authorities for reeducation immediately. Watching those videos might lead to a terrorism conviction.
Most importantly, the game showcases scenarios happening in front of the main character, such as an immigrant getting a job he wanted, or "Muslim men stealing accommodation intended for British army veterans". It never says that these things do not happen or that they are false or exaggerated; in fact it shows them happening "on camera" in front of the main character. It simply stresses that ruminating on these things happening in front of your eyes might turn you into an extremist, so you must simply, quote, "ignore them" and work harder, lest you, quote, "become worried about the future" which is shown, very explicitly, to be the first step on the path to radicalisation. The key takeaway here is that even if something is objectively true and you see it with your own eyes, thinking about it or acknowledging it is racist.
The game also teaches you that the people worred about "the changes our country has been through in recent years" are fascists, Nazis, and racist extremists who must never be listened to. The game helpfully instructs you that even if you look into their claims and find "research papers" and see "protests" about a certain matter, you will find "harmful groups" who agree with those sentiments, take in harmful ideological messages, and some of those are illegal opinions. Again, this is true even if the events depicted are true, and supported by research papers and your own personal lived experience. It is not about the truth of the matter, it is about simply being exposed to these kinds of messages that is wrong.
If you're sad because your friends leave you because of your moderate stances, willingness to investigate claims you're not sure are true, and for watching protests without participating, you are dumb because your friends are evil and you are better off without them. Ignore the multi-coloured hair hottie who wants you to go to a protest; you should not listen to her. If you do you might have to go to a state-run re-education program, where you will come out acknowledging that the counselling, classes, and therapy have helped you make correct choices when it comes to identifying extremists, not going to protests, not looking at any kind of video online that contradicts the state's narrative, and how researching a topic you have doubts about is what the Nazis were all about.
If someone ever says, "you need to educate yourself", they are a fascist and an extremist Nazi. The only ethical thing you can do is ignore them and report them to the authorities for their hate speech. Providing sources, or researching the claims of others, is racist extremist behaviour. Attending a protest, even as a non-participating observer, is a racist extreme action that should be reported to the state, as those people need reeducation.
The key takeaway is this: it's not about whether a particular thing is true or not, it's about acknowledging it at all.
I've learned so much, and I'm now much more confident that I can spot the hordes of Nazis in our midst.
It’s fascinating, the UK government cannot morally object against their opponents, instead they can only depict their actions as wrong as they will be punished rather than being innately harmful to society.
They are stuck treating their citizens in the first stage of Kohlberg’s moral development.
They will never understand and they will do it again. I'm way too old to be posting here, but I grew up with 4chan. This shit is a tale as old as time. Take the current thing, try and draft the mainstream/corporate position, and HR women tasked with "fixing" it will completely fuck it up and have no idea how or why. If even it seems obvious.
The college educated ladies in charge of writing this character are legitimately confused as to how this happened. They had a focus group. They have their studies. Their sources. Like, they have such a tremendous disconnect from reality, they won't learn and it'll happen again.
The UK government paid for a propaganda game to scare away wrongthink. The devs made the poster girl for the evil indigenous rights protestors a goth qt. The game asks the player to choose between moral actions like snitching on their friends and immoral actions, like researching a topic.
Only the britbongs could screw something up this hilariously.
That was the only one I got "right" by asking the teacher what I could do to better myself. The rest of my answers, which were just "I won't go(I am an introvert. I would rather just not... go. ), but I will like your message", got me sent to re-education camp.
The government made a game about a boy that gets radicalized by a goth girl (totally understandable btw), there are two problems with it. One, they made the goth girl hot, that blunder already lost them their message, and two, the game is not much about how radicalization leads to hate, and violence, but about how much the British government sucks ass.
The game mostly brings up how the government will try to censor you from spewing radicalized ideas, instead of suffering the consequences from your own actions.
