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

[Darkeon]

They used a riff on the MAGA slogan to make it against Nazi's...and? I fail to see the controversy with that, if I was a Trump supporter I'd be pretty alright with it. Using "your" slogan to express anti-Nazi sentiments? Seems pretty good to me.

"And", that's the cause of the tweet lash out. While I'm sure all 5 people that are angry Nazis are being killed in the game exist, however most of those replies clearly mention how of a letdown it is to see them using current political events\slogans\whateveryouhave as a marketing move.

Making everything political got boring - Fast. Bad person. Stop it.

Why would someone buy 5 copies? I mean, other than for friends or something. That's silly.

I'll probably pick it up eventually when it's on sale, does this mean that you think I should have a low opinion of myself or that I should think I'm a Nazi sympathizer?

Just want to know how I should act according to the straman of me that you've created.

Well, someone certainly got triggered when their Nazi stance was questioned.

All i asked was if killing a video game Nazi meant anything and you got upset and called me triggered.

[PACOX]

The best marketing for this game has been the alt right and nazi sympathizers throwing a fit over it.

I might have to go get it at the mall just make the purchase official.

"You have the right to be a nazi"
-Probably a nazi

I did? Man, can you tell me what I'm doing all the time? Because you seem to know a lot more about what I'm feeling at any given moment than even I do.

Are you like, in my phone or something, man? Get outta my phone.

Note: My references to being triggered were general. If you thought it was directed at you that's because you chose to read it that way. It was not written that way.

You realise a lot of Nazis merely want people deported right? Yes, I understand thats a human rights violation too, but to them, they see it as good both ways , because they believe races should be separate.

Not every Nazi wants to hunt down jews. I know you'll have a hard time believing that, but seriously. These people are not skinheads with guns and shit - they're fat virgins sitting on /pol/ trying to imagine a world were Hitler didn't start killing people, but instead just kept on building and strengthining Germany and its people. They see that in their head and wonder why their country couldn't do that too?

Obviously this is the same problem as communism. "Ahhh, that wasn't TRUE communism - we'll get it better this time!"

We shouldn't demonise people that aren't demonising others. And a lot of Nazis aren't, believe it or not - they're just ignorant as fuck and think Utopias can happen if you believe really hard.

"Not all nazis", eh? All Nationalsocialists and those who believed in Hitler's and by that extent: Rosenberg's ideology, did want to see Jews and "unworthy life" dead. Originally there was a simple plan to deport them, but what does that mean: "just deport them"? Some of my paternal relatives belonged to that kind who truly believed in Hitler's version of ethnic cleansing being a force of good...for Germany. They were active members of the party. The belief was that there is no higher kind of human than being German. Jews were seen as a force of evil, it was honestly believed that they were by those people who fully bought into that ideology. There's no whitewashing needed here. The communists had their die-hard beliefs, so did the Nazis, but both are not equal nor do they cancel eachother out. Because communism had the mission of transforming humans into the New Man, nationalsocialism believed that the New Man already existed and it was called German.

The deportations were seen as a means to an end, Jews however believed that they have lived through harsher times and that Germans would never allow their own countrymen/-women being mishandled like that - haven't they fought and died alongside in WWI? For Hitler the Jews didn't move out fast enough and in addition they took Poland, a country with even more Jews. So they devised the Final Solution which was based on Rosenberg's ideology. Saying "not all nazis" wanted it is wrong, all Nazis wanted it, those who didn't weren't actual Nazis in the first place. In the end ideology has a transformative and desensitizing character especially when acting as a group this why cleansing operations on the Eastern front was usually described by surviving soldiers as something they felt really bad at first but not as much anymore the more people participated. Usually normal soldiers eventually got sick of it hence why Himmler's SS was especially ideologically trained for the kind of work that involved doing the "cold and dirty work" and Himmler insisted that all of his soldiers remained "decent people" even during the worst campaigns. Now, "decent" didn't mean being a good guy or having acted ethically, it meant that in their morale world that they didn't flinch, felt shame or remorse.

