Are you offended by this?


Conservatives are up in arms over a new video game called Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus, a game that's an "alternative history" plot that seems to suggest that former President Ronald Reagan was working as a NAZI COLLABORATOR, creating propaganda for the Hitler regime before being killed by the German Dictator!!

It follows returning main character BJ Blazkowicz who helps the resistance to try to overthrow the Nazis as it's a first person shooter game set in 1961 in which Germany won WW2

A scene was uploaded to Youtube with several characters are seen practicing lines for a Nazi propaganda performance while on Venus as 2 men in the corner are head speaking.

One man asks him "What's your name, Roland was it?" The other man says "Replies Ronald, Ronald".

Soon after Hitler enters the room and suddenly pulls a gun on "Ronald" and when hitler was offended when he didn't call him "mein fuhre" and accused him of being Jewish, Ronald says "No Mein Fuhrer, i'm from Arizona"

Ronald is suddenly shot and viewers see the back of his chair with half of it covered that only shows the last 3 letters "Gan"

Gamers suggest the character is supposed to be a young Ronald Reagan before he took office in the United States and was still taking acting jobs.

Arizona is noteworthy as Reagan never associated with the state as he was born in Illnois and moved to Iowa before going to California"

Also the game takes place when he should have been 51 and the actor looked and acted too young..

Another redditor suggested that many "conservatives and pro-business people would have collaborated with the Nazis".

Still, Conservatives are outraged that they are being portrayed as nazi sympathizers in the game and have denounced the game!

MachineGames refused to comment by the Reagan theory.

Are you offended by this? let's see what people will vote

Wolfenstein 2 -

I totally missed that somehow... To be fair though, anyone who knows anything about Nazi Germany and its policies on "differences" can't judge anybody for going along with it. There's a difference between keeping your head down so the Gestapo doesn't haul your family away in the night and revelling in your job at Dachau though...

First off it's "alternative history". It doesn't have any bearing on real world events. If Wolfenstein had been about a fictional alien invasion instead of a fictional portrayal of a war and Ronald Reagan was shown as an SPACEMAN COLLABORATOR no one would care.

Second, I didn't think conservatives got offended over stupid shit like this and were better off for it.

Conservatives love making fun of liberals for getting easily offended, while getting easily offended themselves.

Which reminds me, it's just about time for the annual War on Christmas! How many years in a row has Christmas won, again? Wonder if this will be the year Christmas finally gets that fatal blow XD

Yeah, the '90s were sort of the last time conservatives really cornered the offended market. While it's still a thing, and mainly religion-based, liberals have just gone sooooo far beyond anything resembling rationality that it masks everyone else's butthurt. It's like a newspaper having an article about one murder and another about ten thousand people being hacked up by crazed, axe-wielding cannibals. Sure, both are technically on the same topic, but there's a clear attention-hog.

I'm not saying the bar is set high. I just thought it wasn't as low as the bar for liberals complaining about a box of corn pops.

Insinuating that American presidents were secretly Nazis is in exceedingly poor taste, tbh. And, in general, the anti-conservative virtue-signaling in the game is probably hurting their brand given that it's a large segment of FPS players.

Redditors are generally idiots.

There's no alien race which carries anything close to the negative connotation as the Nazis -- especially within the current political climate -- which is why having Reagan or Obama secretly turn out to be an alien infiltrator would be less distasteful.

Didn't know Nazi's went around telling people to shut up. I guess they weren't so bad after all!

As a conservative libertarian who happens to really like and admire Ronald Reagan, I can't say I'm "offended". I will say, however, that I think this is dumb and quite disrespectful. But it's nothing to get all up in arms about. And I may buy the game for Switch or a Steam sale or something.

I will say that Bethesda wouldn't dare do it to a Democrat president, and that if they did, the left would go nuts.

ronald reagen created the police state we live in
people regulary have their homes broken into by cops on something as little as word of mouth
reagen is the perfect candidate for a nazi arch type
as the nazi's did the same with the stasi in support of the 'state'

Alternative facts are things that happened but the news outlets don't report on. Things that are true and not mainstream. Alternative history didn't happen.

It stands to reason that a game about an alien invasion would feature a race of aliens that was trying to destroy the planet and/or enslave all humans. I like how you're more offended by "he fictionally collaborated with fictional Nazis" than "he fictionally collaborated with fictional aliens bent on apocalyptic genocide/slavery." Kind of proving the point here.

Yeah but it's a duckbear topic. So when he says, "Conservatives are up in arms!" that usually means one guy with 12 followers posted about how it was dumb on Twitter.

I didnt say it stopped, but the wrong pronoun meltdowns and trying to ban free speech outweigh all of that, because you have to factor in the headcount of those involved. The KKK is basically dead, the media just loves controversy. SJWs are actually leaving a footprint on policy, fringe conservatives arent accomplishing anything.
