For those who didn't play the game, the whole point of that segment was that even the most pristine, idyllic image of the Nazi-envisioned world reserved for the upper crusts of Americana and their useful servants sucks to live in. You listen into conversations which highlight the constant sense of dread and anxiety of maintaining their place in an ever-shrinking hierarchical strata. There's an upcoming "Changeover Day" which, in the words of the that one Nazi chatting with two Klan members, will "separate the wheat from the chaff". I'm pretty sure either the anime pfp Nazi never played the game or did but convinced themselves they'd thrive in this scenario.
The game was peak lib most of the time but it was quite poignant with its themes on Fascism and its American roots. It's a shame that the game that followed it up was so bad.

I would doubt it was intentional, but, particularly in western societies, children of the bourgeoisie are and always have been allowed performative transgression without loss of status (see sorority culture) with it to some degree being expected to 'fit in', particularly women, as long as it serves either the dominant patriarchal sexual appetite or a larger fashion industry complex that is largely controlled by the bourgeoisie.
Basically, them wearing short skirts and moving around unaccompanied is not transgressive, but them doing that and then either rejecting the sexual advances of privileged males or having other opinions about the cultural or political norms are.
While it can depend upon the sorority, many sororities, particularly in the south, encourage a 'Party on Saturday, Pray on Sunday' attitude, where these social settings are where they are supposed to seek out husbands. In doing so, many of them will participate in fringe fashions that supposedly run counter to their 'conservative values', ultimately because they are not wholly adopted culturally or ideologically, but purely performatively. In doing this performance, this is part of the process that can potentially move these styles into the popular bourgeoise culture, because it is about the woman wearing the outfit, not the outfit wearing the woman.
Current feminist theory often discusses the contradictions this creates within a patriarchal society, as it is simultaneously a rejection from normative patriarchal definitions of fashion, but is simultaneously only acceptable within those norms, specifically within the male-gaze. Essentially, one can deviate, but only within the acceptable tolerance margins, and only for a specific time period.
Edit: I don't really buy into that personally. My personal opinion is that pretty much all values in the U.S. at this moment are mostly post-hoc rationalizations of reactionary nihilism, with maybe a skeleton of an ideological framework.
I didn't expect to be emotionally affected by the quippy punch man kills Nazis game but
spoiler
the bit where Blasko goes back to the farm and finds out his dad handed his mum over to the Nazis without a single regret
fucking destroyed me.
They managed to make an emotional roller-coaster game featuring this meathead

I wonder how many of the chuds soy facing over Nazi America literally couldn't learn German to save their lives.
I just started playing Young Blood and if finding the Nazi killing fun so far, though the RPG elements are a bit weird. What other problems does it have?
Honestly besides the rpg elements the game is mostly fine. People really hated the twins but I find them endearing.
So much hate for the twins but I liked them too. The game seemed neat and co-op makes everything better but I heard the grind gets pretty dire further in
I replayed it a year or two ago after all the patches and the grind wasn't so bad, but I remember it being awful when I played at launch.
