NAZI-KILLING VIDEO GAME 'WOLFENSTEIN II' ANGERS NAZIS WITH 'MAKE AMERICA NAZI-FREE AGAIN' SLOGAN BY TIM MARCIN ON 10/6/17 AT 9:54 AM It's a hell of a time in America when a video game taking an anti-Nazi stance is considered by some to be too controversial. Yet here we are. The video game Wolfenstein II, the latest iteration of an exercise in killing virtual Nazis, has angered Nazis with an online presence because it is about... killing Nazis. "Make America Nazi-Free Again. #NoMoreNazis #Wolf2," reads a tweet from the video game's account, alongside a trailer for the upcoming release. The video is brief, just 13 seconds long, but shows heavily armored, mask-wearing, jackbooted soldiers marching through the streets under Nazi flags. "Not my America," reads the text over the top of the images. A certain subgroup of folks got angry online with the game-maker, Bethesda Softworks, for producing a product that thinks Nazis are bad. Many claimed they weren't angry about the anti-Nazi stance per se, but rather that the game was tapping into liberal anger. Certainly it is political to co-opt President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, but Bethesda Softworks is hardly the first one to play with the line made famous by the billionaire Republican. But in the wake of the deadly Charlottesville, Virginia, rally, where Nazis marched and chanted anti-Semitic slogans under the banner of "Uniting the Right," Nazism is now apparently a right vs. left debate. http://www.newsweek.com/nazi-video-...is-make-america-nazi-free-again-slogan-679530 ---------- so much for the tolerant left~~
America had a Nazi movement during the war. They white wash it out of mainstream history books, but you can find it pretty easily.
That's awesome. I love Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Wolfenstein: The New Order on my Xbone. Nothing like slaughtering Nazi's. That's the best part of the game!
I still play Company of Heroes, and I still love playing the American (or British) side so that I can give those filthy Nazi bastards what's for.
Gonna be sure to pick this one up as well as Far Cry 5. FC5 you run a cross a backwoods anti-government militia in Montana.
In case you genuinely don't know, this is one of those cases where the franchise has been rebooted a few times and this is the second full game in the new series. If you count all the games in the series, it's actually the 11th.
Thought just popped into my head........ Why the fuck are Nazi’s playing this game? Do they not realize they are playing, from their viewpoint, the bad guy? That the dying Nazi soldiers are them?
