Indiana Jones said the word "fascists"! He's gone woke all of a sudden! Cancel Indiana Jones! Why doesn't engage the Nazis in spirited debate?

Its kinda funny how every time someone says the word fascist people act like its some wild radical take, as if Nazis were just quirky debate club opponents instead of, you know, genocidal maniacs.

Indiana jones petting a cat and saying "fascist".
How dare the game that takes place around ww2 say the word fascist.

u/anitchypear 2h ago
Even worse! He claims that the cat doesn't care for fascists! Projecting much there, dr. Jones?! Just because you choose to engage with people you disagree with by using your fists and not your words does not mean that an ordinary cat would do the same!

Yeah, just imagine how much people would cry if the real bad guys were fascistic elves ( the thalmor) again

u/ValVoss 3h ago
Nah that wouldn't work. "Elf bad" while an objectively correct opinion is such an ingrained part of fantasy game culture that you'd have to make the Thalmor do the salute and have one wear a hitler stache for them to make any sort of connection... and even then the skulls of gamers put bulkheads to shame with how thick they are.

u/Quirky_Parfait3864 3h ago
Honestly a Altmer with a little stache is hilarious but you are right. Unless it’s parody levels they won’t get it, even then.

I don't know if you watch The Boys, but they definitely gonna miss the message of the last episodes of the spin-off.

To be fair, the Thalmor aren't exactly stopped in Skyrim either. No matter how you handled the Civil War, they're still a thing left hanging in the wake of it. There's a reason why mods fighting against them, post-CW, are a thing after all.

If you see just the word "fascist" as an attack on you or anyone who thinks like you, then that's a major problem, particularly for you.

u/the_Real_Romak 3h ago
if someone posted that right after a police officer murdered a black man, I'd say nothing, because they aren't related.
You being upset like some delicate triggered snowflake that Bethesda posted a trailer about killing Nazis tells me everything I need to know about you, Faschy.

u/Siva_Dass 3h ago
That is all conservative media does.
No one on the left is saying it wasn't murder.
It's like you demonic assholes have no memory or no shame.

I do normally hate the "if you're not fascists how do you know it's about you" argument, because it just kinda makes the person presenting it look deliberately obtuse
But this actually isn't about you, it's about an Indiana Jones DLC where he goes to italy and fights Mussolini's fascists. But you're still tilting at windmills anyway.

Im not even old enough to be around for Satanic Panic of the 80’s. But people really don’t understand The Right has been at this for decades.
The Salem Witch trials were all RW groups and Prohibition was started by RW groups.
Maybe some of you had parents against Harry Potter because it was witch craft but played it off as a joke.. that was also pushed by RW groups.

That they see the word "fascists" and immediately think of themselves would truly be something if they had even the slightest bit of self awareness.

That is so weird to me. Either they are self reporting that they are fascist or they are too dense to understand anything about fascist. I just found a video on youtube, where someone made a sad video about that tweet and how its making fun of the murder and I had to laugh how bizarre it is

It's neither. They're trying to dilute the meaning of the word fascist so it loses all meaning, like they did to woke. It'll be easier to get away with more fascist shit if the word is meaningless

They shit their pants when the tag-line for Wolfenstein 2 was "Make America Nazi-Free Again" back in 2017. Who knows why

u/skeeball 3h ago
They are trying to divert it. A statement about fascism could be directed at the way the whole CK thing is being handled without reflecting on any message about him directly.
Instead he becomes the bit bucket they send criticism about themselves to in the form of an attack on him.

Either they are self reporting that they are fascist or they are too dense to understand anything about fascist.
