    "White man bad game" and its the Bioshock game where the group of black revolutionaries turn into a pillaging horde as soon as they lose their single authority figure so you are obliged to shoot them in the face through the rest of the game

    Later DLC would ""reveal"" that the black revolutionary leader only pretended to want to kill a child so the white main female character would grow as a person by killing her.

    bioshock infinite bad

    Bioshock infinite doesn't count because its entire plot is saying that slaves rising up against their slave owners is as bad as being a slave owner.

    Wolfenstein 2 is a masterpiece however, but also BJ is literally white

      BJ's mom is Jewish. The series uses it for comedic/dramatic effect as well. Meeting Frau Engel on the train in 1 is such a tense yet comedic experience because of BJ's Jewishness.

        Been a while since I played it, but I'm guessing she was complementing him as a "perfect Aryan specimen" or whatever?

      Wolfenstein 1 still had that sketchy ass relationship between a brain damaged guy and the nurse who changed his adult diapers for two decades while he was almost comatose. I checked out when those two had a sex scene.

    Not only that, but it's about heroes who are literally white killing nazis lol. Red Dead Redemption 2's protagonist was a white cowboy who wasn't racist. They'll screech about how not every white person is racist, then when a non-racist white person is depicted, they screech that it's still anti white because they identify with the crackers being shot by the players.

      They really should try identifying as that one old Lemoyne raider in the upstairs bedroom of Shady Belle

    Game where women and minorities exist and/or are playable: Woke

    Game where everyone you kill is white and the player is white: Woke

    Hmmm it sure sounds to me like they want a game where you play as a white guy but you kill non-white people. thonk

    You'd think they'd be happy that Wolfenstein avoided wokewashing by making all the Nazis white. Maybe they're upset because the new Nazi leader was a woman? Idk, just seems like a skill issue for all the Nazi men.

      And like, you're a white guy killing the nazis, what is that if not positive representation?

        Yeah but Wolfenstein Youngblood makes the protaganists young white twin sisters and their black friend, so basically the whole franchise is ruined forever now.

      First is better gameplay wise, with better set pieces and a stronger ending. The sequel had a lot more it wanted to say

        The first Wolfenstein reboot has some of the most aggressive sounding guns I've ever heard in a game. It's perfect. Every gun sounds like you're firing a giant pirate cannon and Nazis explode into little red chunks.

        The basic assault rifle makes such a clear crack sound, like an H&K rifle and now that I'm typing this that was probably the idea. That the future Nazis created a parallel universe H&K.

        Yeah it was a fun nazi killing simulator, but otherwise felt meh, not the first time I've heard the first is better.

    More proof of what being "apolitical" actually is 95% of the time.
