Well if you set out with a particular agenda and philosophy, complete self-contradiction is one way to complicate it, no question.
The fuck is right wing anarchism? It's like National Socialism?
Anyway, I always thought Oddwolrd was a heavy critique against capitalism. Guess I was wrong.
Sounds like a "free thinking libertarian" contrarian. What could be more contrarian in a pluralistic liberal democratic society than to embrace white nationalist Fascism with open arms?
Tangentially, this is actually pretty fascinating to me as a student of how how artistic media affects societies. It's not the first time we see it either. Like how Star Wars is pretty explicit in it's fight against an fascist regime that stifles diversity having fans of the franchise that lose their shit at a woman or black guy being their protagonists. Same with MCU being largely progressive, yet people upset at Black Panther or Captain Marvel, or Star Trek in particular being an idealistic vision of the future regarding it's politics, yet Michael, a black woman, as the protagonist of Star Trek was still met with controversy.
I remember how Ron Paul tweeted that he really likes Rage Against the Machine and the singer of that band responded "What machine do you think we're raging against? It's you"
I realize these are slightly different examples as these are fans liking things and then disavowing their internal messaging as opposed to creators writing messaging that they apparently disavow in real life, but still, it's so weird how people can be connected to stories without taking in their actual aesops or themes.
It's entirely possible that the Oddworld games were a critique of capitalism, but only because that was the most extreme contrarian position he'd gravitated to at the time.
Pretty much all the high school acquiantences I knew who ended up being alt-right chuds were huge anti-Bush/racism/Iraq War/police brutality/gun, probably only because those were the "anti-establishment" positions in the early 00s.

Did not know any of this and looking further into his likes, he's a big fan of Kim Dotcom and the Deep State, anti-Islam rhetoric, lots of George Soros conspiracies, stuff about the Caravan, anti-Clinton conspiracies, lots of Pro-Assange tweets, and more. Such a crazy thing to see.
Whenever you run across a very quiet creator in a typically left leaning creative field nowadays theres a chance they might not be progressive as the rest of the industry
I can understand being bitter about how his career has gone
but damn
I did not know this, it seems at odds with the message behind a lot of the Oddworlds games
but, regardless, fuck this
but, regardless, fuck this
I didn't know Lorne Lanning was only a recent discovery in the video game industry.
In that milkshake duck is about the immediate rise of a new sensation, only to discover some shady background behind the individual not too long after.
lmfao holy shit did he really go on a video game podcast and say bush did 9/11
this is amazing
He sucks for things way beyond 9/11 truth lol. The NYC fire commissioners just called for a new investigation into bombs in the buildings. The FIRE COMMISSIONERS. Maybe brought upon by the fact all their guys are dying of cancer and not being supported.
9/11 and the wars that followed were Bush and Cheney wars. The most corrupt motherfuckers on the planet and Republicans to the bone.
I'll never understand the left eating their own about 9/11 and that whole admin, which was completely fucked. Yes, 9/11 crazies exist, but there is a much more rational discussion to be had from it other than he sucks because of 9/11 truth or whatever. I personally knew a guy that died in NYC from those buildings, and there is a bigger discussion to be had about it.
That being said this is pretty surprising about Lorne. Makes it hard to look at his games and understand his thought processes.
Starts around 45 seconds in, but he goes all truther about 2m20s in.
I never understood how anyone could take him seriously after listening to this.
EDIT: Forgot he literally says "sheeple" @ 1m45s lol

Not to harp on but his latest liked tweet is Trump making a fool of himself at the press conference today. I don't know if he's seen this thread which he probably has as the usual suspects who hate this place have reported to him we trying to "cancel" him which isn't true.
This is insane. I always assumed he was one of the more traditionally leftist creators given the thematic subtext and a level-headed guy. Wasn't Will Wright a Republican? Wonder where he is these days.
The whole point of my comment is that it isn't surprising about Lorne. The dude has always been a douche.
pretty much lol, least surprising news ever, scratch a libertarian...
Yes, we know that a large percentage of the US population has horrendous political beliefs. Thinking Ilhan Omar is an "an Islamic extremist voted into office by the large Islamic majority in a state that allowed itself to be overtaken by radical Islam" and her "mission is to infiltrate our government at the highest levels" is gross, vile shit no matter how many people believe it.

If you want to go the guilt by association route, then go right ahead. Just ignore everything else in his feed so you can get that zinger, though.
That makes you as idiotic and narrow minded as the people you're condemning.
I swear to god if I see the name C*lin Mor*arty on this site one more time I'm going to ... well I'll be fine but I'd rather not.
also Lorne also seems to fav Adam Sessler's tweet I'm those screenshots, and let me tell you, he is a lefty with the best of us. Idk. Weird.
