Being anti-nazi shouldn't be political or controversial

[Slimebeast]

Nobody thinks that the game Wolfenstein itself is controversial because it involves killing nazis.

The problem is when these statements are being taken outside of the game into the real world and our time.

People are upset at the marketing campaign for the latest Wolfenstein game, because it quite obviously refers to recent political discourse where socialists made it a hashtag to punch nazis about one year ago (and soon after, the alt-right leader Richard Spencer fell victim to a disgusting commie sucker punching him, like several video snippets in this thread show), and to very controversial and polarizing political events like Charlottesville, where the demonstrators were (wrongfully) being depicted as violent nazis by media.

This issue gets especially problematic when it's the left who gets to decide who is and who isn't a nazi. Leftist agitators and protestors very often call the British Jew/Greek homosexual Milo Yiannopolous a nazi - who himself is a target for nazi hatred. Some leftists like to use the word nazi to describe nearly everyone who belongs to the political right.

But even if Milo was a true nazi, it's wrong to incite violence against him, just as it is against Richard Spencer.

So it's really dirty by Bethesda to take advantage of the attention connected to the events at Charlottesville and the subsequent media witchhunt campaign against the alt-right, and risk creating a situation where the moral justification to kill nazi soldiers in WW2 or in a video game context, gets conflated with punching or persecuting real-life National-socialist individuals in our time.
