Horror can be reactionary but it cannot be conservative. As a genre, horror is defined by its subversive elements. Remove those from a horror game and all that you're left with is a poorly lit walking simulator.

Tabletop, DnD, board games, and minecraft. Also Animal Crossing.

Yeah. Some zombie fiction is reactionary (there are definitely reactionary elements to The Walking Dead, not my precious beautiful baby boy Telltale game version though!!!!) but I wouldn't call them conservative. Conservatives dont call themselves reactionary though, so you get a conflation. But also Silent Hill 3 and Dino Crisis are both like, actively NOT reactionary or conservative. Also the anti-wokes would hate both if they were released today right like? Heather and Regina would be despised? Not overtly sexualized strong female main characters?
NOT MY FIRE EMBLEM 3 HOUSES IT BASICALLY HAS A COMMUNIST REVOLUTION TO OVERTHROW THE LANDLORD CLASS
Ah yes, Silent Hill 3, where you play as a woman and perform an abortion on a god, where all the religious people are depicted as murderous lunatics and the most powerful deity in the game is a disabled woman.
Heather make me pp hard therefore game is for republicans.
Heather Mason got tired of women's clothing having no pockets, so she found an outfit made entirely of pockets instead.

How dare you.
The funniest part is that the original tweet that triggered the chud
was this
transcore chart
is there 2 fallout new vegas
Love how FNV is there twice, its just that good.
This is way too accurate. Every trans person I've known in person is really into Touhou, Persona, and Disco Elysium.
Also every leftist I've met is a Sonic enjoyer.

was directly fighting industrialized colonialism which was destroying the home he shared with his animal friends in the original run.
Gotta go fast
Sonic teaches us about accelerationism
So lets see, we have:
Literal CIA funded military shooters,
games like Fallout, Space Marine and Bioshock that are satires making fun of conservatives,
Games like Zelda whose story is just an excuse to go dungeon crawling,
Persona 4 checks out though, conservatives love games where they get the option to groom underage girls,
Mega Man?!
Morrowind? I played Morrowind as an Argonian and spent a good chunk of the game freeing slaves and killing slave owners. Not exactly conservative unless you play the most boring character.

Conservatives playing boring characters? You cracked the code!
Metal Gear Rising really is the funniest one on this list. The game's main antagonist is Dick Cheney with nanomachines who verbatim says he wants to "Make America Great Again" a full two years before the Trump campaign starts. You kill an insane amount of cops. One of the bosses, who is shown to be nothing more than a psychopath who enjoys war, wants the world to go back to "the good old days after 9/11" when arms manufacturers could do anything they wanted. It portrays a world where war is nothing but a vehicle for profit, and the main characters realises he wants nothing to do with this, leaves his PMC outfit, and fights for himself against these evil corporations. It's not subtle, in the slightest. I have no idea how you can read this game as conservative.

I can.
A lot of seriously say that Senator Armstrong was based and quote him as some ideal politician the way they also worship Walter White and Patrick Bateman.
I guess I can never underestimate the shockingly low level of media literacy in our beloved modernity, huh.
Who wants to help me crowdfund a bribe to Trump's speechwriter to have him say the entire Senator Armstrong monolog at a rally?
There’s no way Trump could ever stick to a speech — you get the comedy gold by winging it
Hmm they seem to enjoy FPS games but Wolfenstein is suspiciously missing
For anyone confused just remember that a "conservative gamer" is good ng to be kind of a dumbass and be almost entirely media illiterate.
Everything on here will be there because of
- played it when they were a kid and liked it a lot
- aesthetics
- presence of cultural signifiers

If the movie Aliens came out next week, conservative would be stalking the cast, doxxing them, and declaring cultural holy war because of the Vasquez character alone, Ferro the pilot, and especially Ripley not only singlehandedly saving Hicks' life but also going all the way back into the hive to rescue Newt. They'd see Hicks' getting carried to safety as "cucking" or vaguely emasculating and Jordan Peterson would have hours of sermons against it.
my take is all video games are conservative and video games that are about killing people are fascist
