Why are the evil guys called bosses in video games?

Is this subconscious communist propaganda?

>In Mario games you have take down a peace flag and raise a communist flag.
>You have to destroy property and collect coins.
>You have to destroy the peaceful inhabitants of a monarchy.
>You are a plumber.
>you wear a hat similar to the one Mao Zedong wear.
>If you collect a star (!) you are invincible.

Really makes you think, huh?

>>61611002

I've heard that the Japanese bought Tetris for like 5 bucks, because there was no copyright in the Soviet Union and it generated billions for them.
>>
>>61611080
in that movie the japs were in russia with that soviet guy, they visited this shithole unironically just to met him

youre correct about copyright, there was no such thing here

>>61611067
fallout was a ripoff of other similar isometric games. and fallout 3 was the biggest meme in the world.

And Bowser is a king and you have to kill him.

Just like with the Czar.

The struggle between King Bowser and princess peach represents the struggle of all capitalistic, imperialistic countries.

Ever wondered why Mario can't buy anything with coins? Because they are destined for destruction. Mario wants to create a moneyless Utopia.

Also we have the story with Wario. Wario is the opposite of Mario and he's a fucking greedy capitalist. What does that make Mario by default? Right.

This nigga has obviously never played paper mario

It's an exception to the rule.

Video games are not and never will be art. They are toys.
>>
>>61610851
Super Mario isn't communist, every game ends with Mario rescuing royalty and restoring the 'right' monarcy. The worker serves the queen, not himself or the capital.
>>
>>61614656

Explain. How is an interactive experience not art? You get a degree of decision making which you don't have with movies or books.
>>
>>61614656
Toys are often more idelogical and political than 'real art'.

>Bowser was once a good man, cursed by the Zionists of the mushroom kingdom.
>His promised wife, Princess Peach, was kidnapped by the Zionists of the mushroom kingdom and poisoned by magic mushrooms.
>For this reason, she is known to some as "Princess Toadstool".
>Mario has also been brainwashed into believing the Princess needs to be rescued by the husband she has long forgotten, and tainted by abuse of magic mushrooms given to him by the evil Zionists of the mushroom kingdom.
>Bowser endlessly adopts children to fill the void caused by the loss of his wife... his future dynasty.

You're right, OP.

>After almost every time Mario defeats Bowser, he is greeted by a Zionist of the mushroom kingdom and told that "the Princess is in another castle", to further send him down the endless spiral of coin (shekel) collecting.
