Yes I know that fascism measurehead is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. de-encyclopedia

I won't say there's a direct correlation (especially because some people can be especially prickly about even suggesting entertainment can normalize attitudes and beliefs and from there influence behavior), but even from the other way around (where perhaps they were already like that and just found a niche to indulge their little fantasies without consequence) I haven't known anyone who could roam around for hours at a time in a GTA game while ignoring actual game objectives in favor of "sandboxing" the act of running over pedestrians and murdering prostitutes while chuckling insatiably, that didn't turn out to be a massive fucking chud.

I did when I was a teenager in 4, but I think that was in large part because there is very little to do in the "open world" except that.
