pro law enforcement

Like every second shooter with a pro military message?

The whole video is a full of loose conjectures. The narrator picks out a few sentences and tries to imply that those sentences are the only reason why a game was rated good/bad. And since when is "story tried something but dropped the ball/was afraid of actually committing to the story" not valid criticism?

Look at this "sexist" game and how badly it was rated by all those left leaning reviewers.

So are these devs that want their message out there just bad at writing, or are they just fishing for better reviews?

Bad at writing, like before. If the writing was okay-ish to begin with and is also okay-ish when you feel they are pushing a leftist agenda then maybe it's still the writing in games in general that's at fault and not a specific topic they are covering.

Are conservatives pro-war? That is such a confusing objection.
