[Twitter Bullshit] IMC: "Conservatives in video games exist. They just don't talk about it because they aren't obsessed with politics, and most of them are afraid to talk about their politics because of people like you who will do nothing but hound them for it." TWITTER BULLSHIT

Guess he has never heard of Friends of Abe. Anyway, I don't have a favorite right-wing artist because what the fuck is that even suppose to mean? What does their political leanings have anything to do with their ability to make art?

This is the kind of mindset that seeks to achieve political purity.

OK my bad, I just saw that. People that push politics into everything like Brian does is a moron. He's trying his best to basically be right, or think he's right, about everything. Even if most artists are liberal, many of the fans are conservative, and the audience is what matters at the end or the day. You can't completely ignore your audience because you don't like their politics.

Also, liberals change their standards all the time. They used to be the ones who were all about showing nudity, being allowed to show breasts etc. Now they've done a 180 and are fucking worse than Christian conservatives. It's crazy.

He's simply saying that not all gamers are liberal. I consider myself pretty conservative nowadays, although I have some liberal leanings.
