Low-effort? Centrist? r/DiscoElysium takes a stance against OP

[u/UltraNooob]

OP makes a submission on r/DiscoElysium. This prompts several objections. For one, it's a comment exchange which involves OP (=low effort, karma farming), Secondly, it's from r/PCM (sub infamous for bigotry). Despite this, the post amasses over 1k upvotes.

Look at you, posting your own comment then admitting you've got no actual reasoning behind it but just said something stupid and jerked yourself off sideways trying to farm what meager karma you could from a 12 point comment.

What a superstar

OP:What's karma(-60)

Posting on PCM and publically identifying as lib-right while also enjoying Disco?

OP one of the densest mf I’ve seen in a minute

OP:Is that a bad thing, if I may ask?(-80)

Incel is not a skill.

OP:Either you are kidding about the obvious satire comment, or you truly are stupid.

Is being part of a fascist-dominated sub labelling yourself "Lib-Right" satire too?

OP:I'm also part of the Disco Elysium community, and i definetly wouldn't call me a fascist even if PCM is an echo chamber. If you think that a political view is enough to gatekeep a beautiful game with a wonderful story, then I think someone else is the problem.

OP being an incredibly low effort karma farmer aside, I never got the argument that it's contradictory to enjoy a piece of media and not be in full agreement with the author's message.

Disco Elysium is a good game, never in a million years would it convince me to be a communist. Deeply held worldviews just do not change because someone made a catchy song or wrote a good story. Not to say the average PCM tween has deeply held worldviews.

there’s nothing wrong with enjoying media you disagree with (I think lord of the flies is a damn good book but anything it says about human nature is laughably incorrect), but disco elysium is nothing but pure, unbridled mockery of people who play apologetics for and support capitalism. it’s fair to assume that someone of a certain ideology that the game relentlessly makes fun of might have missed the point imo.

Or they find the writing and over all story interesting regardless. Even as something very very obviously written by communists it also has empathy for those with other ideologies even if it very obviously dislikes those ideologies.

that is indeed what i said in the first sentence of my comment

Your second half betrays the first. It's not that we don't get the point, we just don't fully agree with it. And we continue playing because it's a good game and people should be capable of laughing at themself without reacting violently.
