Battletech Gothic announced, immediately denounced as Nazi Bar

god redditors are insufferable

The problem with the Nazi bar argument isn't that it's entirely wrong. The problem is that the people sharing it are usually leftist enough that they present the same risks. Say no to commie bars, too. Don't give extremists traction. !anticommunists !grillers

In the future all media will be divided into chud and soy branches

Sure, and I doubt that the BT writers are about to careen into preaching ethnonationalist theocracy, but I mean... propaganda can be accidental. Like, Heinlein set out to write progressive scifi about more tolerant societies and ended up a crypto-fascist icon.

These are the same neighbors that be talking about "media literacy" lmao. They can only conceive of things in complete black and white like children.

Starship Troopers (the novel) was genuinely pro-militarism while also being very progressive in terms of race and gender. It's about humanity as a whole uniting under one banner to wage a war against aliens, and how being in the military gives people a real sense of purpose and identity that elevates them.

Bonus potentially problematic SINOPHOBIA :

All of that being said, making Max Liao literally a snake man was definitely a choice, especially when CGL appeared to be doing a lot of work to course correct after Battletech's long history of potentially problematic cultural issues.

BASIC HUMAN DECENCY!!!

Within the context it still looks bad. Firstly, the Capellans are the only faction in the book where no human character is depicted in the art at all, secondly they are only tolerant because the Chancellor is mutated so the polities were changed for the benefit of their rulers. If they were supposed to be depicted as more humane than anyone else then the reason for the policies should be a basic human decency which would be served best as having a regular human on this throne and a mix of people of different species in the Death Commandos. No extra reason for having those policies, just decency. Art direction and writing are choices. Unintentionaly, but CGL made a choice and that choice reads as racist. It will stay with this product and the blame is entirely on CGL. Complaining about racism is not being a grognard nor it is gatekeeping. I wonder what would this community say if a similar choice was made about a faction that for whatever reason reads as LGBT. Because I bet the majority reaction would be quite different...

>Ackshually Chud, Robert Heinlein was a leftist all along!

Heinlein pretty openly wanted American society to be progressive, tolerant, and expansionist/nationalist. He said that he wrote Starship Troopers in response to leftists who wanted to end nuclear testing. The bugs were meant to represent the Asiatic communist hordes.

Someone failed their heckin' media literacy test

Redditors are freebirth scum and do everything to ruin fun

This is what wh40k was warning about btw

I thought all the writers for gw AND battletech were going woke!?

anyways where is this mythical nazi gay bar I can hang out at

ngl this just looks like dark age minis (which were cool because you didnt need to paint them and had spikes and swords and shit)

@Krayon (sister toucher)Philospher at this point you shouldn't just quit rdrama.net, you should actually keep yourself safe.

I'm not joking, you've fricked your sister, you've been doxxed, you've been ridiculed to the extreme by a group of people who get ridiculed by normies 99% of the time. It has never been so over as it is for you right now.

There is no way up left for you. You have no shot left at a thriving career, a caring husband, a loving father or anything else. I would have liked to see you become a useful member of society but come on, if you had the resolve to become one, you would have the tenacity to not frick your sister

You're probably going to die in a meth or heroin OD when you're 40 and your last days would be a painful hallucination of the places you always wanted to visit

It's better to just keep yourself safe when you no there's no way you're escaping this fate. I would suggest blade to the wrist because it matches your aesthetic.

Snapshots:

Sure, and I doubt that the BT writers are about to careen into preaching ethnonationalist theocracy, but I mean... propaganda can be accidental. Like, Heinlein set out to write progressive scifi about more tolerant societies and ended up a crypto-fascist icon. And as the saying goes, once nazis start hanging out at your bar, you're not a bar anymore, you're a nazi bar. They're your market, and you'll end up serving them.:
