Even thought these are rhetorical questons I want to hear some opinions anyway (since I like to hear many, different opinions in some matters I'm interested in):
Why so much fuss and oversensiviteness about nazism in videogames? Why is it OK to kill nazis in videogames but not taking part as a nazi? Why do they have to edit every nazism reference even if they're not intended (like the way some rival trainers or Pokemon raise their hand in Pokemon games) ? And why when there's a character that is dressed like a nazis even thought the game doesn't have to do with WWII this game isn't released outside Japan (like a certain Atlus game which its name I don't remember, maybe a Shin Megami Tensei game) ?

First a racism thread and now a nazism thread? Is the sequel going to be about gay bashing?

Why so much fuss and oversensiviteness about nazism in videogames? Because they're Nazis. Because they're Nazis.Because Nintendo doesn't want trainers to be seen as Nazis.* I dunno if you missed the memo but Persona 2 isn't just guys dressed like Nazis and it's not just a guy dressed like Hitler, it is actually legit supposed to be Hitler. Referred to by name and intention. Hitler revived from the dead. Does the question really need to be posed, even rhetorically, why that might not fly outside of Japan? Thread over, close it, never speak of it again. *technically, they're cockfighters |

From a business standpoint, anything glorifying Nazism is illegal in Germany.
Plus there's this whole business of the genocide of 6 million Jews and countless others.

Pokemon Trading card game edited a cards artwork because of a swastika on the card even though the card ment the other meaning of the symbol. Simlar thing happened to Yugioh with this card. yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Artworks:Psychic_CommanderThough I does not beat the sillyness that happened to a Launch Day Event with a card from the same set that people at the Time thought was going to get a name change because of its name backwards. It did not get a name change though. yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Izanami |
