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 "we don't need more anti-nazi slop shoved down our throats" is one hell of a way to say that xP
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.
He's literally saying they should be kinder to these war criminals.
I'm talking about your dumb population that definitely licks their boots and thanks them for their service.
What the regime does to them when these tools have served their purpose doesn't negate that.
And it's not a 'hot take', unless of course for americans which again proves my point.
They can rot in hell, and you bootlickers with them.
Where TF did he talk about "WW2 specifically"?
And not even then.
Despite the same propaganda BS they only entered for their own interest.
If you have time I could explain.
Didn't you read the post? They're making a new Wolfenstein game, the most effective way to resist the rising tide of fascism is to give Microsoft owned Bethesda money. Capitalism comes through for us once again, baby!
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.
In fairness, it's a bit myopic to bring Mechahitler, the Super mutant, or even the Angel of Death into it as it's the earliest one-and-a-half games in the series.
RtCW dealt with the resistance fight in more detail, and the Machinegames Wolfy games went full anti-Nazi in the best possible way.
I still haven't a fucking clue what story Wolfenstein 2009 was trying to tell though, but I still enjoyed it.
The first chapter involves her killing weird lovcraftian/ haloesque monsters, but the rest is her massacring Nazis, draining their blood, using their guns, and her blades against them.
Bulletstorm, but the enemies are current day nazis. Have some of their "heads" act as joke bosses - idiots that can barely tell which way to point a gun.
God, I disagree with people who say things are just as bad as pre-WWII; it's much worse. Not that no atrocity preceded WWII, but the Nazis weren't reenacting a relatively recent one play-by-play, these people are.
And if they're not stopped, the outcome will be much worse.
the Nazis weren’t reenacting a relatively recent one play-by-play
Actually they were, they were copying fascist Italy under Mussolini, down to the "roman salute" that Mussolini lifted from Hollywood (and was almost certainly an early Hollywood invention) and given both Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy coexisted in time, they had an interesting geopolitical relationship, with Nazi Germany at first looking up to and emulating Fascist Italy, but then later they reinstalled Mussolini into power in Italy as a puppet state of Germany's
Y'know what now that you say that it did jog some memories of stuff I've read about so you're right, they did pull some inspiration from the US for some of their eugenic and expansionist policies
Fallout 4, Outcasts and Remnants mod lets us go back in time, slaughter Nazis and then kill Hitler. I always run this mod for that reason. I take the explosive minigun and gib them all. Except Hitler, he gets the tactical barstool.
Also, anti-Nazi slop is one of the few slops I don't mind.
Finally, fuck this asshole, whoever he is. No, not "everyone" is thinking that, mostly just you and some of your loser online friends.
I love that the game isn't even out yet and its already anti-nazi slop. Who knows, what if Microsoft makes the game about saving Nazis so they can get a tax cut??? The game ends during the tutorial because the BJ Blazcowicz is rightfully killed because he was a domestic terrorist?? Not so anti-nazi slop now
Nice whataboutism, yawn here we go again.
The Russian nazis eh?
Please show that same picture of the same guy as proof RuZZia are Nazis, Puttler!!! bla bla.
Unlike ex-ucraine where they proudly display their fascist emblems and flags, nazism in the army or anywhere in Russia for that matter is forbidden.
You can find plenty nazis in any country, one clown doesn't make them representative.
The Russian ones unsurprisingly fight against Russia as part of the Russian Legion led by the scum Nikitin.
There they are free to display their disgusting ideology.
Or that other one adored by the west, Navalny. Made into some freedom fighting hero while he was equally fascist and disgusting.
But I'm sure you wouldn't know that since you only get one sided propaganda to deeptroath.
In my experience the fallout community is mostly anti-capitalist and anti-fascist because, well, you know. The theme of the game and everything.
Of course there's always the poor media literacy people who love the enclave or legion a little too much.
I'm actually curious to know what mod this guy devs for? If that part was real anyway. Just so I know to steer clear, ya dig?
Edit: I did some minor snooping around bluesky and it looks like this person claims to be a former dev for FNC (which others say is untrue) and the only real project they've been part of (from what I can see) was Fallout Ashfall, which they apparently got removed from ~2 years ago and they've been harassing those involved since.
Probably more to the story than that, but glad to confirm that this isn't a prolific member of the community.

“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.
