The CEO of Deconstructive Criticism said he did like the Polish Defence League's page, but he was only doing to get news stories. This, I'm sure, is perfectly harmless - much like following the BNP's mailing list for their excellent baking recipes, or following the Aryan Nation on Facebook for their excellent coverage of baseball matches.

They may be a known hate-organization that goes on anti-semitic rallies, often with the 'roman salute' in full glory, but they also happen to be very keen journalists with bleeding edge coverage of the most important world issues.

I mean, the mainstream media wouldn't DREAM of posting incisive commentary like this:



Mainly because it's loving mental and racist

You were gone for that long and that's the best you've got for the claim 'It was made by Neo-Nazis'?

Did one of the devs write that comment and make that infographic?

One of them makes really good schwarmas but runs planes into buildings and kills 130 kids in a school according to DnD and the other one makes fun games like the Dreidel game but also blows up kids and stuff also according to DnD so this is really important to know which or both they hate?

I think my least favorite thing about the game is the visual design, specifically the lack of colors beyond "black, white and red". Also it looks very repetitive to play.

Like if it was good mechanically and they just went balls out and said" yeah man you can murder the gently caress out of piles of people who can't fight back and we're gonna let you mod in whatever you want so if you want to enact whatever fucktarded death fantasy you want go for it" and enabled an open SDK with steam workshop support I could at least see it having a market beyond people who buy it and never play it or people who buy it to gift it as a joke ala Bad Rats.

But no. It's gonna suck really bad and probably won't even have an open SDK so that people can go blow up "group with X skin tone wearing Y hat with Z sexual preferences" which while lovely would at least give it some sort of staying power. Nope. It's a flash in the pan. A sad sad little pan.

It would also be kinda funny if they had an SDK and steam workshop so that we could see what kind of dumb poo poo people put up there but we're denied even that.

It's more than just the CEO.

-Gameplay designer Jakub Stychno is a supporter of the fascistic Obóz Narodowo Radykalny, as well as the homophobic, nationalistic Młodzież Wszechpolska.

-FX artist Marcin Kaźmierczak is also a supporter of Młodzież Wszechpolska, and of several anti-social justice, anti-gay Facebook pages. (Including a right-wing boycott of a Polish boxer who supports gay rights.)

-Level designer and lighting artist Cyprian Listowski has another job as a tattoo designer; two of his original designs include symbolism commonly associated with right-wing groups. One depicts a sonnenrad, a sunwheel symbol popular among Neo-Nazis. The other incorporates a słoneczko (an Early Slavic variation on the swastika appropriated by nationalists) and an “othala rune”, framed within a larger “life rune”.

If it was just the CEO it could be an easy mistake, but all 4 guys have some (at least online) association with hate groups. I'm not going to stretch that to claim they're Neo Nazis, but they're definitely fans of groups I wouldn't want to support in any way.

I'm sure he was truly looking for world news stories, which is why he decided to associate himself with a group that has been patrolling Polish nightclubs to stop Muslim men talking to Women.

quote:

“In the space of one evening, in hundreds of places across the country, incidents occur involving the seduction of our female compatriots,” the league claims. “This is a fight for the future of our country and our women,” the PLO claims.

They do have some innovation, I guess. They managed to condense the 14 words into 13. That's something.

If I might make a suggestion to the CEO in the future, maybe he could be better informed about world events by following a non-Racist organization. The BBC for example, usually have excellent coverage.

- claiming one of them once liking something on an extremist news facebook page or something (and since unliking as I understand it even) is comparable to being a Hitler Fanboy. Also, Ddraig, you can point at what tangentially related third party said all day, it doesn't mean the person you are trying to link it to is a supporter of it. Have you ever liked anything someone you didn't know like your own kin said? What if they also said things you didn't know they said that were bad?

I'd assume you'd want something that hasn't been posted on Tumblr since that's usually not actually considered valid by most people. To each their own, I guess.

Another fun fact about the National Radical Camp, which these people are associated with, is that they are also involved with anti-Jewish marches and the 'roman salute'

Now lets have those people announce to everyone they know how you are X. Keep in mind that now you are guilty of X, so anything you say in your defense is inadmissible because you're a filthy X'ist.

That dude who threatened to kill Gabe also posted a retraction of that sentiment. As far as I'm aware he wasn't actually thinking of killing Gabe, it was just a very unfortunate slip up where he accidentally typed words to that effect, much like you might make the perfectly innocent mistake of liking a far-right fascist organization while looking for news.
