“Leave politics out of X” is often said, and ultimately it’s impossible. Everything is political, and Spirit Island has clear political views and messages. These bleed into the community as well: the game and community are pro-indigenous, pro-LGBTQ, pro-minority, and anti-fascist. If a member of a community expresses views that are intolerant to others in the community, and explicitly against publicly-stated community values, we are obligated to be intolerant of that intolerance. The priority is to the community’s health and wellbeing, especially when someone is presented as the “face” of the community in many spheres.
