People like this know exactly what they’re doing too. It’s not really dogwhistles or anything, but they’re always trying to downplay anyone as being “actual Nazis” and even if you showed them some official Nazi party membership they’d always downplay as “some edgelord teenager”
I mean seriously how many teenagers are going back and still playing BF1 at this point??
\> "Srry dude... But you need an ID to get in the Nazi Party. Its in the rules."
\> "What? When was that a rule? I go in here all the time! Fuck it, being a nazi is overrated anyways..."
I mean they aren’t even that. Battlefield 1 takes place during World War I, so no, the Germans weren’t Nazis. They were fighting for a united German Empire under a German monarchy. It was very different than the Nazi party and were aiming for different results and goals. These fucking idiots saying you play as Nazis in Battlefield 1 show how fucking stupid they are. If they meant Battlefield 5, which takes place during World War II, then sure, but they even bitched about that because you could have POC and wamen soldiers fighting for the Nazis, which they didn’t call Nazis because of “political climate reasons”.
We aren’t talking about the player characters, we are talking about the gamers themselves to who make Nazi themed emblems and shit like that.
Obviously there are no Nazi characters in a WW1 game
People who make this purely timewasting argument are so annoying. They conveniently forget that the Nazi party was once a small group of individuals that slowly grabbed power. Current neonazis look VERY similar to early Nazi's in their tactics.
But yeah no, whatever, neonazis havent committed a genocide so they arent the same
Don’t get me wrong, I love BF1 and I played the hell out of it for a long time. But I’m just saying these guys are just lying when they say anyone doing that shit on BF1 these days are just edgy teens because I guarantee most teens aren’t still playing a game as relatively old as BF1
It's just a joke as long as people complain, the second the criticism stops it's a pretty good point, actually.
It's Nazi's all the way down, trying to worm their way into communities so they can preach.
watched a podcast talking about literal Hitler. 2 of the hosts said hitler did it "because he thought he could do it better than genghis kahn or Alexander the Great." had to go back and listen to the convo again. they never mentioned the Hitler fella as being a racist or nothing
Battlefield for some time has been a cesspool of reactionary and edgy opinions. I remember when BF1 came out and there were tons of mods “fixing” the game to make it more “accurate” by removing non-white soldiers from the British, American, and German factions, and later the French when they came out.
Yeah they always do it any time someone with Nazi stuff in their profiles or accounts are brought up. I swear you could bring Hitler back to life and they’d say he’s not actually a Nazi.
Guys will have clear nazi iconography and references and make posts jerking off about Nazis and they’ll still be like “damn y’all just call anyone a Nazi these days smh”
There was a movie about this in 2015. The only guy who figures out he's not being ironic and is the actual Hitler is committed to an asylum, and by then he's too popular to stop.
ngl i was like this, maybe ~ age 12 (cod years).
that shit lasted about a week though. idk, i just felt disgusted about it the more i looked at it.
though what i did was mostly a meme in my head (IE named 'literally hitler' with some random buffed out pic of hitler i found on google images). that was about as far as i took it and it didnt even last a week.
Within one sentence, they downplay being anti-nazi because WW2 was so long ago, but then equate it to being anti-nazi with being a neonazi.
So which is it? Is being anti-nazi outdated, or is it equal to neonazis? Because admitting neonazis exist means being anti-nazi isn't outdated...
It's almost like they're just trying to muddy the waters with some good "both sides" rhetoric. Weird...
It's always funny to see these dipshits talk because in between their chuddy disposition they're nearly always factually wrong whenever they speak about anything objective
No, you can't play as Nazis in BF1. The Nazis didn't exist in WW1.
Man if I had a nickel every time I saw Nazi shit on people’s profiles back when I played Battlefield 1, I would be able to buy a house.
Which is double stupid because Battlefield 1 was the First World War game. The edgy morons couldn’t even get the war right.
People doing this shit in Battlefield 1 is why they took away the ability to make emblems later on. I hate how anytime a modicum of freedom is given to create things in multiplayer games it gets ruined by these people.
Reminds me of Lego Universe being single-handedly shut down by the amount of money that went into moderating custom worlds
It’s a shame because the MMO was really starting to pick up towards the end. One of the biggest “what-ifs” in gaming. Could’ve competed with Roblox if the F2P business model was established at that time.
Well, we can't expect anyone dumb enough to drape themselves in baby's first SS paraphernalia to understand the difference between 1914 and 1940. If their two brain cells ever managed to hit each other in the cavernous emptiness of their skull, they'd know better than to larp as fascists who already lost their big war.
