I... think you forgot to publish the whole post? The middle part that actually looks at the characters seems to be missing.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Captain America.  “So many people forget that the first country the Nazis invaded was their own.”

A little research goes a long way, Journalism is dead. Not sure why there is such a huge spin on a small free update.

I’m tired of making enemies out of empathy and understanding.

BF5 is just so strange to me. I’ve been playing it since launch - On one hand, I’ve had a lot of fun with it just because I enjoy Battlefield games at a core level of just running around shooting, vehicle carnage etc.. And I think the overall shooting and just “feel” is good. The maps are pretty good.

And so the victors write their own history.

You are correct in that Nazis should never ever be romanticized. That being said, just because you were in the German Army (basically forced conscription during WWII) does not mean you were a Nazi. The distinction applies to the SS. One of the best historical books that touches on this topic would be Christopher…

This. Just to reiterate. Not every German soldier was a Nazi, or someone that particularly liked Hitler. Boys and men were killed on both sides simple because one psycho wanted to rule the world. Fuck the actual Nazis though.

I agree, this mission seemed like it was trying to be like “Das Boot” in that it showed fanatical Nazis as well as regular Germans who were drafted into the war, all on a nearly hopeless mission and brought together by a captain trying to keep every German alive that he could, regardless of ideology. There really was…

This game you’re playing of who “deserves” sympathy more doesn’t interest me. I’m perfectly capable of being sympathetic to the horrible experiences encountered by people who enact further horrible experiences on others without condoning the actions that arise from their trauma, and I’m not sure why you view sympathy…

The thrust of this article is hopelessly flawed. No, not every person fighting for the Germans in WWII was a Nazi. That’s like saying every soldier currently fighting for America is a Republican. The story you’re criticizing draws those lines itself. Almost every assassination attempt against Hitler was carried out by…

I think the most interesting part of the Polygon article is here-

Battlefield V’s campaign tries to argue that WWII had very fine people on both sides

I just want to point out that there was also literally an article just like an hour ago about how a food critic should have done the research to know the restaurateur he was writing about had committed domestic violence, yet their very next article was a story about how a clothing company doesn’t have plus size…

The fire damage was $8 million, the restitution is only $220K. Gizmodo has a better story on it.

Counterpoint: you can really fuck some good scotch up by mixing them wrong

I used to knock my cigarette ashes into a can of Miller Lite if there wasn't an ashtray available. This is pretty much the same thing.

Good.
