I was banned from Reddit for saying I enjoyed the parts of red dead redemption 2 where you had to kill slave owners and kkk members. Literally said I enjoyed a mainstream video game and the main quest. Inciting violence against polygons in an imaginary world that took place 150 years ago.

Imagine saying you enjoyed playing Wolfenstein.

14 year account. RIP.

Reddit also banned me for saying nazis deserve to be punched. A comment I made under a post similar to this. Appearantly making such posts is fine, but commenting the same shit is unforgivable.

Hah! I also got a permanent ban for posting "bullets would fix this" to a post sympathizing with pedophiles claiming treatment and compassion were the only solution. Wild...

Yeah, I'm not sure what's up over there where it suddenly became not ok to punch Nazis.

It used to be even mainstream media encouraged punching Nazis. Don't watch an old Blues Brothers movie if punching Nazis offends you too I guess.

I think reddit ostensibly banned /r/ChapoTrapHouse because the mods weren't banning people who said slave owners should be killed.

I also enjoy killing the klan in Mafia 3

I got booted for saying we should kill them, in relation to a repeat offender pdf file.

Literally the next comment in the thread was saying it should be legal.

Wolfenstein: new order is pretty sus.

In the game there's actually a Jewish Cabal conspiring against the third riche, which would make the Nazis...right?

Great game tho 7.8/10

And that kind of shit is exactly the reason why there's still a denazified German version. Killing Nazis isn't the issue, putting them in a metaphysical context, derealising them, etc, is what's the problem. You don't want kids one day to think of Nazis as fictional characters.

Wrong. Nazi symbolism is just straight up banned in Germany. There are exceptions for stuff like documentaries and also for use in art. Movies have been accepted as art for a while. Videogames only recently. The regular version os The New Order is now available in Germany. I am german and I have bought on steam.
