:marseyexcitedexosuit: :marsey40k: Battletech Gothic announced, immediately denounced as Nazi Bar

apparently it's some one-off alternate-universe thing, but le heckin' CHUDS might like it because it's a 40k skin (with kaiju) on mechwank. :marseyshrug:

:soysnootype: 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.

:smugjak: this le heckin' RAT-M chorus kills fascists:

Oof. I lived in the Midwest for a long time. Lot of great folks, but some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses. Where I live now is a state that has a long history of mixed peoples and so these issues, still exist, but aren't at the forefront anymore.

writing an ideology into a piece of fiction, and even having it as the protagonist in that fiction, is not a bad thing and means nothing. making clear statements that This is Good and the way Things Should Be in a lore descriptor thats written to be in an objective tone, however, is a clear statement of endorsement by the author. this is basic media literacy?
