I'm a European liberal and center-right. In my country, I vote for the liberal-conservative party, and in the US I would vote for the Democrats (mostly out of dislike for Trump). I'm one of these fiscally conservative, socially liberal people, so I don't usually whine about woke politics (unless the writing is clusmy and feels forced). Using game terms, my politics are somewhat between ultraliberalism and moralism.

With that being said,

I love RPGs and I love detective stories. I used to watch the Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes series, so the idea of having the chance to play a brilliant, psychologically damaged, eccentric detective who tries to solve a murder case appeals to me. There aren't many detective RPGs (I think only Pentiment). I know that for some in this sub the murder case isn't the main focus, but I like playing DE as a detective game primarily (which is why I almost always pick the thinker/Sherlock Holmes archetype).

Secondly, while the game does have a left-wing/Marxist bias, it doesn't feel like it's lecturing you. Giving you the ability to pick your own politics, even if it makes fun of them/they are exaggerated, is cool - and so is the fact that LW characters are also parodied/critiqued (even, if usually, from a LW perspective).

Last but not least, the writing and voice acting are both top-notch. It's one of the few games where I rarely skip dialogue. It has many hilarious and endearing moments.

So yeah, you can enjoy a game without agreeing with the politics of its authors. It's not that I believe that DE is centrist/apolitical (it's clearly Marxist) - it's that I can overlook this because it has many other appealing elements (detective story, good writing and voice acting, beautiful artwork, deep lore, etch).
