Thanks. I never knew it was called the swashtica

Also lmao. All that waffle about why they didn't use the swastika, and then they like this comment?

The video is so wrong in so many levels i just don't know where to begin. Like, the idea of antagonism in between PVP focused games went straight over their heads. i'm really wondering what do they have to say about people that make historical recreations and chose to roleplay as nazis. they must think they're the fucking devil or something.

Also i like how they put Rainbow 6 siege as en example when their characters iirc have their own morals lorewise. fucking up the point they're trying to make. i think their perfect game would be making something like a pvp carebear game where you have to give hugs to every player and everyone wins more or less depending of how many hugs they gave to people. i don't see other way to cater to their shenanigans.

Well.....

Came to check up on this on their latst video.
The idiocy of it is on another level on this one, and I saw the "we are running out of internet" video.

Arent most of the characters in nu rainbow a bunch of psychopaths with 1000000 confirmed kills anyways?

 

[Oaat]

Imagine if every historical war game forced you to play as the scientifically measured objectively pure and good side.

 

[KittyGremlin]

Wow, they beat the record for their dumbest video.

Let's face it, they treat video quality like a game of limbo.

 

[BubbleButt]

Eh thats not really the case, if you search extra credits that video pops up first
Also because they made a 'controversial' video, various you-tubers like quater pounder with cheese made response videos this made more people watch the video (even some who may have not even heard of them).
It seems to be working as their video has more views than some of their other videos uploaded a few days ago and it has only been around 1 day.

That's because it's trending right now, give it another day or two.

Imagine an alternate world where the Nazis won and Extra Credits is upset that WWII games let you play as the Americans.

 

[Imnotretardedimjustme]

You know maybe we should ask some Estonians what they feel about WW2. Or some Ukranian Banderists. You see a lot of appeals to a prioristic assumption of heer soldats = bad that just isn't as present in other areas of the world. Parts of the Ukrainian population were very happy when the Grenadiers rolled in and broke the bars on their churches. Estonians chose to throw in with the Germans to attempt to maintain their independence. The grey jackbooted yahtzees were people who often either had voted for the current german regime or whose families had. The iron cross and the stahlhelm may have different meanings in different regions beyond historical atrocities that have been elevated to religious levels of importance. Just a thought.

I also find the "if your WW2 game isn't 100% realistic down to every pebble in the bocage, it isn't accurate at all therefore scrub all the friendship windmills" line of thinking kind of bizarre. Like bruh, have you read any period memiors? Nobody remembers exact stuff from firefights and some notable people who get cited a lot straight up made stuff up.

Im friends with tones of those "nordic" niggers/ half slavs and all of them are really proud of thier grandparents fighting with the nazis in ww2. It was a defense of their homelands against the ruskies.

My grandparents uncles also fought in the war but on the "right side" so to speak. They didn´t do it to protect freedom or any kind of shit like that. The american army just paid so fucking well that they could live like kings when they got back home.

Im rather curious tho whats their opinion about fighting for the wrong side with the right intention or the right side with the wrong intention?

 

[FitBitch]

Also I think it would be pretty interesting if a game explored a sympathetic nazi in a WW2 setting. Someone who didn't exactly want to be a nazi and just had to do so or someone who starts out enthusiastic only to become more and more disillusioned from the nazi ideals. That sounds like a pretty compelling story especially in video game form. So we're just meant to avoid placing the player in a situation where they might feel bad? Players should only feel positivity from games at all times? No game should challenge your preconceptions? We shouldn't see things from another point of view? The only valuable view is the norm?

I think you're looking for the book "All the Light We Cannot See" the character Werner joins the Nazi military to avoid an adult life in a coal mine. He was an orphan boy seeking a better life for him and his sister and was an enthusiastic soldier who over time gets disillusioned. In the beginning of the story he has nothing and when National Socialism sweeps Germany he notes that he has new shoes on his feet and food on the table.

It's a pretty good read.

 

[Jack Awful]

Well just the title of the new vid is complete cancer so the contents aren't exactly shocking. It's your typical "Why would you EVER want to play a BAD person in a video game" sentiment that I've heard before. Again.. Is this really an actual problem or are they just making shit up? How many people have actually complained about playing as nazis or terrorists in multiplayer games. I somehow doubt that there are people who suddenly start thinking genocide is super cool after playing a nazi a few times.

There are thousands of games in which you play a morally dark character so why is it only a problem if it's a nazi? It's okay to play GTA and just destroy the city for your own gain but playing a nazi is just too far for some reason?

It's pathetic. I've always thought EC had some shit opinions on video games but this one really takes the cake and then bakes a couple more to steal for good measure. Garbage.

They'd hate it and claim it was made by Nazis to normalize Naziism.

For all the talk of "games as art" they espouse, they REALLY don't want games that challenges the player's worldview...

I've gone through about three separate drafts for a response but the only real reason for it is that they're narrow-minded idiots.
With how much nuance and detail is available to us through today's internet, you can't "sum up" World War 2 and especially not if you don't actually give a shit about it. They have so many sources but have no desire to invest time into actually understanding it.
I almost wonder if they're trying to piss off people on purpose, a la journalism, to get "hate clicks" even though that doesn't work well at all on YouTube.

 

[Jack Awful]

Another thing I love is that they're saying that even if the team isn't called the Nazis in-game, if you're playing as a German soldier during WWII, you're a Nazi.

It's great because games like Call of Duty and Battlefield have recently gone out of their way to remove Naziism from the playable German teams, saying "They aren't Nazis! They're the Wehrmacht!", which pissed off history buffs and the anti-SJW crowd.

So all that pandering didn't do shit, and now everyone's pissed at the devs.

I feel like they added the "and terrorists!" part as an afterthought to try to appeal to the right wing crowd. Like they thought that the word terrorist would activate the same kind of instinctual hatred in Trump voters the way the word Nazi does with them.

[SpergPatrol]

This logic is so broken if really imagery can cause nazism then all the horror games, dramas, etc should have inspired more murder than the holocaust by this point

Nah, my theory's that one of the creators themselves (or maybe some dangerhair they're friends with) complained about the time they had to play as a nazi in a pvp vidya game. So they gave it a big thunk as for how to do away with that, hence, this awful video.

Exactly. So, they shoehorned the "also terrorists" part into the already-completed script to try to get more people to agree with them and seem less agenda-driven.

They only mention terrorists like once in passing, and after, all the examples of indoctrination websites and desensitization iconography only reference Nazis.

 

[Raiken]

I like how they talk about the iron cross like it was a nazi only thing. For a channel that also dips into history it sure is baffeling they did not know this or checked it.

 

[Revo]

iron cross had persist to exist since 19th century(ex.:usage of iron cross in ww1,otto von bismark's reign).
