If we're going by the assumed metric of Antifa being 'anti-fascists'... Well, any games where you fight Nazis or Stalinist Russians would count. So, the previously-mentioned Wolfinstine, especially the MachineGames saga. Call of Duty, Medel of Honer, Battlefield... Is there a game where you out-and-out fight the USSR? I'm blanking on one.

Command and Conquer: Red Alert (with the proviso you also play as the USSR of course)!

Antifa is an actual group though with agendas and ideology all of their own. It is like saying ''this game that features black rights is a Black Rights Matter game''.ProfessorDetective wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 7:56 amIf we're going by the assumed metric of Antifa being 'anti-fascists'...

Anti Fascism is not a movement beyond opposing fascism via direct action.
But then again, my position is derived from left-tube and watching the news.

A) Left-Tube automatically means you are going to be biased, just as I, who watches what I guess you would call ''Right-Tube'' if we are going to put a meaningless label to something means that I am also going to be biased. You and I no doubt are going to be looking at the same stories and seeing it presented in different ways - and please spare me any whining ''yeah but my biased coverage is better and more accurate and more professional and...'' shit because it really isn't. All that such an argument will grant from me is my middle finger.Rocketboy1313 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 6:00 pmCitation needed.clearspira wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 1:38 pm Antifa is an actual group though with agendas and ideology all of their own.

B) What news? CNN? Left-bias. Fox News? Right-bias. BBC? left-bias. RT? Right-bias. SkyNews? Left-bias.
Pick one.

Anti-fascism is a political motivation. Antifa has flags and coordinated actions. Additionally, Antifa isn't really against fascism, they are against "fascism." Facism requires being authoritarian, but "fascism" can be wearing a MAGA hat.
Antifa is against fascism in the same way that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic, a republic, or the people's.

I don't think Antifa is really set out to target MAGAs, but it's fair to say that they get thrown into the mix.

Oh yes, I love being preached to by my entertainment. That's why so many woke titles do so well!

You know, you strike me as very aggressive here, which is off-putting, and yet... I do agree with your sentiment here. Especially when they cannot even live up to the values that they claim to preach. Case in point, look to TNG where they go on a big tirade about how "it's okay to be gay" without ever using that word or showing off a gay couple. I think Garak and Bashir would have been an amazing couple, they had great chemistry, and... it's a shame, with the potential in a character like Jadzia Dax.
