bc these games are my escape from reality not a place for reality to slap me in the face.  See, even as a non gamer, you're able to easily pinpoint why so many people who traditionally associate with the term "gamer" are against this kind of thing.  Games are supposed to be our way to escape from reality for a while so that we can unwind.  Then these assholes start rolling in and saying "no, actually, games need to be political, they need to be controversial, they need to be SERIOUS BUSINESS."  Piss right off with that!  You, as a non gamer, are able to clearly perceive that, so why the hell is it so difficult for so many other people to see it?
