Stop the politics

The writers of the show actually do mock both sides. Quimby's party affiliation is very rarely relevant in the show, and I can't think of a time it was ever even mentioned in game. He's just a corrupt politician, and not a depiction of all Democrats, so I don't really count him as an example, but any time there's an ideological conflict in the show both sides come off looking silly in one way or another.

When the game gets political, though, the writing tends to have this gleefully mean-spirited feel that's just not particularly funny, and not up to the standard of the show's writing. "Yay, I have a platform for my political views! Republicans are dumb amirite?" It's simply not comparable to the show's social satire, and that's probably why it gets so many complaints here from people who presumably have seen the show, too.

Yes, i'm certain your wholly subjective views on "social satire" are tuned in precisely to what is "probably" the reason why the majority of complaints are made.

Ah, jumping to conclusions. What a surprise! Of course you are totally neutral on this issue. :roll:

Let me ask you this: why do you assume that anyone who enjoys the show enough to play the game, but does not like the game's political humor, must be somehow biased? It couldn't possibly be because the game handles political humor differently than the show does? Do you think that it doesn't?

I mean, just saying 'that's just your opinion' doesn't show my why my opinion is wrong, does it?
