@matrix just love his brand of undergraduate-tier analysis

@moonman

@moonman @matrix hey, I really loved the channel back when I was 16/17

@grips
Didn't they change the host?
@moonman

@matrix @moonman I don't think so, they had several
maybe someone joined/left, I don't know... it's been years

@matrix he went FULL retard with that video, one of the most stupid parts of it is this

"if you enter a website with iron crosses and you don't immediately find them offensive and as a warning sign that you should leave immediately then you might start reading and buying into hateful ideas"

like what the FUCK? one of the easiest way to figure out if somebody disagrees with nazism is to have them read the actual source of that ideology and history, if they agree with it there's nothing to be done about it, but most people would gain insight and stop buying into the propaganda that tries to clean the image of nazism

@orekix @matrix
>iron crosses
>offensive

This is beyond full retard.

@orekix @matrix I was radicalized by Hogan's Heroes on Nick at Night

@orekix @matrix

@1iceloops123 @moonman @matrix @orekix rad-u-calized

Radical, dude!

@orekix @matrix If you're a grown adult in a free country you should be able to read whatever you damn well please and evaluate it on its own merits. Plus plenty of people read Mein Kampf without being Nazis. It's actually kind of important for understanding the movement. But most of all I hate hall monitors who think that it's ok to tell people what they can and can't read. Incidentally, that's a big thing I don't like about Nazis.

@orekix @matrix lmao

@orekix@aria.company @matrix@gameliberty.club it's basically the logic of the german gov. And he isnt even german

@matrix How many video games actually normalize Nazis? Almost all of them with Nazis or Nazi-like figures have them as the bad guys, and the few exceptions are usually a handful of white supremacist propaganda games that are commercially irrelevant.

@ArdanianRight
Mostly ww2 games let you play them
@matrix

@1iceloops123 @matrix Pretty sure they don't portray them positively.

@ArdanianRight
I agree
@matrix

@matrix Extra Credits has always held this kind of insufferable attitude of "developers should be more responsible with the message they're putting out". I used to not mind this because while I disagreed with it, they still argued their position well and always erred on the side of creative liberty and still put out good apolitical content.

All this changed when they got the new host. A lot of the content is now overtly political and is now outright arguing that developers shouldn't present certain perspectives or explore certain themes because "it's offensive" or "it's wrong to make someone play the bad guy".

They've become the "video games bad" argument they used to rally against in the past, but instead of "driving people to violence", it's "driving people to nazism". They're literally making some of the exact same dumbass arguments about "normalization" that we've been refuting for DECADES at this point. I'm glad they got ratio'd to hell and back for that video.
