No, you can't really. You already said you don't even play videogames. The mere fact that you imply Doom was too woke speaks volumes to how little interest you have in actually understanding the current landscape. You can't be an outsider to the hobby, make such slanted claims, and then accuse people who actually like games and interact with others who play them of being disingenuous. We view them holistically, you can only observe them through the lens of the political content you consume.

And if that's the content you consume, you will more readily believe every Triple A game is stuffed to the gills with overt political messaging. The ironic part being Triple A studios tend to be the most safe and sanitized fence sitters of the industry and it's the indie games that tend to be more progressive and alienating. But you aren't going to see that irony because you aren't playing any of these games to begin with, which is what made your comment comedic.

When people say tourists are coming and politicizing the hobby, you are who they are talking about. I am telling you that not to point and laugh, but to let you know you're uninformed.