It was probably because you quoted me asking that question and then went on a delusional rant about triggered people. I mean, I guess this is you admitting you talk to yourself if you quote me then go on a rant.

So, again, does it mean anything to kill a video game Nazi?

[Moralgy]

Clever usage of the slogan. Getting rid of nazis in the country really would make it greater. Maybe the right can add them to the list of people they want to deport.

[Video Games]

Like I said, it clearly pissed you off. if it didn't piss you off, you wouldn't have walked away like that.

I don't get pissed off. If you don't have anything to say beyond telling me how i feel like a mind reader, we're done.

First off have you never played a Wolfenstein game before?

Second by posting in this thread you are not walking away like a adult....

I beat a new order. Second, allbi did wad share my opinion.

Alrighty, have a wonderful evening. I hope you find a game that doesn't anger you with its advertising.

Seriously man, can you get outta my head? You continue to know I'm doing things that even I don't know I'm doing.

Also, delusional rant? Do you have issues understanding quoting someone and giving a more general response? It's not terribly confusing, or at least it shouldn't be.

So, again, does it mean anything to kill a video game Nazi?

Nope, but it's a load of fun for a lot of us. Now let's see if you're going to take this anywhere : )

[Stop Pretending]

Mmm conservstive tears, so fucking delicious, it pairs well with their hypocrisy.

Wow. Just wow.

Being stupid and/or ignorant is not an excuse to anything. If you call yourself a Nazi, you say you support the hateful things it stands for. Simple as that. Not knowing, wanting to know, denying, thinking it's something else, cherry-picking the parts you like, none of that is an excuse.

Nazism = hate.

This is not up for debate. That's literally what it stands for.

The hell we shouldn't demonize people who call themselves nazi's. They already did so themselves.

The fact that you're defending those people says enough to me about your moral standards.

I've lost family in WWII, just like most Europeans. Only difference is that I'm probably old enough that I might've otherwise met those relatives who got killed if it hadn't happened unlike (I'm guessing) other posters on this board. My family had the misfortune of living right on the German border.

Stop your disrespectful hate speech now.

[Wyrt]

The alt-reich are such babies.

[Astalnar]

Let's be honest, the devs could pick any other phrase to promote their new game, and nobody would react this way. They decided to politicise their game, so now they get to suffer the blowback for it.

I would have never heard of the game otherwise, so good marketing imo.

If killing video games Nazis is nothing, how does it make America great again?

And so I go to my first point. This was a brilliant advertising strategy to get Nazi obsessed people to buy.

And feel free to keep being delusional. I like watching you be triggered.

It was also clearly a strategy for getting people obsessed with being called a Nazi to get their panties all jumbled.

It's working real damn well after 19 pages of this thread.

"Nazi obsessed people", do you really think this is going to get a bunch of non-gaming liberals to play or something? Like...really?

They're using a modern slogan in their marketing, it's mean to make sense in the context of the game world where Nazi's have taken over America. The fact that Nazi's have re-appeared in the headlines as a result of Charlottesville is little more than a coincidence.

I'm not sure why you're thinking they're talking about the real world, though it seems that most of the folks angered by this are mistaking the tweet for talking about the real world. I would have thought there would be no confusion, but I guess now.

And feel free to keep being delusional. I like watching you be triggered.

I don't even know what I'm doing that's causing this, but if you're enjoying it then that's rad. You're welcome, broskito : )

[GennGreymane]

Well I'd say there's to different "nazi" view points, one of people who didn't really know and were trying to serve there country. And one of people who did know and were either onboarde with it or not willing to try and stop it and were "just following order". Both are technically nazi's but I'd say one isn't pure evil litteraly hitler nazi's

But they followed the orders and did the bad things, without a choice because of the ideology in charge.
