Poll: Is Yahtzee a Communist?

[Cedric Rolle III]

My little brother thinks Yahtzee is a communist. He base's his idea on a Zero-Punctuation video he saw me watch. I don't think the same, thou he is the smart one. What are you guys thoughts?

 

[DustyDrB]

Well, if you have to ask...

...then he most assuredly is.

Can you provide your brother's reasoning for coming up with this assumption?

Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw is not a communist. He may be an Australian citizen, an Englishman, a homosexual, a communist, but he is not a porn star.

 

[Hazy992]

1) Why does your brother say that?
2) Who cares if he was?

 

[aba1]

I think the real question here is: who cares?

That is what I was thinking, why should it matter at all?

 

[Jonluw]

How... How do you manage to work that out from watching his videos?

 

[Zhukov]

I do have this vague memory of him describing himself as being politically inclined to the left.

 

[idodo35]

first why does he thinks that? what led him to that conclusion?
personally ive never seen anything thatll lead me to believe that yahtzee is a communist
and if he is so what?

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

I would imagine he leans towards the left, but the far left? Maybe? I dunno.

I was watching a Zero Punctuation and and he was talking about Nazis, he saw a picture of a black and white guy. Since Yahtzee talks so fast I'm guessing he got lost in translation.

There was once a Zero Punctuation where Yahtzee mentioned how he enjoyed being in the "nearly recession-proof video games industry." So I think if Yahtzee were a communist, he would not be writing about video games (a market which wouldn't really exist in a totally communist society) and nor would he be a writer and independent gamemaker selling products in a capitalist system.

Wait, how does one jump from "Nazis" to "a communist"? What possible thing can one say about the Nazis to mark him as a communist? They are bad - that's not really just the communist perspective. They are good - that's not a communist perspective at all.

I doubt it, communists tend to be optimistic about human nature and all that jazz and Yahtzee strikes me a pretty cynical dude (at-least, his ZP persona which we're talking about). He did once mention Conversative polices as being "harsh" I think so I'd guess he's likely center or center-left.

 

[GenericAmerican]

I'm sorry, but what? I'm not sure if this is trolling/dumbquestion/ or your being truthful here.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I'm sure he'll make his political views obvious if he wants people to know. Personally I think he's just an apathetic, sarcastic son of a ***** who has a good sense of humor and a wicked hat but that's just me.

Also I don't really care what his political leanings are as long as it isn't going into racial supremacy or something.

 

[Rottweiler]

Well, if you picture this ideal where the game industry has watchdogs assigned to them who wear overcoats and carry pistols, and have the ability to summarily execute bad executives and poor game designers...then I think Yahtzee would be a Commissar.

 

[Agow95]

No, if he were a communist he would believe that Fanboys are equal to himself, he may be anti-corporate/capitalist, but only because it ruins game quality
