Usually, if someone requests something that annoys me and I'm in a position to refuse, I just go ahead and refuse or outright disregard the request.

Oh, come on...

From the link: "Video game available on Steam allows players to simulate being a Hamas teroist who k*lls Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar,’” the account posted. In November, Nijm released an update called the “Operation al-Aqsa Flood Update,” which alludes to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel by having Palestinian fighters paragliding into an Israeli military base."

Fair enough. Have a good one.

No. You have given an opposite example.

I said "Would you be against [...] a game glorifying the IDF as it fights against Hamas terrorists in Gaza?" (and I would link to that if I could figure out how to do that...).

The main part of your message is just you saying "Israel are Nazis!!!", which is besides the point.

Panzer Corps probably glorifies Nazis as well.

Great. as I said earlier - I’m willing to put $1000 that this game doesn’t glorify Nazis, and $100 more that it actively makes it clear to the player that while the game is played from the Nazi perspective, the game isn’t intended to glorify Nazis. Would you be willing to take that bet?

Bliutzkrieg Poland: Heroes of the third reich” has a very explicit context. The third reich specifically refers to nazi Germany.

Sorry, but if you think “panzer corps” doesn't specifically refers to Nazi Germany, that's on you. The first line from Wikipedia reads: A panzer corps (German: Panzerkorps) was an armoured corps type in Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht during World War II.

You just said you'd be okay with glorification of "theoretical" Nazis, but not if they hadn't committed multiple war crimes, countless atrocities, murdering and incarcerating people based on mental health, ethnicity and sexual orientation. No, the thing you're most with is that they didn't have a good enough reason to invade Poland.

I lost interest in talking to you.

I've already given that example earlier...

What other comment?

[–] CerealKiller01 -3 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Okay, let's put that another way:

Do you agree that “Knights of al-Aqsa” probably glorifies Hamas?

Do you agree that “Panzer Corps” probably does not glorify the Nazis?

If you answered "yes" to both questions, do you understand the difference between both games?

I rewatched the first episode of Voyager, and when Neelix first comes aboard the ship, he marvels at the great culture that created it. Tuvok says something along the lines of "The Federation is made up of many cultures. I am Vulcan". A few scenes later, Neelix calls Tuvok "Mr. Vulcan", and Tuvok does not correct him. So, yeah, 100% lack of communication on Tuvok's side. Sure, Neelix hears other people call Tuvok by his proper name, and as some point he understood "Vulcan" is the name of his race. But by then, as Tuvok never corrected him or shown any visible dislike to being called that, he might have come to the conclusion that Tuvok likes it, and thinks of it as a funny nickname.
