I find it very amusing how the marketing campaign for
the new Wolfenstein game has been triggering American alt-righters. It shows how universal the disposition to be easily offended has become.

Anti-Nazi. Fair enough. Pro communist though?

Allying with commies to defeat nazis?
What a novel idea...

If you say so. Personally I think it's hilarious that the main character, B-something-witz, a Jew, is helping spread communism again through the help of his black allies.

Perhaps they should put a trigger warning on it.
"Trigger Warning This game contains scenes of excessive violence directed towards nazis which may be triggering to alt-right snowflakes."
followed by
"No actual nazis were hurt during the making of this game."

Actually they removed the Nazi symbols for being triggering. The bad guys are just called the party or something.

Wait. Hold up. The main character is a Jew who spreads communism to America and kills Nazis in America?
If that's true, Alt-Right are going to have a blast with it. Total backfire.
That's a terrible idea. That's something the Alt-right would actually write.

They removed Nazi symbols from Wolfenstein. The original Nazi shooter. Launch the missile, Kim.
