The challenge we face is not finding an alternative, but having the strength to drag those unwilling towards brighter possibilities. The future is not yet lost.

the commenter is most directly responding to the reviewer but also seems to be conflating the reviewer's political interpretation with the game's avowed political messaging (there is an early gripe about the indie games "scene" at the time and how we're all "like this"). it is very funny to me how often now I have delivered a message that is more or less "perhaps we should prioritize human connection over the maintenance of IP" and have received quailing accusations that I am saying anyone who had a positive emotion watching Star Wars needs to be re-educated. that's the tactic here: the commenter's tack boils down to "I'm opposed to corporate control of culture BUT you can't deny REAL PEOPLE love Mickey Mouse AND BESIDES [bizarre wide-ranging assumptions about my and/or the reviewer's perspective on the world clearly bound up in some reflexive notion that anyone who asks you to interrogate your choices just wants you to feel bad]!" somehow they eventually work their way around to comparing us to "antiporn feminists"
