As the first born of a set of twins, I can confirm that my twin will always be known as my younger brother.

I’d take an awful lot less issue with the game if one of the central creators had not rushed onto the Internet stage declaring that there were no persons of color in the area at the time.

Simply saying, “Look, most of the historical evidence we have indicates that there would have been a largely homogenous culture in…

The term “Moor” in the very source you cite is often used to describe a person who is “black, ‘swarthy,’ or ‘tawny’ in skin color.”

That’s a kind of rabbit hole argument, though.

And I appreciate the vote of confidence.

I’m not perfect. I’m just as likely to have my head up my ass on any given topic as the next person is—but I hope I’m becoming a little more thoughtful as middle age sets in.

Wait for it:

What makes it even worse is the general public has a near complete lack of understanding about historical accuracy. Our understanding of history is, by and large, shaped by fiction set in those time periods, not an actual reading of history. I hear people bitch about historical accuracy all the time and then go on to…

Ya know what? Thank you for taking the time to wade into these comment sections for as long as you have. I appreciate your voice in these types of topics. I hope you are able to instill a fraction of your values on kotaku readers.

You separate creator from content because it benefits you. All the flavor, none of the sugar. It’s your choice. Some people can’t separate creator from content and have no interest in doing it.

We’re talking about the people who say Black Panther (the movie set in Africa) is racist because it mostly has black actors, and who invented fake incidents with imaginary black people beating up imaginary white people for no reason, when that movie got out - mostly because they sure love victimizing themselves (even…

because it says that Nazis are bad. Also it uses the word nazis, which is just a code-word for talking about american conversatives. Also, the entire game is basically a thinly veiled personal attack on trump - Some people i saw on the internet.

...the SJW game Wolfenstein...

It’s an opinion piece, appended to a blog that often features opinion pieces.

The primary divide between this opinion piece and others on larger, more prominent platforms (looking at you, Cillizza) is that Nathan took the time to break down the primary components of the controversy, to explain why each side feels the…

“historical revisionism” claims from the guy who was presented with actual historical documents and essentially shouted “Fake News” and ran away? Lol K.

“The budget was a fraction of that spent on the SJW game Wolfenstein...”

Vavra is a fucking bigot and doesn’t deserve anywhere near this nuanced of a dissection. And you should be sainted for approaching this so academically, Nathan, given your place in the pantheon of GamerGate’s weird obsessions.

that sounds like it would be really fun.

Ass men: still pariahs in 2018. Who will speak for the trees [ass men]?

America will import and appropriate everything about a country and culture except its people.
