    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.

      I disagree. Avoiding media because of certain themes is perfectly fine. I for example will not play games like Hatred or Nazi Games, no matter how good they could be. It’s the kind of themes they try to avoid which show how scared they are of everybody around them.

        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.
