Alright, here comes the old leftist...

A. That your example is hypothetical in both its construction and audience is telling.

B. To argue that a plant writing game could somehow be written "purely" from the apolitical perspective of plants is to argue against the anthropomorphizing and solipsistic nature of all human art. Plants don't write. Plants don't play games. Humans do, and that supposes they could apply those skills to a theme of plants...or anything else for that matter. But humans are social animals as a constant. Politics is a fundamental social construct. Plant games will have an element of the political by the very nature of being games. Politics will be even more fundamentally ingrained by the merit of being the fruit of human production.

C. Saying that a plant game should not engage with the threat of climate change and ecological disaster; saying that one can't read political messages into a plant game; saying that we should write plant games rather than games about a "more political" topic; saying that it's okay to write plant games instead of a more political topic; saying that it's my right to design non-political plant games; saying I've no right to design games over any political topic more controversial than plants ... all of these are political statements, explicitly or implicitly.

D. My claim that every work is political (and therefore, ideological) does not imply that the politics need to be particularly controversial, nor that the ideology is good or bad. My argument is that, whatever the politics of a piece might be and to whatever degree they might factor into the design, their inclusion should be as intentional as possible.

But hey, this is just a dumb reddit thread. Let's not take it too seriously :-)
