I find this issue pretty prevalent in vtm , but the idea that your character participating/accepting/engaging with ingame propaganda or dubious power structure reflects on you or your character as some sort of gullible/morally bad.

I see this especially when people are mousy about engaging with dubious politics and instead circle around and are like well no my character's completely untouched and above politics and thinks it's all stupid and infighting and points their nose down at anyone else who is playing the political game (the game with load bearing lore justifications for why- ) and it often comes down to the player isn't comfortable having their character genuinely sincerely engage with the setting's narratives of uncomfortable power and survival and are instead morally superior.

I find this unfortunately prevalent with autarkis players that think by not engaging with politics in the political game their character is exempt and above and everyone else is just stupid and not as enlightened about it instead, when like there's a reason, there is a power structure and people partake, it's not this arbitrary inconvenience that people do because they're prissy, like this is a political parlour tabletop that especially younger vampires do not have much options outside of and sure you can homebrew whatever but then like, again. This is ap olitical vampire game, with politics, side stepping core playing theme is like asking why there's combat in dnd.
