This is kind of old drama but I was looking for potential father's day & birthday gifts for family & friends and stumbled across this board game called "Secret Hitler"
This 2 and a half year old game has a 4.9 star average across over 13,000 reviews on Amazon and sold 3,000+ copies in the last month alone. As far as I can tell, it's second only to Ticket To Ride as a board game that's both well-reviewed and selling well.
The game is sort of like Mafia, where one player is "Hitler" and a team of hidden "fascists" try to use deceit to install "Hitler" into power in the face of a "liberal" majority that's trying to stop them.
The game's PC way of explaining the Hitler theme is that essentially it's an interactive way to learn how paranoia and distrust empowers fascism, how liberal temptation to use state power to prevent fascism can actually aid it, etc. The game's online rule explanation is even narrated by gigalib Will Weaton
The rules aren't necessary for this thread but if you're curious they're here
So how is a 4.9 star game about Hitler dramatic? Well, about half of the 1% of people who left 1 star reviews are absolutely seething, and people are mad across the spectrum.
First, some chuds can't face the fact that Hitler was the chudmaster supreme and that normal people think Hitler is bad
The immediate appeal to military patriotism isn't helping you beat the fascism allegations Steph...
Some libs are mad because Hitler and the fascists are happy when they win, when really they should apologize for winning and be sad. This game is promoting fascism!
Jewish people with holocaust relatives understandably find this to be a sensitive subject
The sole survivor?
Finally, some 'centrist' equivacators arrive to remind us that both sides are bad
Erm, actually Hitler saved Germany from the communist street fighters, and they're called national socialists not nazis. It was complicated OK?

This game rules. A fun house rule that we added is when a bill is passed, you have to say what it is, and we always make them as over the top as possible. For example, liberal policies include: open borders, mandatory trans surgeries for children, etc… fascist policies include: gas chambers for furries, creating right wing dearth squads, etc… and of course when a liberal policy passes we all clap and congratulate ourselves for being such good liberals. This truly is the ultimate griller's game

When I'll win, I'll be Nice Hitler. Not all of the Jews are so bad, so we will only kill 1 million of the most annoying ones. And all liberals who conspired against me shall be restored their full citizen rights if they say the word, "BIPOC," outloud in front of a group of black people. I'm a fair man. Let my will be done. Heil Hitler.

That is actually an example of cultural imperialism and is good. Dunking on european "people" is always cool. This brazilian guy is r-slurred enough to believe what he wrote. If you need proof of him being r-slurred all you need to do is look and see. He admits he is from brazil freely.