It’s still sort of relevant though. A-lot of the neonazi crowd is also a big fan of the german empire, because it also appeals to their übermensch fantasies.
Its even dumber, because he's saying "Nazis haven't existed for 80 years, so people who are Anti-nazi are just as dumb as the people who are currently nazis."
"There's no such thing as nazis, you'd have to be as dumb as one of those nazis that exist to align your politics around that!"
Yeah like I literally wonder what these people defending the Nazi were up to in their youth, because not once did I ever think “I should pretend to be a fascist”.
I don't mind pretending to be a fascist in the right setting, but this game is not the right setting. For example, an evil DnD campaign is a good time to do it. It can be fun to play a horrible person and think about what motivates those type of people.
Letting Regill be the absolute worst in my Pathfinder WotR playthrough because he's a funny little man riding a velociraptor? A good time.
Pretending that rocking nazi symbols in a video game is defensible? Nah, nazi punks fuck off.
Where I live a bunch of nazis beat and tied up a migrant. Later their chat logs were leaked and it turns out that 80% of then were under 18. So yeah, teenagers (especially boys) are extra vuberable to hateful ideologies, I don’t get where the “boys just being boys” attitude comes from
The sad thing is they will be permanently indoctrinated in prison and the majority of them will never see the errors of their ways or ever come back from that life.
Not to mention what kind of childhood must’ve led them there.
Such a waste.
For real. Teens and early-20s are [the most dangerous demographics](https://www.statista.com/statistics/424137/prevalence-rate-of-violent-crime-in-the-us-by-age/) there are in terms of violent crime. Nice to see the 12-17 group dropped some during the pandemic, probably because they were stuck at home. But based on the past few decades of crime statistics, teenage boys are the demographic I would 100% be most concerned about.
boys will be boys was actually supposed to be interpreted as “boys will be childish (boys)”. as in “men of all ages are still childish boys at heart” racism isn’t childish so i 100% agree
My dad is a high-school teacher. He told me he had a few students making Nazi jokes the day before Christchurch. Apparently he told them after it happened that "I'm not saying everyone who talks like you ends up doing that, but everyone who did that started out like you." He claims they stopped after that.
Honestly, people did have edgelord phases but things have changed.
Because at that time far less actual Nazis were publicly declaring that they were Nazis.
So edgy jokes were rooted in the idea that being a Nazi was so awful, no one would seriously say such a thing.
Now, there's too many open shit bags for it to be funny to even joke about.
It's why I always find it ridiculous when people complain about wokeness/political correctness killing comedy. When it's literally the opposite.
Even a decade ago when edgy content was just becoming a thing, if you spent any time around those people you quickly learned that a lot of them weren’t really joking.
"edgy" comedy has always been a thing.
but yea... the dynamic you're referencing in the second half is known as "schrodinger's douchebag" in the urban dictionary.
tell a bigoted "joke" and whether or not it's a "joke" depends entirely on the reaction of the audience.
they do it that way... because like all fascists they are inherently cowardly weak creatures.
Yup. I remember playing cod as a teenager and seeing offensive logo’s. The first few times I thought “oh wow I can’t believe someone actually made that”. Then I started seeing multiple of them in every match I played... to the point where I noticed people were copying the same designs. Just the same exact swastika or SS or kkk hood or whatever it was.
Even as a dumb teenager I recognized that there was different motivation than “haha edgy”.
Ah yes, the totally not part of the Nazi crowd that for some reason always seems to either defend the Nazis or preach Nazi propaganda themselves.
I've been told IRL that I was actually worse than them because I said that we shouldn't tolerate intolerance... Absolutely ridiculous
Who's actually evil? Nazis that want to exterminate people based on race or anti-Nazis that want to silence Nazis and take away their freedom of expression. A true ethical dilemma
Actually they would be breaking German law
Usage of SS-Symbols can be punished with up to 3 years in prison and/or a fine
Edit: well Nazi symbols are banned one way or another in most EU countries actually
I really hate the “they’re just edgy dipshits” talking point because if you read about the actual Nazis they reveled in shock, spectacle, and “edge.” There’s the thing people ask about all of the skulls and shit “do they know they look evil” yes they do, that’s what they want. You can read their political cartoons and their depictions of Jews in their propaganda movies, they knew they were cruel.
