I think we need more Nazi killing games these days.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 days ago

Y'all are playing games?

[–] lapping6596@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I've been thinking about a game named "Nazi Lives Don't Matter". But I'm white, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with calling back to Black Lives Matter.

Man, do we really have to start playing Charlie Chaplin movies again?

This is what happens when you don't teach WWII history in society.

maybe if america was kinder to their veterans so they didn't shoot themselves... they'd know more about what war does to people

I was hoping this was some failed attempt at satire. Its not. https://bsky.app/profile/4allout.bsky.social

“balanced and unbiased take on WWII” after calling something “anti-nazi slop” is hard to even call a dog whistle, it’s more like a fog horn.

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 43 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I 'think' there's a more innocent interpretation in there of something like, "If you're going to do Nazis right now, it might be worth making them more than a cliche villain to spray lead at so people can see how intrusive and insidious the ideology is."

buuuuut "should be more than anti-nazi slop" is one hell of a way to say that xP

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago

That would be a bit more of a valid interpretation if it weren't for the fact that Wolfenstein is set in an alternate universe where the Nazis win the war.

You can hardly make them the classic 'inevitably going to fail' villain when they've been in power for the last 60 years.

Maybe they could add a scene where one of them is stroking a white cat although honestly that's pretty much the Wolfenstein aesthetic already.

Yeah, mostly because that’s not at all what he was trying to say with that sentiment.

I was certainly not thinking gee those nazis sure get a bad wrap in wolfenstein

If anything they got too much credit. They actually successfully colonized space in Wolfenstein.

[–] Gathorall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Using technology a secret (mostly) Jewish cabal was actually hiding.

Most people are saying “fuck yeah let me butcher more Nazis.” you fucking chudd.

can we talk about how the nazis are now openly nazi and we arent doing much against them as a society?

They've wormed their way into positions of power such as judges and statesmen. Anyone with an inkling of hate for Nazis would do jury nullification but then most people think the point of jury duty is to convict someone.

They're aware that Wolfenstein is the same game series that had mecha-hitler right?

It's not a work meant for nuanced analysis about the complex political structures of WWII

I bought a wolfenstein bundle on steam when it was on sale just because I felt like killing nazis lol. Stayed for the plot.

The more creative and abundant ways to kill nazis the better it's the game!
