Support NeoGAF

[boredandlazy]

Everything has to be political these days. Sigh.

Makes it easier to weed the fuckers out.

 

[Zomba13]

Yeah, it’s a shame that saying Fuck you to Nazis is no longer bipartisan.

Still blows my mind how "fuck Nazis" is even something someone can say "well, hang on a minute" to. Like, yeah, it's "political" in that the Nazis were a political party and World War II (and all wars) are political but it's not something like healthcare or something where you can at least have different views and arguments as to how you think it should be. It's fucking NAZIS.

 

[Sir Garbageman]

I was going to wait until this went on sale, but the marketing pissing off Nazis and Nazi-sympathizers has been so awesome, I just preordered. I don't care if pissing-off-Nazis was unintentional, it's hilarious and deserves to be rewarded with my preorder.

Same. Pre-ordered the deluxe edition.

 

[CannonFodder52]

I'd like to think that saying "fuck Nazis" is less political and more human.

It's funny, the politics of this Wolfenstein game should be way less controversial to people than a modern military shooter set in the middle east.

 

[CrisKre]

Brilliant. Will get for switch. They've earnt it.

 

[Squishy3]

Everything has to be political these days. Sigh.

The world made Wolfenstein political, Wolfenstein didn't become political. The marketing is definitely leaning into the political nature on purpose, though.

 

[Dubz]

I'm buying this game almost soley because of the amazing adverts we've been getting lately. Fuck Nazis.

 

[Gold_Loot]

That's taking the burden off of what the right wing inherently believes, you cant run away from that and pretend is does not exist. You may want to be a "normal person" but if you believe in right wing ideology and vote for those interests, you are propagating the system of destruction that brought us to neo facism.

I want to convince everyone who believes in that to give up their mindset.

Of course it exists, but NeoNazis have existed long before Trump and will exist no matter who’s in office.

And no. A persons beliefs shouldn’t give them a label that they support hate.

[Wubbyz]

I hope to one day find my fist coming into contact with a nazi but until then this game will have to suffice.

 

[Squishy3]

And no. A persons beliefs shouldn't give them a label that they support hate.

I can't think of any instance where I've seen so many white nationalists and Neo-Nazis openly come out in support of a president (and presidential candidate before that) with him requiring his arm be twisted left and right and up and down to even denounce some of them and both sidesing Charlottesville.

People who voted Trump or are right-wing may not necessarily be racist or a Nazi but they are supporting political figures that those people are rallying behind.

 

[Mass Effect]

Everything has to be political these days. Sigh.

Coming from the person who named themselves after one of the most political franchises of last generation...

 

[L Thammy]

it's pretty funny to see some people propagate that "video games cause violence" by saying they're afraid the marketing will encourage people to punch trump supporters.

Remember when Gamergaters, the people who were supposedly showing how upset they were that people wrote articles saying that gamers were dead

Spoiler

p.s. blatant lie

tried to recruit Jack Thompson?

 

[everyday math]

“This childish ass bullshit makes me wanna cancel my pre-order.” Please do

Me neither sadly. It’s a sad state of affairs. Hopefully in a few years, we’ll have some better people in the White House.

 

[Inuhanyou]

But if you support those who support hate, then you support hate. That's just an open and shut case. And it just so happens that like 99% of GOP politicians support hatred in many ways. It doesn't have to simply be with burning crosses, white hoods or sieg heils to be hate

 

[CopperPuppy]

Everything has to be political these days. Sigh.

Fucking shameful post.

 

[jmizzal]

I'm so supporting these guys, tho i'm waiting on the Switch version

 

[Speely]

Not very into FPS games, but I am getting this day one.

 

[Eylos]

Posting it again:

Its so good, if Gifs were supported, this would be My New avatar.

 

[iamverificationimage]

I've never played a Wolfenstein game before but come the next steam sales, I'm definitely getting the last two that were released.

 

[Bishop89]

This is great.

Advertisement for this game has been really good

 

[KodaRuss]

I wasnt going to buy this game day 1 but I think I am now. Love this marketing campaign.

