Obviously Metal Gear is just a family drama sit com with a few action scenes thrown in. Nothing political about it, just as Hideous Kojingles intended.
Yes, shit like this is exactly why media literacy and understanding the art you consume is important. Without intelligent conversation we get dumb sentences like "metal gear isn't political"
Because a lot of people tend to not have it and make dumb assertions that others will follow due to the fact that they can barely make decisions and form opinions of themselves.
Nothing. This human mole rat can't handle vegetables because it makes him vomit, and he has only tried fruit for the first time one year ago. What makes you think he has any value has a human?
People say Asmon is obviously joking as if he hasn't been going down the reactionary route for a while now. Every single one of his latest videos is all 'this is woke', 'this other thing is woke', 'dei is ruining everything', 'sweet baby inc this and that'
I think it would actually fit if they re-rendered and re-recorded to make it so you could have Raiden instead of Eva throughout the game. Maybe then "Tatiana" would have the uniform you need to steal. Keeps the spirit of the gay Raiden Easter eggs already in the original game but could be used as an inclusive way of adding onto it and giving gay people a humorous shout-out. 😂 Imagine Raiden doing all that kinky shit to Snake in the cave behind the waterfall. 😂😂
This is a recurring joke by Asmongold. The whole funny part is that MGS is supposedly political, so he made this oxymoron statement of "hoping it is not political". You need to watch the whole stream for the context... It sucks having to explain a joke.
If he's joking, it's a very basic joke and ultimately isn't funny enough to warrant whatever backlash he would face for making it. Also, he should realize that with a platform as large as his, things will ultimately leave their target audience and be misinterpreted. And yet, he continues to find himself in these situations.
@@thefractalcactus I don’t think he is facing an “backlash”. There is zero negative impact on him as his community enjoyed what he said. There are but a few tweets that give more content for him to farm for videos.
@@thefractalcactus I'm sorry, but if you for real thought this was not sarcasm, then you have no sense of irony whatsoever. Like, seriously? I don't watch asmongold, and this clip was so painfully obvious he makes fun of all the alt-right morons that cry "woke" all the time and "don't want politics in my game/movie/whatever" not understanding politics is in every-fucking-thing around them. So it's somehow his fault people think they are so smart because they actually know there is politics in MGS, like this is so fucking ridiculous, man. Your video is a nice compilation, but you are so oblivous it hurts.
Nobody tell Asmon how VERY political the Metal Gear Solid series is. He probably never listened to the sub-context of what the game was really all about.
I know right ? I never bought into the bait asmon said lol, it all feels like Schrödinger's Douchebag (when someone gets called out he/she says it was a joke depending on the reaction)
@@FlowerSunMoonlightsyndrome Maybe if I was younger I would think the same think but I understand people like him, asmongold is so easy to read, he's a cockroach
If you know he was joking why you keep this video up to further misrepresent him with this clip and make fun of him about it ? Seems like you just wanna go after him cause you don’t like him
That was a poor choice of words, but I'm pretty sure that what he meant was that he didn't want the story or characters to be modified to conform to the current dominant American ideology
@@DemonKnight94 not really, the game is neither left or right leaning. Therefore it's not political in the sense of this context. It just possess an anti-nuke messaging and that's all. There is no judgements on your beliefs or pandering, it's just a fun James Bond like infiltration game with wacky stuff
@@kingmorley It has lots of social commentary surrounding War, Ai and Information. There are some parts like Kojima adding female Special Forces which is not a real thing because men outperform women in the army. Still there are The Boss, Meryl, Frog troopers ect. On the other side most of the heroes are straight white men and many of the female soldiers either gets rescued by male characters or defeated. It also tackles concept of totalitarian surveillance state on a global scale which is partialy anti globalist. The point is that yes it's not either left or right but it's heavily influenced by Kojima's own opinions.
@@DemonKnight94 I see where you're coming from but for me his commentary about war, Ai and information was not political at all, he was just submitting facts and had fictional characters debate over it without saying who's right and who's wrong (except for the whole thing about big boss in mg2 but come on now, saying "war bad, just live life" shouldn't be considered political). As for the boss, it made sense for her to be a women because there is no bond stronger than one between a son and his mother, it wasn't a political choice but a scenaristic one. And for Meryl, she's a rookie who knows nothing about war and is still somewhat innocent and allow for a romance at the end. Once again choosing a woman isn't political but purely for the scenario so it shouldn't be seen as political
...that was the joke. Not only that, he has made that joke several times before. By making this video to mock him, you're just deliberately making yourself look stupid
@@thefractalcactus The difference being that self-deprecating is a valid form of humor. Making yourself look stupid by attempting to belittle someone else is just embarassing.
Asmongold knows exactly how to stir up outrage without being outrageous like the people on Kick. People never learn and he will continue to profit. I'm happy for Asmongold 👍
They already gave The Boss a man's face. She wasn't feminine in the original but this too much. The man jaw industrial complex from Californya-nya strikes again.
what people mean by that is "i hope they don't inject "modern" political ideals into games, DEI, etc. To use a game to push a modern political agenda. So stop trying to chase clout
Metal Gear is already super gay and "woke". It has everything that makes people screech. I guarantee if MGS 2 came out today, that the type of crowd that complains about these things would be going crazy. Like, what do you MEAN Olga has armpit hair? Metal Gear has been ruined by Sweet Baby Rays.
I think “I hope they don’t make it political” is just internet loser slang for “I hope there aren’t any gays or blacks”, which, having played mgs3, will end up sorrily disappointing for a lot of internet losers
did u see him reacting to a video about how mgs2 predict the future? its a year ago, he knows mgs is full of many thing that is happening including AI, thats why he says that thing, people like you have no idea and still talk shit
