I agree, everything is political, and what we consider to be apolitical is oftentimes just a reflection of what we consider to be acceptable politics. Even objective facts about observable phenomena become political in how we interpret them (or outright reject them, see: flat earth). Back during gamergate, for example, this was a point completely lost on the pro-GG side: lingerie as armor and the sexualization of women was so accepted and widespread, you would have to view women primarily as an accessory for men to get upset over relatively unobjectionable depictions of women and call that "forcing politics into video games." Dan Olson made a great point in the same vein in "Cooking Food On The Internet For Fun And Profit" [0] that even what you eat is political: what you consider normal, exotic, and assume others are familiar with or have access to is a reflection on where you grew up, how you grew up, your wealth, and your values.

Edit: It's also a lot easier to stay "apolitical" when you don't have any skin in the game (or rather, don't think you do). When your rights don't feel threatened, it's really easy to go with the status quo.