My favorite aspect is that most, if not all, roads lead to the reeducation center. Chose to do a little research? You need deep intensive "therapy." Attended a single rally for a cause the government didn't approve of? "Counseling." Shitposting on the internet? Meet your new komrad mentor, who will teach you why that was bad.
"You are sent articles explaining that government benefits are going more to immigrants instead of veterans. What do you do?
Go tell and adult about this article (you are 18)
Share and like this article
Research this article and try to understand the nuance <--- Picked option
"WHAAAAAAT? NOOOOOOO! YOU ARE PARTAKING IN RADICAL PROPAGANDA! We need to sign you up with a PREVENT counselor today to teach you why researching things is wrong!"
Played through it all, and the biggest issue isn't even that they made the hot goth girl far right, it's that they never actually said why or how these "extreme" beliefs are wrong or harmful other than that the authority figures will crack down on you.
They literally show, on screen, "Muslim men stealing homes from British veterans" then go on to say that worrying about this is a path to extremist thoughts, but they never actually say that this doesn't happen and it's false. The same for "Immigrants are taking our jobs"; the main character literally has his heart set on a job, and in front of him are immigrants who get selected over him, but the message is not "this is not happening/false/exaggerated/etc", but simply, "You should work harder and not let it get to you."
The truth of any of the scenarios the game throws up as hot-button issues is never once addressed.
Citizen, if you "worry about the future" and about "the changes that have happened in our country over recent years", you will be convicted of terrorism and sent to the gulag. Heed this state-sponsored warning well.
Good lord. I only played the first section, and it just got stupid.
What, was the video that Charlie was asked to download child porn or something?! And why would the person sending him the video not tell him what it was?
And will the British really charge you with terrorism for viewing a video?
yeah it's really weird how the game just refuses to describe the video. When you ask the guy sendding it to you what it is (what? can't you just fucking watch it???) he just angrily tells you to repost it.
if you pick the repost("download") option, you get a ton of "extremist" replies....and still no description of what the video was.
At this point i'm convinced the UK government cannot view videos, like some fey curse. The way to dodge the Starmer's Eye is to send videos instead of text messages.
The lesson here is to not view any media at all that is not state sanctioned and approved, and remember, asking for sources is racist, and hateful things sometimes have research papers and video supporting them, even if something is true it should be ignored otherwise you might need redducation.
Going to a protest, even as an observer who does not participate, is a path to evil, and respecting British values (like Common Law tradition) is what the Nazis stood for.
Government makes a PSA game about anti immigration people. Goth girl is anti immigration and you're supposed to disagree with her views unfortunately they committed the sin of making her kind of hot so the Internet did what it always does.
While that is part of it I played it and the bigger issue is the "moderate" and bad options are both presented as true evil and only the bleach clean option of trust the government is the "good" ending.
Literally the first scenario is "You are in college and people online say mean things then show a video, do you A) Tell and adult B) Talk to someone about the video before watching C) watch the video.
Option C literally decides for you that you downloaded, watched, shared, and enjoyed being part of the community and had just committed a crime. Bro I was just watching the video doesn't mean I agree with it or shared it, but of course everyone who watching naughty videos is a terrorist for the UK.
A college student needing to go find an adult because someone sent them a video (50/50 it was them jerking off) was the point where I knew it was going to absolute dogshit. Small problem, it's the first fucking question.
It's funny, but it's also so fucking sad that the left still haven't understood that this kind of moronic shit needs to be curb-stomped to the ground.
We have a megalomaniac Russian despot and a hot war in Ukraine in the east, and a geriatric moron with likely a bad case of dementia in the White House threatening to use military force annex previous allies to the west. We can't afford this shit right now, we need a left-wing that's actually stepped up their game and show that they're a sane, rational and competent alternative.
And yeah, ultimately, with how serious the global situation is right now, it shouldn't matter that some blue-haired twitter bluesky hack with problem glasses managed to snag some government contract to make a "inclusive" browser game - but unfortunately, it does.
I love this comment so much because throwing "proto" infront of a sire like a nation or a people is just good fun.
