I like video games with women in them. I like movies about rebellions. I like art that makes me think about society. I like science fiction that uses allegory to explore controversial issues. I like queer joy. I like books about feudal power struggles. I like Mass Effect. I like Mistborn. I like Aliens. I like Jurassic Park. I like Avatar, both of them.
You know what I don’t like?
Sports.
There’s no politics in sports.
It doesn’t matter if the Red Bears or the Blue Tigers win the Ball Cup this year. They’ll just play again next year. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t make me think. It’s not controversial. It’s not meaningful. It’s boring.
I think you’re the one who’s playing the right wingers’ game on their rules by choosing to agree with them that politics is bad. I’ve transcended their bullshit by deciding politics is good actually. Now you’re trying to convince me to agree with the right wingers that politics is bad so I can argue that Game of Thrones and Arcane don’t have any politics in them. That feels like losing to me. Why do I have to agree with fascists so I can disagree with them?

EVERYTHING is political.
