      How difficult would it really be to redefine the word "tankie" as someone who only focuses on the War bits of history? The rad-lib usage already nearly runs parallel - "you just love the red army!!" Plus history-channel guys already have the fixation on "precision German engineered" tanks.

              One time, one chud very seriously made that argument to me.

              He did complain that Raiden in MGS2 was "political correctness," his words, because of the gender ambiguity gags in the game, like when his crotch was grabbed just to be sure.
