I can’t say with confidence that Kojima is a Comrade but he’s based.
Apparently a far right French political posted this and other papers have ran with it before he deleted the tweet (presumably after being told he’s a racist sack of shit).
Keep in mind the entire time the US was also being secretly run by a shadow government to create international conflict to justify military interventionism. Spoiler alert.
To give them the benefit of the doubt, if the story had been explicitly pro-USSR, the game would likely not have been made, so they may just have had to compromise
I dunno, that’s not how I saw snake eater. 1 game with the Soviets as a secondary antagonist/backdrop and even then they are an ultra nationalist group that have splintered away. The main plots and enemy of 3 are the US and naked snake leaves after the mission realising how corrupt they are.
Most of the games the US are the baddies or if they aren’t the baddies they are controlling the events behind the scenes including the one with the ussr in so 🤷 one game against the Soviets vs like 4 where its either the us or the people the us are manipulating to me doesn’t flag kojima as an anti communist.
Obligatory codec call from MGS: Peacewalker where Snake has only glowing respect for the work of revolutionaries such as El Che.

At the same time Snake also actively fought Soviet military (in USSR no less) and had a plot with them trying to take over/nuke the world, no?

Not sure if “both sides” is enough for me to give it a pass, not anymore

Unfortunately its the closest we can get to “Neutral” these days.