 

[Jayveer]

From reading the replies to that twitter account I've learnt that a lot of Nazis are also furries.

 

[Jabronium]

Thank you. The #notallconservatives argument is mind-boggling to me.

If I didn't have a certification exam for work a couple days after this comes out and then NaNo in Nov, I'd be all over it. That being said, as soon as I hit that fifty thousandth word, I'm booting this up.

 

[SirClinksAlot]

GOTY right here.

 

[Johndoey]

The ending credits theme song for this game needs to be a soulful folk metal cover of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" arranged by Mick Gordon and sung by Tex Perkins.

That would be better than we deserve.

Everything has to be political these days. Sigh.

Shit was always political, people are just paying more attention now.

In any case the position of fuck the fucking Nazis is a is one everybody should hold.

 

[Baraka Obama]

I’m so excited for this game

Fuck nazis

 

[The Jazz Cabbage Master]

Lmao this is amazing

 

[CannonFodder52]

Of all the fandoms(?), furries seem to actually call out Nazis and stop them from showing up to their conventions.

You say that yet, many Republicans have been leaving Trumps side while many of his supporters are also no longer in favor of him. One look at his declining numbers will tell you that.

It’s not as black and white as you think.

 

[Raiden]

Its kinda worrying nazis are still relevant in this day and age.

 

[LiK]

Everything has to be political these days. Sigh.

Good vs Evil. Nazis are evil.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

When did it become such a controversy to say Nazis are bad?

 

[Dead Man Typing]

I clicked on the #NoMoreNazis Twitter hashtag and the top post was by a white supremacist. I clicked report and it's all just generic abuse and disrespect reasons to report people.

Why isn't there just a "They're a Nazi" option?

Already have Wolfenstein 2 pre ordered. Looking forward seeing what it has to offer.

[Aztechnology]

Honestly, I'm a little ashamed to admit that at one point I was actively arguing that physical force and oppression of speech, even aimed at alt-right scum was wrong. I won't lie, I would punch a Nazi/Alt Right asshole if they gathered anywhere near me. They've broken my countenance.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Which people are leaving? I mean i hear plenty of people saying they just dont want to be associated with his personal demeanor, but do they still low key agree with his viewpoints on the policies? That's what i've personally gotten from the situation

 

[Killer Queen]

When did it become such a controversy to say Nazis are bad?

When America started excepting Nazism

But anyway, buying a second copy of this for my girlfriend and taking the day off. We're both very excited for this game.

 

[Alucrid]

Everything has to be political these days. Sigh.

it's a political party

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

When did it become such a controversy to say Nazis are bad?

Around the time that Donald Trump announced his run.

Na. If you voted Trump youre a racist. You empowered racism and even though its a singular event of empowerment for the person voting, it has a lifetime of consequences for groups of minorities in this country.

 

[Redd]

I need to buy this game when it releases.

 

[Sir Vilhelm]

I scrolled as far down the twitter responses as I could and saw plenty of "awaiting butthurt Nazis" esque comments but no actual butthurt Nazis. I don't actually think this campaign is particularly controversial. Between today and the responses to previous ads, I haven't seen much in the way of actual controversy.

Pretty much this, only controversy I ever read on this subject comes from this forum.

I've loved killing Nazis since first Wolfenstein I played in the 90's, can't wait to do some more!

 

[Opto]

It was collector edition day 1 when they announced it, but every day my purchase is more justified

 

[Slayven]

I know it is all soulless corporate marketing, but it is damn more then most video game companies willing to do in the face toxic stuff.

 

[Lebneney]

I abhor Nazis and what they stand for, but man the antifa undertones especially with the political climate as it is... Just hope they know that they know that today you have hypocrisy on both sides.

I don't care what side of the political spectrum you are, whether Trump supporter or a part of the resist side, just care for each other and have meaningful discussions to understand the other side.

Unless you are truly a Nazi, then you need some Jesus.

 

[Cre8]

Its so good

owned....

Fuck that. Nazis who want to eradicate people because of their religion or race don't get fucking polite and loving discourse.
