I'm... confused. The quote in question is a line from what I can extrapolate is from the Indiana Jones game. A game where there are literal Nazis from the era where they were part of the plot. In this context, I do not see the issue. Like, this isn't a case where someone is just being called a nazi in the modern era. The line literally makes sense in the context it is given, is it not? I know how hard wired we have become to roll out eyes at the hyperbole of the internet, but this seems like a silly "smoking gun."
THAT BEING SAID! I have not played the game. Nor the DLC that I guess this line is in and I do not know first hand if he is actually referring to Nazis, or Mussolini and his dudes that I am pretty sure never adopted the Nazi moniker, but did consider themselves fascist. If the statement is not referring to these two SPICIFC groups, then yes. This is a retarded line.
bethesda literally posted that clip with the caption "good kitty" after bethesda received complaints about some of their devs celebrating charlie kirk's death, and they then deleted the tweet after the immense backlash
it's obvious what the intent was. also cute of you to assume that they even care about what the correct definition of a nazi or a fascist is.
Yeah, I had to look at this from a different angle and I now realize there's additional context I missed. It was a bit more nuance than I initially thought and the outrage did not stem from where I thought.
no worries i also missed context at first
