@Musuko No worries, I don't mind disagreement since it's part of my job and it's what I do most of the time Also I don't take any of it personally.
I might have expressed myself a bit too vague when I said 'politics'. I have nothing against the examples you mentioned. In fact, I would find it great if you make a game that centers around the theme of 'unchecked genetic enhancement' as this plays directly into what I work on (I have only played Bioshock for like 10 minutes once). I also think it's interesting if a game talks about themes such as capitalism, communism etc.. In fact, I find it adds to a game/anime/movie if there is an underlying theme with more depth.
Maybe the term 'party politics' would be closer to what I mean with 'politics'. For example, I personally would not like this My Hero Academia season directly promoting something for/against the border wall in the US. If it were an anime about immigration and why border walls should/should not be build, that would be a different thing. I haven't watched the whole interview in the case above, but find it a bit difficult to relate a card game about Warcraft to current political protests in Hong Kong. So I don't have anything about anime/games touching upon political themes generally, but I do not think they should be used to promote current party politics when the anime/game doesn't really have anything to do with it in the first place.
Another thing which I might have to say a bit more explicitly is that just because I think this should not be the case, doesn't mean I think it should be illegal. I am not making any claim about whether the esports gamer should have a legal right to make the comments he did in that context. I personally think you should keep politics like in that case out of videogames, but I am not saying it should be illegal to do otherwise. Kinda like I might think you should not waste 90% of your money on betting on horse races, but I wouldn't necessarily make it illegal.
