So recently there was a post that got removed from /r/RPG about how punching nazis is a great thing so you should buy my stuff and I'll give 5% of the money to a good cause. You know, the anti-capitalist way.
Well, that post got jannied; only the jannies were very keen for the sub to know that while they do it for free, they didn't do that for free - it was done by the admiggers who, unlike the jannies, get paid to mop. The jannies of /r/rpg then pinned the seethepost to the top of the sub to ensure everyone knows that they do it for free.
This then caused a bunch of extra virtue signalling nazi resisting to pop up, including:
Remaking the post under a "cleverly" reworded title

Someone just linking to the bundle and going "updoots to the left" in possibly the laziest poast
https://old.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1idr5tw/bundle_of_holding/
A post linking to a "game" that isn't a game, just a political screed. Most egregiously, it lets you play as a jo*rnalist.

And finally, another re-linking to the bundle but this time with even more seething about the admins
https://old.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1idtaov/since_it_appears_that_reddits_admins_love_nazis/
One comment on that thread is promoting the game Eat the Reich which is... not good as notepad anon summarizes:
needless to say /r/rpg has put them at the top of the thread
and a bonus opportunity for ban evasion!
There's also this post that also promotes ETR in the most safe-edgy way I can think of

And while we're on the subject of "antifascist RPGs that you have to buy for some reason" don't forget to check out @MayflyAlt-98's post about the hilariously bad SIGMATA: This Signal Kills Fascists

In my entire life I've not met a neo-Nazi in real life. The only one I've run into online, the other thing I remember him for is that he's really good at understanding and reviewing RPGs.
It's like in Dr. Strangelove when Mandrake is talking about getting tortured by the Japanese and then says "But they make such bloody good cameras."
