Politics are a facet of almost every decision you make, even if you don't think so. Or, I should say, almost every action you take can have a political statement.
And also; even the story of the game we know it is a political statement, in-universe; Becoming a mindflayer (and thus furthering their agenda to rise to ruling the world like in days of old) or fighting back and making a stand for the current status quo.
You side with the druids? Help the dryads fight back against the town that's over-foresting? Pro nature. Anti-industry.
Look at any actions you take IRL; almost any of them can have a political statement in some way. Asking for anti-politics is like asking for anti-story. You need a clashing of ideas and ideologies. If everyone agreed, or never brought up what they're fighting for/against, then there would be no conflict to drive an adventure story like Baldur's Gate.
Also, being anti-politics is, in itself, a political statement.
Also, also, BG has always had politics; you were the offspring of a god of murder, and had to decide what to do as such. Theology and politics.
It's not about being anti-political, just about not using yet another form of art/entertainment as pure political, one-sided propaganda and forgetting about the game itself. Just look at the 3 last Star Wars episodes, FFS...
I'll be honest; I did not see any politics in the recent Star Wars trilogy, outside of the in-universe stuff (rebels fighting against an empire). But I was not looking for any political message, either.
Destroying Luke because he was an "alpha male"?
Rey constantly beating Kylo's (a trained Skywalker who is also trained in the dark side) ass?
Rey being a better pilot than Poe?
None of that sounds like it is anything more than people looking for an excuse, no offense.
I could easily say that Luke's arc was done, and he sacrificed himself to save the rebellion.
Rey could beat Kylo because..well..slightly bad writing, mostly. Maybe the Force, too. She was strong in it.
Same with being a pilot; the Force just made her better than a trained pilot. I mean, it worked for Luke. He made a million-to-one shot and avoided getting shot down despite being a moisture farmer. Not a trained pilot. It could also just be bad writing.
Hell, Luke sacrificing himself was a parallel to his father sacrificing himself. his dad did it for family, he did it for the rebellion, for while he was the the father figure. It also coudl have been that the writers wanted him to go out in a battle, and not 'Luke grew old and died. The end'
None of it HAS to be politics unless people wanted it to be so, just so they could attack it.
People will always find a reason to complain, even if one does not exist. Not trying to be offensive, or saying YOU are. Just saying that none of that screams 'politics' to me.
