@jpaskaruk make nazis disposable mooks again

@estelle @jpaskaruk why are we hunting Nazis?

Because fuckem' they're Nazis - good enough reason at any time

@jpaskaruk if this sounds like a good idea, one might consider the similarly themed (and similarly apolitical) zombie army series

@estelle @jpaskaruk maybe include modern quotes and have characters repeat them right before being killed.

@jpaskaruk I wish for a game that balances putting Nazis in a blender with acts of kindness and compassion to those the Nazis seek to harm

@kyle_pegasus @jpaskaruk I think it's difficult to make a game like that without getting into super heavy and controversial themes, (even if you put it in a fantasy/sci-fi setting.) I think the programmers were trying to go for pure escapism and haven't realized how much the real world has changed sense Raiders of the Lost Ark was released.

@marronvulpes @kyle_pegasus no. In 1983, it was entirely uncontroversial to kill Nazis, and the fact it is not currently is a "failure" of historical memory. In quotes because the dumbing down was deliberate and methodical.

In a world of peace and rationality, there is nothing political about this game, or even controversial.

Indiana Jones is a hero now, a hero then, and a hero forever.

@jpaskaruk @kyle_pegasus You're probably right, I didn't really intend to make a comparison between this game and Raiders, I was the first example that popped in my head. I guess I'm still subconsciously influenced by propaganda about the past being different than it actually was.
