Are people ACTUALLY saying that though?
Might as well throw
radewagon
and
The Wise Old Man
in here too since they are also running with this weirdly twisted take.
There is, I think you would agree, a difference between the following statements. (Neither of which I agree with, for what it's worth)
Statement One - "I feel like this game is trying to conflate modern political views, specifically Republicans in late 2010s America, with Nazis and is also trying to push modern identity politics and associated ideologies into the game."
Statement Two - "Killing Nazis is an SJW agenda".
It is pretty clear from reading the thread that the points people are making are more or less in line with Statement One and people feel that it is a negative aspect of the game. As they see it at least.
So how does that become "SJW dogwhistles" or "killing Nazis is an SJW agenda"? Just seems like you have to go pretty far out of your way to make that connection.
Lads, you are so transparent. I just don't understand why you do it.
Would it really hurt that much to represent people fairly here?
I disagree that the game has an SJW agenda (at least I did not notice it) but I can express that disagreement without this hyperbolic, disingenuous crap that you, especially
mckmas8808
, are pushing here.
It's just a really shitty way to engage people, in my opinion.
It actually does kind of support the idea that "SJWs" would try to claim a game like this as representative of their views because anyone who says "well hang on I really feel like X, Y and Z in the game is too on the nose or panders too much to a certain crowd" can be dismissed with a pretty dishonest and shitty "whaaaaaat!? You are saying killing Nazis is an SJW agenda!? Nu-uh it's an American birthright!"
If the game does not have any SJW agenda AT ALL then how come there's so many people rocking up to the thread to try and twist some viewpoints into basically "so you're saying killing Nazis is bad".
I don't even understand really why you would do that.
