fanten och jag kom ihop oss i en annan tråd
så för japanofiler och annat löst pack så finns en artikel om grundläggande 80-tals otaku-kunskap 101

Citat:
Future War 198X was controversial in Japan due to its depictions of nuclear war and the aftermath of war, and it was argued that the film glorified warfare, was right-wing propaganda, or was otherwise unsuitable for children to watch. The film was boycotted and protested by Toei Animation's labor union, joined by approximately 38 organizations, including the Japan Association for the Protection of Children, the Mothers Association of Japan, the Japan Teachers Union in Tokyo, and even the formation of a dedicated protest movement by these organizations called "Group Against 198X".[4][7] On 25 May 1981, a physical protest against the film's release was held at the Japan Education Center in Tokyo.[4][7] The goals of each organization reportedly differed: parent–teacher associations complained that war was being promoted in a positive light, while labor unions argued the Soviet Union was portrayed too negatively and criticized how Toei's animators were required to work on a film they ideologically disagreed with.[3] This controversy was timely, as Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone was perceived to be staunchly militaristic and supportive of a Japanese nuclear weapons program, and over the years after the Future War 198X controversy the anime industry's labor unions continued to lobby against Nakasone's policies.[3]
det där var en allmän debatt som pågick i Japan under hela Nakasones tid som premiärminister och som helt klart påverkade dataspelsindustrin och manga/anime.
Det finns givetvis paralleller till de stämningar kring serietidningar och populärkultur som existerade i väst.
Dataspel anklagades för att glorifiera VK2 och för att göra propaganda för miltärisering.
Men för att bredda tråden vilka spel som har politiska teman existerar? Förklara gärna vad de har för handling och underliggande ideologi så det inte blir en listtråd.
