The Onion

They're getting downvoted because their real concerns with game writing is getting tangled together with culture war buzz words.

Game writing isn't bad because it gets political. It's bad because the writers aren't very good. Halo 5 doesn't really do much in the way of topical political commentary, but it's not better or worse for it. It has bad writing because there's this weird feeling like all the cutscenes had their opening and closing segments cut. Take this one for instance. It's like the writers thought the player wouldn't have the attention span for more then a minute and a half.
