I had a German friend ask me once while we were at a Blockbuster, "What is the American obsession with Nazism?" And it's true, America has made as much money on Nazism, then they've made on aliens.

I think we've all become ridiculously overly sensitive about everything. It's almost like we WANT to turn back the clock and return to the days where people whispered taboo subjects and learned about sex from disgraced politicians.

We can't censor everything just because we don't agree with it. I'm going to start revolting this practice by admitting freely, that I love to run people over on the sidewalks of GTA, Boobs and Blood geysering in God of War makes it awesome, and the only bad thing about Mass Effect, was there simply wasn't MORE aliens getting it on.

 

With Nazism? It's easy. Ww2 was basically the only "Black and white" war ever. The Nazis being even more black and white then the Japanese in the west, because things like the rape of nanking aren't really talked about.

You can make a game where you an Allied forces member and your definitivly the "good guy". It's easy.

If you made a Vietnam game, where you mow down a bunch of vietnese people, it'd just get called racist... bascially any other game is going to be considered a bit racist or your going to have to work to portray both sides as having a point.

Well other then the Civl War.... but the guns sucked too bad back then.

That's in a total different vain with something like this where it more makes fun of the actual towers going down.  Making fun of the victims not the agressors.

It's the difference between making a joke about a Nazi, or making a joke about someone dieing in a gas chamber.

What I'm saying is, people can't be censored, no matter what. Sure it can get irresponsible, but realistically, America simply isn't the world. We don't have the authority to tell people in other countries what they can and cannot do or say.

It's been more than half a century since WWII, and the Germans have yet to live down those atrocities, I'm sure they're pretty tired of us capitalizing of off it. But that's life. We can't shape the world based on what people will be offended for seeing. You either get Carte Blanche or nothing at all. I don't like the fact they are trivializing 9/11, but I reserve the right to either ignore it or criticize it, as I see fit. As should everyone.