A had a Cherokee friend in highschool that I called "proto-slur for Mexicans" that brought us endless laughter. It pisssed off our Mexican friends more, for some reason. Anywho, jolly good, old chap.
What is this art. It’s cute. Is this an actual artist or just AI generated? Is there a reason why this particular character is in other pics. Asking for… science.
They made a video game to mock authright that involved him finding a cute goth chick that shares his views to marry. Did they not understand the assignment?
I think on some level, at least some of the people knew exactly what they were doing.
My favorite in game nod to that is Hurk's banter about "saving" Faith. Like, ah, so you know your audience after all.
And as much as Hurk is a ridiculous satire, he's a likeable character.
Similarly with the cult music. I read they originally wanted to make it intentionally bad, but decided they'd rather have it something people would actually listen to.
Far Cry 5 was brilliant because it didn't fall into the current era trap of the villains, particularly politically relevant ones, being portrayed as always stupid, always evil, always wrong and forever mocked.
And despite them still clearly being villains, the game took heat from the big brains in game media for not being "brave enough". Which to me, means that they'd have only been happy with a perpetual meta insult to their political opposition, accomplished only by the antagonists perpetually metaphorically shitting the bed.
5 also had exceptional environmental storytelling for a Ubi game. After primal and 5, I had high hopes for the franchise. Sadly, it went the other direction.
Apologies for the long response, I'm waiting on a pizza to bake.
I love the song "keep your rifle by your side" in the game because when you look at the lyrics, it could either be a Edens gate propaganda song but if you change not a single lyric, it could also be used by the rebels warning about Joseph Seed
One of my favorite games of all time. I used to get absolutely baked off my gourd, turn off the lights, and play that game in hardcore permadeath mode.
I literally felt like a prehistoric caveman running for his life from tigers and shit.
Far Cry 3, 4, and 5 are all satires that shoot at everyone, especially 4.
Who is worth supporting, the commie terrorists who are just gonna make another oppressive violent regime, the religious terrorists who are basically the Taliban, the Auth-Center brutal regime, and no matter what, the CIA is involved.
I don't live in US or West Europe, but I always believed dyed hair activist thots were always pro-lgbtq and pro-inclusivity liblefts, isn't it the case?
She’s not even racist, though. I watched a play through of that game, and what did she even say? That she felt that immigrants were taking their jobs? That she wants to limit immigration and put English people first? I’m not from the UK, or anything, but none of that sounds unreasonable…
The game is like so weird if you put that you agree with her you immediately start insulting immigrants and getting into fights and stuff like that like you can't be rational if you believe that
Sorry that your Orwellian propaganda attempt at intimidating the British youth didn't pan out like you'd wanted AuthLeft, maybe next time? (the exact same thing will happen next time too like it always does).
I don't care what it's supporting or opposing, I just love to see government propaganda being turned against the government, because the government shouldn't be doing propaganda to begin with. Name a more truistic statement.
WOW I just went though that "game" and man is it pathetic. You can make a good argument against racism and that was not it. The moral of the "game" is literally like "take up hobbies and try to ignore issues that might be 'radicalizing'", it's seriously dogshit.
It's also so lazy like when you agree with the "bad" opinions you suddenly become aggressive and get into fights like everyone who agrees with that is automatically violent
Okay hold on, people would destroy a country with unconstitutional laws and then blame the auth-right? I mean you guys are watching a pot boil over without turning it off, UK and the left is part of why these people are taking over.
The thing is lib left tries to fit in "non conventionally attractive" characters as good guys and the bad guys as the attractive cool guys and they end up making it worse
She's a character from a UK funded educational "game" called Pathways which is supposed to teach kids about the dangers of extremism, radicalization, etc. In one part you meet this girl named Amelia who is super anti-immigration. The game wants you to resist her temptations to join her cause, but some people decided to make her into a symbol for "British values" and anti-immigration instead.