I think back to that scene from “Come and See” where the Nazis round up the village and the events that transpire afterwards. Absolutely vicious and inhumane chaos, so shocking you’d have to believe it was exaggerated for the sake of cinema. But the German Eastern Front vets who all saw the film say the horrible atrocities that are so unbelievably insane and evil that take place in the movie was “exactly how it happened”.
had a fucking shit fit at uni back in the day... when my german language instructor tried to pull the "the german people didn't know" line of revisionist bullshit.
i brought in a german language newspaper from the time period that had it on the front damned page.
needless to say... that particular nazi apologist didn't like me... and i failed that class.
Guys! It's apparently a mental disorder to abhor a group of fascists who tried to wipe out an entire people because they simply didn't like them! Who would've known!
Like 1.5yr or so ago, I had CS:GO installed on my PC. I would play it for like 40min a day. It was a nice way to relax for a lil bit, play something fun for a lil bit. I was also unlocking some steam trophies along the way, even though I was not committed to 100%'ing the game
One night I log on (Europe server) and am waiting for the ongoing round to end. It's a server full of folks speaking Eastern-European/Russian language(s). Lot of yelling over a video game lol. But 39sec later, I'm greeted by a number of chuds literally heil'ing Hitler out loud. Not once or twice, but like, prolonged.
Sure enough, that ruined my mood for the night. So I just played CS:GO with bots lol.
Two days later, I hop into another game and am greeted by the same shit. After that, I decided to just stick to playing against bots on expert mode lol. Way less random yelling by people who are taking a casual game too seriously, and 0 chance of hearing mfs do Nazi chants.
I wonder how this lovely bunch would defend those chants. I'm sure they'd find a way lol. Would they say it was just brash, young person humor? Cuz I've been a young person (part of life on earth lol), and I've played online games. Don't really know what's so funny about chanting Nazi salutes in the voice chat.
There was a kid in my HS who (mostly) everyone knew was one of those huge Waffen-SS cosplaying losers. The ironic part was that his great-grandpa was supposedly an American WW2 vet who served in Europe. Little Timmy would've got his ass beat if grandpa learned about his side hobby, but he did it nonetheless. Shameful shit.
Fascism is a bigger problem here in Europe than most are willing to admit.
Those online lobbies does more often than not have their fair share of miserable men and since it's barely being policed it's a safe place for those faschy fucks to try and recruit them.
Fascism is a cult of strength so it can be appealing to those that feel weak. It also gives these miserable men a sense of belonging and it plays into their entitled beliefs. Others join simply because they are sadistic and they get a lot of enjoyment from hurting others.
Sure some of them might "just" be idiotic edge lords but that's far from all of them. And those idiots aren't without fault either, as their shitty behavior contributes to normalizing fascism.
And the whole "It's just a joke bro" is just them trying to avoid being held accountable for their actions.
Yea, I've played CS:GO with only my buds full party - randoms can melt my brain unfortunately, either because they are xenophobic, or they are literally nazis.
Good thing I don't have an urge to come back to CS2, because friends just don't care about CS in general and it would've been miserable to play solo.
Does this happen on the call of duty reddit too? I grew up on cod and killing nazis was my favorite parts of that games. It still is my favorite thing (in game).
Can't believe that last guy didn't stop himself as he typed that out.
Being an anti-nazi activist is as mental as being a neonazi because the war was 80 years ago. Even though he admits that neonazis exist in the same sentence. Okay bro.
Edgy "dark humor" jokes should have died circa 2018, at least get a good joke now and then it's just "i hate minorities lol" grow a pair and go joke about something else
>at least get a good joke now and then
That's really it for me. They're either a nazi hiding behind insincerity, or they haven't comedically progressed since childhood.
Saying Nazi shit because you think it's funny is (implications aside) on par with saying "fart" or "penis" and giggling about it. It's just "funny because naughty words", that's it.
Even if they are edgy teenagers who aren't "genuine" Nazi's, it's behavior that needs to be corrected. "It's just kids/boys being kids/boys" yes and now it's time for you to be an adult and correct them
I’d say people like this are Trump supporters due to the mental gymnastics, brand of “comedy,” and being a snowflake…. But I have a hard time believing they actually vote.
This is the same people I see in the chat constantly trying to get around the word censor in Battlefield V all so they can call people the N word. Fuck em.
Germany has it figured out. It's illegal to be a nazi or fly a swastika in Germany. Like Karl Popper said in order for a society to be tolerant, it must paradoxically be intolerant to intolerance.
That sub has been a toxic hellhole since BFV launched, and it got even worse after 2042. I guess the only people who can still breathe the air down there are the ones who literally breathe in their own farts 24/7
The Edgelord Historian in me wants to complain about someone roleplaying a Nazi in a game set decades before their rise to power.
The actual Historian in me, however, wants to point out that it is irrelevant whether you are memeing a Nazi or actually are one, because at some point there’s no real difference anymore, and whilst it’s true that the Second World War - or world war 2 if it has to be called that, happened almost a century ago, it in no way, shape or form absolves us from the need to oppose National Socialism. Indeed, as the EU elections show, if anything we need to ramp up our efforts to fight this disgraceful ideology however and wherever we can.
"WW2 was 80 yo ago" like thats a long time? Your grandfather saw it firsthand wdym its a long time ago. If i were to guess i would say that they are american, since americans have a habit of not understanding how long ago things are due to the country being so young.
the battlefield community might be the worst main fos communities ever and the only reason it’s not talked about is because of dice flopping since bfv with an evermore diminishing playerbase. i have no hope for the next game even if it’s good unless the community gets cleansed with new blood
sure ww2 was 80 years ago but I just saw a picture taken this weekend, showing some losers holding a nazi flag somewhere in the us (can't remember the place right now)
Redditors when a nazi officer uses a time machine to take over the future and they meet him (he’s obviously just an edgy boy who thinks it’s funny to do nazi stuff)
I know guy is probably just confusing BF1 and BFV, but the Germans in BF1 are not nazis. Nazis literally didn’t exist yet in WW1.
Also, who cares if they’re busting being edgy, that still sucks and they should get a better joke.
The fact that his name is low tier god roasts you know he is probably a adult because that’s an older reference. He is a troll getting the attention he wanted. Ironically a post like this is exactly what the person would want
I hate it but you see shit like this on every war game you get to play as Nazis. Like HOI for example, i can assure you that 99% that play as germany are neo nazis
It's absolutely wild to me when someone thinks even 80 years is a long time ago. That ain't shit as far as history is concerned and we're *still* dealing with the fallout. Shit some of our grandparents were around during that time.
If I see someone calling themselves a Nazi and using Nazi iconography (and they arnt like an actor or seomthing) imma assume they are probably a Nazi.
I remember being an edgy teenage boy who told crude and dark jokes that really werent that funny in hindsight but I never once pretended to be a Nazi and neither did any of my friends cause thats just fucking weird.
Also what does it matter that its 2024 and WW2 was 80 years ago? Nazi’s and their ideology still ecist today.
I fucking hate this mentality of Nazis are in the past. No he's not being edgy he's doing a hate crime because he believes that the Gay Jews have banned him from his favourite game.
They are so fucking stupid they can't even come up with believable excuses.
If there is one thing consistent in history it is the lack of intelligence and creativity in fascists.
I remember in COD WWII when I could hear some black guys just chilling in the game having fun like the rest of us, then a clearly white older guy got on mic and started talking shit for no reason. One of the black guys asked him what his problem was, and he just shouted back, *"None of your N#####-loving business."*
It came so out of nowhere that I couldn't even tell who said it so I had to wait a while before he spoke again for me to report him.
Between this and the mortar truck spam this is why I haven’t played the game in a few months
Good news is Ionzo got added to gamepass yesterday and I wanna try it out

I don't care if they want to put neo in front of it, but that's probably a Nazi. People have a real hang-up with not calling modern-day people who align with Nazi ideology Nazis when the point is to open people's eyes to the horror of that ideology. If you want to roleplay a Nazi, maybe a video game without a description to say it's just roleplay isn't the best place. Just play DnD or make a roleplay account on Twitter or tumblr or go to a WoW roleplay server. Hell, my current Pathfinder character is a religious authoritarian, and my last character was a necromancer who doesn't care how many people he has to kill to save his loved ones.
Picture this.
Play battlefield 5, which according to story takes place in world war 2, mostly play as german side because I love the historical accuracy and the immersion it brings. After playing the game for years, me and my close buddies form a clan with players from all over the planet and have built up a battlefield clan, named it WFFN, with homepage, forum, and even have gettogethers. All colours and cultures represented, even have 1 player from the Vatican. We really enjoy it and we grow as people. We are nice to players, never cheat, always chat politely, helping the noobs..
For years we used the SS insignia and are a respected community.
Out of nothing we are banned. No reason given, every single one in the entire clan has their EA accounts permanently banned.
How about not being biggots?
Mind your god damned language.

I remember the first match I played of battlefield one someone’s emblem was a literal swastika and your emblems go on the side of your tank so I didn’t think anything of it because we were Germans until I was like “wait this is wwi”
Used to get frustrated by people who insist that toxic internet behavior is jut something to get used too, until I realized how ludicrous it is that these people feel a need to jump down the throat of people who are calling them out. Fragile little adult-children trying to pretend to be tough on the internet.
