      I remember the butthurt about portraying Nazis as the bad guys in video games. I think that’s the moment when I realized just how fucked up certain people are in this country. Because, yes, the Nazis are the bad guys.

        In 2019 I came across someone online who was mad about Wolfenstein because it was anti trump. I had to tell them that the series had been running since the 90s and that the new ones are just fun action games.

        There may be some good messaging in there for sure but they’re not profoundly deep antifascist critiques of Trump’s USA. They’re just fun shooter games where the Nazi’s are the bad guys

          Indeed. These dummies also think that antifa (in other words, people that are anti-FASCIST) is a bad thing, and then turn around and call liberals fascist (they know it’s a bad thing, but are either gaslighting or just have zero understanding of what fascism actually is).

          No wonder they are confused (or choose to gaslight) about how being anti-Nazi is not being against white people or against their golden god-emperor.
