Actually, Machine Games did. Id didn't develop the recent Wolfenstein games, so Id is free to have its own messages in its own games.erttheking said:Id Software made games where Nazis where their race policies were front and center and worked with the KKK.
Not that I think it's equating refugees to demons, but it wouldn't technically be a reversal from Wolfenstein if it was.
Actually, I have to disagree there too.The only parody going on is the UEC being so greedy that it lets literal demons onto Earth to make money while spewing out corporate mouthspeak to try and BS people. You know. The same thing that happened in the last game.
The UAC wasn't "greedy" in Doom 2016, it was using argent energy to provide power for Earth. I'm sure it was paid handsomly for that, but energy is a global need. The Doom Slayer thoughtlessly destroying the conduits likely doomed millions - you could argue that it was to save billions, but robbing a planet of its energy source is going to have reprecussions.
Likewise, the PA. I also doubt it's the UAC trying to BS people, at least in the sense of them being, again, greedy. It struck me as either demons having somehow hijacked the system, or corrupted UAC members doing it. You don't make money when everyone's dead.
You do realize that logic could be applied to any group, right?Addendum_Forthcoming said:People have more reasons than not to hate on 'whitey'. They keep causing problems.
Islam keeps causing problems for instance, and it's causing problems across at least three continents. Doesn't mean we should start saying "we have more reasons than not to hate Muslims," because it's a gross oversimplification of the problem Islamism/Washabism presents.
It's the Saudis who are blockading Yemen, so I doubt any of us are going to overthrow them anytime soon.How about you start overthrowing politicians that cause mass Yemeni starvation through blockading their ports and throwing guns at Saudis before pretending that people might not appreciate the political dimensions at the 'homefront' for good reasons?
Also, if you're referring to the US selling arms to Saudi Arabia, that's true, but the majority of outside influence in Yemen is coming from Middle Eastern countries, not to mention the presence of groups such as ISIS.
I really have no idea.ebalosus said:Second: WTF does "Western Masculinity" even mean in this day and age?
I mean, is Doom "masculine?" Well, yeah, sure, but I don't get what's "Western" about it. Killing demons isn't exactly something that only Westerners could get behind.
