I 'think' there's a more innocent interpretation in there of something like, "If you're going to do Nazis right now, it might be worth making them more than a cliche villain to spray lead at so people can see how intrusive and insidious the ideology is."

buuuuut "we don't need more anti-nazi slop shoved down our throats" is one hell of a way to say that xP

Yeah, mostly because that’s not at all what he was trying to say with that sentiment.

Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity.

Except for Nazis: it's all malice.

But how do you cross that Nazi threshhold without false positives?

[-] mech@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

If you complain that anti-nazi media is biased, you've passed it.

What about when it's stupid malice?

That would be a bit more of a valid interpretation if it weren't for the fact that Wolfenstein is set in an alternate universe where the Nazis win the war.

You can hardly make them the classic 'inevitably going to fail' villain when they've been in power for the last 60 years.

Maybe they could add a scene where one of them is stroking a white cat although honestly that's pretty much the Wolfenstein aesthetic already.
