Captain america actually equated jewish protestors with neo nazis and said neither of them were good people. Posting this just in case some not-south park neutrals see this and cry.
It's controversial because they parodied Trump's slogan, and because Nazi has been bandied about and ascribed to right-wingers a lot lately. There's also the fact that political violence against so-called "Nazis" is being normalized.
Or maybe it's not all that "controversial" at all but people are sick of politics invading their entertainment and they are starting to push back a little bit.
They could have easily have made the game without any reference to modern day politics and it would have been a controversy free hit.
You know, most of the stuff you say is pretty retarded, but this is about right. If I have to put up with six more years of screeching about Nazis hiding in every corner and behind every lamppost, I'm just going to hole up and shitpost incessantly.
We've got pretty short attention spans nowadays, I'd be surprised if Nazis are still the public boogeyman 6 years from now. Maybe it will be Commies again. Maybe aliens. Perhaps even the Polish.

Since people seem to be drawing battlelines and making rhetorical battles for/against I guess you could say it is controversial then?
I know. Doesn't there need to be some type of bad guys to shoot at? You would think a video game where you kill nazis would be totally uncontroversial. Talk about getting one's fee-fees hurt.
Didn't realize Make x Great Again is owned by Trump now, when it really isn't after the stream of parodies and previous usages - like calling Pepe a Nazi meme
Meh, Trump and his supporters aren't Nazis really. Make no mistake - there are Nazi Trump supporters, but most of his base is just of the proto-fascist variety and Trump himself is just a really stupid guy that decided to use right-wing populism/white identity politics to win an election.
I doubt Trump subscribes to the same worldview his base does, but his rhetoric attracted the underbelly of society.
FWIW, given that I've seen about 10 threads, most locked, about this game today alone I think their marketing departments is in for one hell of a bonus. Make no mistake: this wasn't an accident.

500 videogames have come out in Year of Our Lord 2017. One of them is about shooting Nazis.
"Invaded" GMAFB. God damn. One game comes out and your pansy ass nazi sympathizing sensibilities get bussy blasted to hell.
Don't buy the game and fuck off.
They could have easily have made the game without any reference to modern day politics and it would have been a controversy free hit.
Everything in entertainment is about fucking politics these days just because the industry's golden girl lost and they can't seem to stop REEEEEEing about it.

You don't seem to be smart enough to understand that I don't really give a shit about nazis or shooting them. The issue is that the developers felt the need to tie their marketing to current politics, despite the fact that the game is a complete fantasy.

It's funny watching the right-wing SJWs screech about video game content. How are you any different than the feminists that screech about video games?
He said while linking a biased article which still doesn't say the people who don't like the ad are literal nazis
I was literally reading that thread in disbelief. The guy posts a 50-word snippet from an article that contradicts their fucking point and no one reads it, instead it's all just a "i hate nazis too upvotes to the left" circlejerk or virtue signaling. What the fuck is this site coming to?
I think, at this juncture, it's quite clear that the burden of proof is on u/headasplodes to prove that he isn't the child of the forbidden union between Goebbels and Himmler.
I can’t believe people are still falling for “antifa beat up an innocent liberal because he had a nazi haircut” bullshit Jesus god whatever happened to “don’t believe everything you see on TV”
australia and because people are easily influenced here as much as anywhere
its funny to me that people are all RRARRGH NAZIS but as soon as you call antifa a bunch of fags theyre all offended talking about how its a minor phenomena and dont worry about it its not a real thing
yeah i used to go around to my friends house in grade 5 and play on his dads 386, we used to make custom maps that looked like a penis and that were full of hitlers
theres a big difference in the tone, the original is just wanton violence and nazis are generic bad guys
this new one is trying to make modern political allegories and they fall flat because its dorks that dont know anything making them
they think "nazis in america that are teaming up with the kkk" is so clever you can pretty much see their shit eating grins by proxy
on a lighter note its pretty funny that in the last modern one the jews had a big golden palace under the sea, way to avoid those stereotypes guys

A lot of people's brains seem to shut down when they see the word nazi.
Responses like this make me want to beat my head against my desk until I die of a brain hemmorrhage.

Don't let anyone here stop you from achieving that. Let us know how you get on.
1 OccasionallyClueless 2017-10-06
We've got a Pavlovian response to it now.
But anyway, questioning if something/someone is actually a nazi is a pretty nazi thing to do, so you should really be ashamed of yourself.
1 tcmalloc 2017-10-06
He's not wrong, there was a war about this exact thing.
1 heavenlytoaster 2017-10-06
Which is why we killed 51% of all Germans after the war.

I thought the previous "new" Wolfenstien" game was OK but pretty generic. Not as good as the new Doom or Dishonored.

1 captainpriapism 2017-10-06
lol what facts are these
that one guy cut his hand but i can get a dozen other examples of them attacking random passers by if you like
antifa should be unironically gassed
1 GDJT 2017-10-06
Have you ever met someone who is "antifa?" I am convinced that there are a tiny handful of them and somehow they became the nazi-right boogeyman.
50 deep end left dudes in Berkeley do not matter. At all. For real.
1 captainpriapism 2017-10-06
lol is this what you guys are claiming now that theyre counted as domestic terrorists and people hate the shit out of them
because we all saw how giddy people were with the idea of masking up and assaulting people in the street
"omg its an american tradition to punch a nazi!"
well it wont matter when theyre all getting raped and murdered in jail for being communists then i guess
1 GDJT 2017-10-06
You misunderstand. I don't give a shit about antifa either way.
I would never think of them except dumb people bringing them up constantly on Reddit.
Throw them in jail to be raped. Make a antiantifa group. I don't care. Just quit your bitching.
1 captainpriapism 2017-10-06
the funny thing is the "50 guys turned into a boogeyman" perfectly describes the "nazis" everyones so worried about
1 GDJT 2017-10-06
That's great and all but has nothing to do with my post you are replying to.
1 captainpriapism 2017-10-06
you said it like 2 posts up you penis
im not really too concerned with your position on antifa other than that you think theyre a conspiracy for whatever reason
they arent, american liberals are just panicking because they know they fucked up by backing them and now theyre trying to disavow
1 GDJT 2017-10-06
Remind me, what country are you from? And why do you give a shit about insignificant groups of nazis and antifa in america?
1 captainpriapism 2017-10-06

its funny to me that people are all RRARRGH NAZIS but as soon as you call antifa a bunch of fags theyre all offended talking about how its a minor phenomena and dont worry about it its not a real thing
1 CIRCLONT6 2017-10-06
