Honestly, if someone said to me sometime ago that a game that simply says "SCREW NAZIS" would be controversial becuase of that I'm not sure I would have believe them.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

Boogie that you?
This is complete nonsense, life ain't an after-school special. I'm not going to ignore reality for the sake of appeasing assholes. Both sides aren't equal and the middle isn't a wonderful place to be.
Also if you start a statement with "I'm not down with Nazis, but..." maybe quit while you're behind.

both sides huh

Pretty bad ass.
I agree with that, that's why I added the last statement. They are disgusting people that don't care about anyone except themselves. They can shove their ideology where the sun don't shine.

Holy shit. Theyre doubling down. Fair play.
Because instead of stepping away from the current social implications like conventional wisdom would suggest they do, they are leaning in.
1. Fuck that both sides shit.
2. Jesus ain't descending down from his cloud to knock the fuck out these Nazis. But these fists of mine will.
Rely on your own root, first and foremost.

Yeah it's pretty weird that a game about killing nazis would have some anti-fascist "undertones", I guess

It's not really the Nazi killing itself, like CoD WWII isn't catching heat in the same way. It's the references to the Trump campaign slogan and the recent "is it ok to punch a nazi / richard spencer" stuff. That's not accidental, they're pretty clearly making statements so you can't really be surprised that this is triggering "certain people".
What I mean that there are bad people on all sides of the political spectrum. Nazi's are vile and stupid. I didn't mean to offend anybody.
I don't get this reference, but I'm not.
This is just embracing a proud video game tradition.
Amen to that!
Yeah it sucks that this is what the world has come to, I really wish everyone can get along and have a discussion, unless your discussion is specifically "my race is superior", because it's not. We are all equal. We all have our quirks. And most importantly, there is one race, the human race.
Check out the first person I quoted.

Let me help you out: We understand the 'other side' perfectly well. All that is left to do is punch 'em until there's nothing left.
Unless MachineGames fired everyone that worked on The New Order, it's a sure thing.
You right, but I meant antifa as an organization (the protests and violence I see on local tv) vs the anti-fascist force that the Allies were to destroy and eradicate the Nazis and their sympathizers, unfortunately there are still some today trying to cause a ruckus and have a voice.
Hold up, pal. I think you missed the subtitle of the thread. Here it is so you don't miss it: "There is only one side"
What the world has come to?
I dont know what world you've been living in, but It sure aint this reality. None of those statements are true, and being blind to them solves nothing.

This.
My hype level for this game went from "I'll check it out when it goes on sale" to remembering how great TNO was and deciding to get this day one. Love this ad campaign. Nazi killer 4ever.
Yeah. Trying to pretend that people are only now getting offended at Nazis being targeted is kinda playing ignorant that this marketing is specifically targeting Trump admin quotes as well as general alt-right points.
That kinda of the point of being a nazi
Wow, at this point it's comical.
There are some ppl out they actually upset about this huh...
I need to start screen capping user names.
Never thought I would see the day Nazis were being defended.
I'm reminded of that MyAnimeList article about killing Nazis that got edited (without the original author's permission) to include a preface about how Nazis are the go-to enemies for lazy writers.
Like, I'd have to imagine that killing Nazis is itself upsetting to certain people, but it's easier to dismiss when you know that they aren't looking directly at you, and they don't know you. If just because that's the normal and you're forced to get used to it.
This has nothing to do with politics.
Yeah I agree. It's the correct side. Nazis are evil. That's what I'm saying. I guess I just suck at explaining that. Mb...
It's just that some people are not even open to have a discussion about politics. Not about Nazis or white supremacists, but about conservative and liberal ideologies and finding a ground that makes it best for the greater good and helping people out.
And to that I will ask when can I unlock this in Wolfenstein?

One side is clearly not interested in a greater and helping people.
The hilarious Antifa comments are mind boggling....
Anyways.. no. I will not meet Nazi's or racists (or their supporters) half way and "understand" them. Fuck that and fuck them. I oppose racism and hate 100%.
Posting it again:
Its so good, if Gifs were supported, this would be My New avatar.

It's a fucking game about killing nazis. What the actual fuck do you think is not inherently political about that? The game you felt the need to represent yourself with on a gaming forum is quite literally is one of the most overtly political games of last gen. Do you think Ken Levine was taking the piss when he wrote the speech that introduces us to Rapture? Which is also a city literally called RAPTURE!

It scares the hell out of me that people think both sides are even close to equal. One side experimented on people, ripped them apart, chopped them up, cut out body parts, mangled and mashed them and also gassed them. But yes, antifa are the hypocrites.
I abhor Nazis and what they stand for. They are vile and if someone is really accusing me of trying to see their side, you're severely mistaken. They are sick people and deserve no sympathy.
Liberals have introduced social welfare programs to help out those that are disenfranchised. Conservatives have advocated and fought for decentralized governments that allows for individuals to gain their rights and the ability to pull themselves from their bootstraps. Both sides have their flaws, also if we're going to discuss the impacts of globalization and the pros and cons about that, then we're going to be here for a while.

Keep reading, it gets worse...
I think that's actually the original one? Did they change it back? Don't want to derail though, so you can read about the incident here.

(By way way, Fusion Reborn is the best Dragonball Z movie, and Saiyans fucking up Hitler is part of that.)
EDIT: Actually comparing this article to the original it still minces words. It says it's about fighting Nazis instead of kicking Nazi ass, and no longer mentions inspiring you.
I feel like people are forgetting that the first game had (Minor Spoiler)
Jimmie Hendrix talking about the treatment of African Americans by police officers and a bit about discrimination against black servicemen

If you don't want people to think you're trying to see their side, maybe don't equate anti-fascism with nazis. Especially with terms like "both sides" and "bootstraps"
Especially if you just going to ignore history, and current policy
I can't see this GIF and not feel absolutely fucking embarrassed.
