You can knee-jerk but you can’t give informed criticism.

You can’t even separate “You shouldn’t obsess over avoiding ideas” from “You have an obligation to absorb everything.”

Yet by not playing it, you’re relying on somebody else’s description of what’s in it, which can be very misleading.

For example, the discourse around Horses.

Its fine not to like certain themes but obsessing over not seeing them to the point that you’re making lists is not really healthy.

Some are more consistent than others.
Once you start making lists of games to avoid based on thematics, though, you’ve already taken a step to cuckoo land.

You have to be way down the rabbit hole to think Signalis is too woke. Nothing it does would have been out of place in '02 or so.
