Being anti-nazi shouldn't be political or controversial

Oh, but my question was half-serious?...

In all seriousness, my comment is meant to say that it shouldn't be handed down as a decision. Being called a nazi isn't a light threat.

 

Only someone who openly calls for the death of jews and supports the Third Reich's policies should be a called a nazi. Otherwise, they may simply be a terrible person or the accuser is just resorting to biases.

Nazis aren't new and them being in games isn't either but people being called nazis when they aren't is definitely a new and recent thing. I can see this from both sides and I agree with both sides on certain things.

I think the issue I have is that during the nudity debate many people talked about how games are games and shouldn't be censored. Personally, I think this game should continue the original's tradition of beating up nazis

I agree with that. They could release a tweet saying that they're not conflating the right with nazis to kill the conversity over it. It's really simple.

People really need to understand the importance behind using the right words with the things that fit their meaning and in alot of these cases need to read the definition before using certain words. Mainly because everyone will start to see it as a boy crying wolf. It devalues the meaning of words. Calling Milo a nazi or alt right is incorrect and anyone who calls him those words need to go back to middle school. 

This is especially important because when words like Nazi and fascist are used left and right, their meanings get diluted. It has gotten to the point that they only mean "I don't like you, so I'll slap this label on you to make you look bad". Also, if you try to redefine what those words means to suit your narrative, it can actually backfire on you. For instance:

Exactly. Those words are being used way too loosely.

Good ol' Yvette.... I think that she immortalized herself as a meme about extremism. She was arrested at the berkeley thing again not that long ago.
