Well, yes, everything is political whether we like it or not. Even not having a character in a videogame that represents a minority can be a political statement. It's far too broad a brush to paint to be useful for anything
- nomdep 4y agoNo, like you said, everything CAN be a political statement but, more often than not, everything is not, by default, a political statement
- philippejara 4y agoI agree actually, that's fair. Assuming a default position to not be a political statement does complicate things when you try to classify what is political due to giving the status quo a bit to much leeway, but honestly this classification is a waste of time.
- judge2020 4y agoI imagine you could assume that everything is, indeed, a political statement, to at least one person in the US.
- nomdep 4y agoI will ignore that irrational person incapable of seeing the context of a situation
- jayd16 4y agoEverything is a statement, intentionally or not. The characterization of what is mundane is itself a political statement.
- sircastor 4y agoBut we’ve reached a political climate where anything characterized as political is so. It’s unavoidable, and I think that’s the intention of this law. It wasn’t created to provide some fair and balanced public experience for citizens on private platforms. It was created to threaten large tech companies that make some politicians uncomfortable.
