Nazi-killing game 'wolfenstein ii' angers nazis with 'make america nazi-free again'

[The One Percent]

They're too small a group for their "boycott" (since most of the ones bitching about it will likely buy it anyway, as is how most "boycotts" especially in gaming end up) for it to matter.

I don't see "Nazis" annoyed with that tweet - but people who are tired of people trying to make everything political nowadays.

This one doesn't annoy me so much as it's a company trying to sell a product - marketing is scummy and that's nothing new.

Will still get the game.

It's a sequel of a game where you killed... wait for it... nazis. And no one gave a fuck before.

It's almost like the outcry from those tweets are from people tired of the current political climate and how frequent it is to politicize everything - and not of the fact that nazis are the target.

Shocking. I know~

sounds like they are politicizing it because this is the game where you killed Nazis since a while ago.

It's a smart use of marketing.

Linking the current political issues and slogans into a game where you literally kill Nazis.

-

From that to linking the people to actual nazis, labeling them as such, is quite the stretch though. But good job~

And yet it's about... killing nazis. This time in America.

Only the special snowflakes are getting triggered, the rest just want the sequel to be as good as the first Bethesda Wolfenstein.

Fuck, for years we had Nazis, Russians and North Koreans as enemies in FPS.

The slogan was adapted for an in-universe (for the game) slogan that I think everyone can get behind. It was not meant to be taken literally for meatspace. If anything, I'd have guessed that the positive spin for the slogan in the Wolfenstein universe would have pleased folks, but I guess not : /

But I mean, I guess a lot of folks are just looking for any excuse they can to get outraged over anything.

If they make the connection, maybe that think its a nazi slogan.

Spin it whatever you want - people on those tweets clearly mention how tired they are of people politicizing everything nowadays. That tweet was obviously linking the game to the current media frenzy around Trump slogans and Nazi fear-mongering.

Call them triggered, call them Nazis, call them whatever you want~

I wish you the best of luck. Let me know how it turns out.

The best part of this? It takes part on a fucking timeline where the Nazis won the war with mechs! The Earth and the Moon are theirs.

Company of Heroes?

dude i want a story rpg game where you travel arround europe visit concentration camps etc

[Ealyssa]

You realise most nazis are just ignorant / racist fucks that are totally law abiding citizens, right? So with that said, are you actually suggesting people attack law abiding citizens?

Bouhou poor nice nazi guys. Retarded point, period.

[Dextroden]

You're the only one who seems triggered honestly.

Because I think they pulled a smart advertising move?

[DesMephisto]

Its not. The slogan itself is dumb because

- Its a play on Trump's well used (Make America Great Again)
- Its in the middle of a political climate where anything not on the far left is considered a Nazi
- People are actually being physically attacked by folks like Antifa because they are falsely labelled Nazis

To be fair, the people who align themselves with racist, or spout "I'm not racist but" may as well be Natzi's

There is no way to spin, they got triggered with the 10th sequel of a well know franchise of killing Nazis. Or are you also demanding "safe spaces" for "trigger words"?
