You are not immune to propaganda
Games that include one or more traits of whitewashing imperialism, the military-industrial complex, and real-world problems by confusing the issue, depicting aiding these interests as a moral default, reactionary bullshit, fabricating the details of real-life events by hiding behind flimsy "alternate timeline" justifications, military recruitment tools of any affiliation, and refusing to offer opposing arguments without turning them into mustache-twirling villainy
You are not a bad person if you like some of these games (I like a few of them), so do not interpret their inclusion as a personal attack! Just interpret their underlying messages (or the implications of their messaging by omission of key details) with a grain of salt
Feel free to suggest entries for this list, if there are entries in serieses included on this list that aren't included when they should be it's because I don't have familiarity of how they handle it yet (other COD games etc)
But if you suggest a missing game I'll probably add it because I'll take your word
If you like this list, thank you it took effort
If you don't like this list, be sure to leave a death threat in the comments it's like signing the guestbook

An interesting pick for this list would be Unrecord. While it's not out yet, this statement from the developers makes me think it belongs:
"As a French studio addressing a global audience, the game does not engage in any foreign policy and is not inspired by any real-life events. The game will obviously avoid any undesirable topics such as discrimination, racism, violence against women and minorities. The game will have no biased or Manichaean take on criminal acts and police violence. We also respect and understand people who may feel disturbed by the game's images. Art cannot fight against interpretation."
Could be wrong, but I think I've heard this one before.

No offence but any game that allows me to enact war crimes instantly gets a bonus star.
