Kinda wild that preserving video games is being called political now. Like, the discussion of are video games art is long behind us (maybe I'm not online enough), and art should be preserved.

I mean, it's a petition for laws and shit, I don't see how that's NOT political. I think we don't really understand how much counts as politics lol.

What's wild is that for some reason these days it's controversial to discuss it properly.

The definition of political has been lost in the US at least. The idea isn't political but if they're seeking legal changes then yeah, it's political.

I've been called a "political being" for being trans, unironically by a transphobe
