Why does Disco Elysium let you be racist?
<p>These are, of course, fair questions, especially considering the video game industry’s especially poor track record of handling important issues, both in game and out. For example: just as I began my second playthrough of <em>Disco Elysium,</em> a video game company sponsored an event where members of the media could pretend to shoot actors dressed in stereotypical depictions of muslims (yes, really). It’s bad enough when games like this always choose brown people with muslim-sounding names for villains, but they don’t stop there. The video game hegemony, especially the notorious and mammoth <em>Call of Duty</em> franchise, maintain that there’s nothing political about this choice. Video games, on the whole, often contain some of entertainment’s plainest examples of racism while using a misunderstood doctrine of “apoliticism” to try to avoid having to confront that racism and its implications.</p>
