You just know they're playing games where the protagonists are fighting against monolithic amoral corporations or corrupt religions or world-conquering militias and don't see the slightest bit of irony in themselves saying that

Yep. Like it is stunning to me how dim these people are. It’s also not honest, they just want politics that either agree with them or are vague enough where they can fight the evil corporation but it’s fine because not ALL corporations are bad or whatever, just EvilCorp.
