It is the typical ploy employed by those who hold extremist views. Say something radical and wait for the reaction. If the reception is positive you continue on, if it’s negative, you just laugh and say it’s a joke.

Just to be clear. The radical view in this context is “metal gear solid is going political”

In this case, it very much was a joke.

I keep thinking about the guy complaining that Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine got political with that one picture of his guitar, and the reddit comment or whatever asking what type of machine he thought the band was raging against - kitchen appliances?
