Yes, I'm sure the people who have links to fascist organizations sure are a trustworthy bunch. Their self-penned family history of how the suffered from Nazi oppression is proof enough that their ties with fascists are merely for the purposes of obtaining unbiased news.

could you shut the gently caress up and give the proof youve been hiding under your hate boner already

It's more than just the CEO.

-Gameplay designer Jakub Stychno is a supporter of the fascistic Obóz Narodowo Radykalny, as well as the homophobic, nationalistic Młodzież Wszechpolska.

-FX artist Marcin Kaźmierczak is also a supporter of Młodzież Wszechpolska, and of several anti-social justice, anti-gay Facebook pages. (Including a right-wing boycott of a Polish boxer who supports gay rights.)

-Level designer and lighting artist Cyprian Listowski has another job as a tattoo designer; two of his original designs include symbolism commonly associated with right-wing groups. One depicts a sonnenrad, a sunwheel symbol popular among Neo-Nazis. The other incorporates a słoneczko (an Early Slavic variation on the swastika appropriated by nationalists) and an “othala rune”, framed within a larger “life rune”.

If it was just the CEO it could be an easy mistake, but all 4 guys have some (at least online) association with hate groups. I'm not going to stretch that to claim they're Neo Nazis, but they're definitely fans of groups I wouldn't want to support in any way.

See this person provides info before spending 600 posts masturbating about neo Nazis.

A Good Post.

I missed it then, was it in this thread? I don't especially want to trawl through the Steam thread and I thought I had followed this one pretty closely because I am an insane person.

Mjolnir, a known symbol coopted by white supremacists with a swastika in it? No, totally the request of a Hindu neo-pagan. I mean, it's not as if either of those symbols have any completely different meaning other than "I am a believer of both Hinduism and Asatru"

Maybe if they truly are both they could perhaps choose a different design? How about Thor and Ganesh, back to back, fending off the hordes at Ragnarok? A much better design, and one that isn't going to get you bundled in with Neo Nazis, assuming that isn't your goal.

shut the gently caress up and cite sources already jesus christ you angry little man

Oh, I guess I did see that then. A bunch of :words: without evidence and a link to somebody's tattoo website. :shrug:

I don't even want to defend the dumb people making a bad game, sometimes I wish I wasn't such a sucker. I guess I will just take these claims as truth so that I can stop.

But thanks for linking it. I don't mean to sound ungrateful.

oh sure would be nice to see some direct, distinct stuff to get confirmation but the dude put more effort in than draig's faux-offense

Why didn't anyone accuse Luftrausers of being a Nazi game?

one pcgamer reviewer mentioned nazis in his review of luftrausers, then went on a rant about mras and misogyny for over a third of the article lol

i think it's great the "they're just toys" thing only gained traction when the people who write about them got all condescending about those who consume them lol

Curious why it would have gotten AO. Isn't that usually only for explicit sexual content? I remember Manhunt 2 causing a fuss by having castration on-screen, but I've never played it myself.

Fair enough! I don't understand much of the American censorship stuff. Over here it's just a basic 12/15/18 with the latter covering everything from extreme mutilation to porn. :v:

The score penalty was completely negligible as well, which was the funniest thing. It was such a transparently token effort at getting the board off their back.
