I mean... if "keep politics out of video games!" is the occasional battle-cry from angry Gamers on social media, then where exactly does "trauma in video games" land on that spectrum?
This here is the very reason I think most games and the stories they can tell are severely limited. The notion that we cannot tell stories because of fear of it being politically or traumatically charged is ridiculous and should be written out. It's getting old.
We need more games that aren't afraid of going beyond the norm. This post is very valid, thank you for writing it.