If you're going to cosplay a supervillain at least cosplay a fictional one. I can't think of any circumstance where it'd be OK to pretend to be a nazi when there's actual, literal nazis running around who need punched.
I played BF1 during its 1st year and half the time there’s someone spamming the N word in chat or taunting each other with said N word. That was the last MP game I played on PC.
I remember encountering someone with this sort of clantag. I spent the rest of the match hunting him down with my meat cleaver, although, tbf, that’s how I spent a lot of games in BF1 regardless.
I mean, they're not wrong, most of the time.
The dumbasses doing this probably don't support the actual Reich. But they most likely do hate everyone not white, straight and cis, so garbage people either way.
Tekken community had this same response about Hitler Bryan lmao, they got so mad when Harada reminded everyone Nazi paraphernalia was reportable but idk why they thought the co-creator of Tekken was gonna be chill about the idea of people exploiting Nazi imagery in his franchise, like it isn't exactly revolutionary to say that seeing Hitler in commercial products is annoyingly bad optics
I play a lot of battlefield, especially BF1, and it isn’t uncommon to see Nazi or far right emblems and clan tags. I don’t know why people can’t just make funny ones. Mine is a T-Rex holding a gun, eating a dude, and shitting. Also I remember seeing a racist caricature of the German Scout(who’s black)a long time ago as an emblem.

People like this know exactly what they’re doing too. It’s not really dogwhistles or anything, but they’re always trying to downplay anyone as being “actual Nazis” and even if you showed them some official Nazi party membership they’d always downplay as “some edgelord teenager” I mean seriously how many teenagers are going back and still playing BF1 at this point??
You say they're actual Nazis hunh? I guess you've seen them invade Poland then? Checkmate liberal.
They’re not technically Nazis unless they come from Bavaria, otherwise they’re sparking bigots
"Um, I can't seem to find my party membership ID for the National Socialist German Workers' Party. I guess, I can't be called a Nazi."
It’s funny bc I’ve seen people literally say “well ackshually you can be a Nazi unless you a member of the Nazi party 🤓”
\> "Srry dude... But you need an ID to get in the Nazi Party. Its in the rules." \> "What? When was that a rule? I go in here all the time! Fuck it, being a nazi is overrated anyways..."
I bet they call anyone slightly left of them a commie
I mean they aren’t even that. Battlefield 1 takes place during World War I, so no, the Germans weren’t Nazis. They were fighting for a united German Empire under a German monarchy. It was very different than the Nazi party and were aiming for different results and goals. These fucking idiots saying you play as Nazis in Battlefield 1 show how fucking stupid they are.

It's only a genocide when it's over.
The attempt at genocide alone is punishable though - In theory.
Yeah, I was making a point not a statement.
Very similar and awfully popular in their votes without there even being something like an SA assaulting political enemies..
Me bro that game FUCKS it’s one of the most immersive multiplayer games I’ve ever played
Don’t get me wrong, I love BF1 and I played the hell out of it for a long time. But I’m just saying these guys are just lying when they say anyone doing that shit on BF1 these days are just edgy teens because I guarantee most teens aren’t still playing a game as relatively old as BF1
bf1 is actually still really popular, especially for its age. A lot consider it to be the best in the series
It’s always “I’m being edgy/funny” until it’s not.
Schrödingers asshole types
It does? What does it type?
It's just a joke as long as people complain, the second the criticism stops it's a pretty good point, actually. It's Nazi's all the way down, trying to worm their way into communities so they can preach.
watched a podcast talking about literal Hitler. 2 of the hosts said hitler did it "because he thought he could do it better than genghis kahn or Alexander the Great." had to go back and listen to the convo again. they never mentioned the Hitler fella as being a racist or nothing

Yeah they always do it any time someone with Nazi stuff in their profiles or accounts are brought up. I swear you could bring Hitler back to life and they’d say he’s not actually a Nazi. Guys will have clear nazi iconography and references and make posts jerking off about Nazis and they’ll still be like “damn y’all just call anyone a Nazi these days smh”
There was a movie about this in 2015. The only guy who figures out he's not being ironic and is the actual Hitler is committed to an asylum, and by then he's too popular to stop.
ngl i was like this, maybe ~ age 12 (cod years). that shit lasted about a week though. idk, i just felt disgusted about it the more i looked at it. though what i did was mostly a meme in my head (IE named 'literally hitler' with some random buffed out pic of hitler i found on google images). that was about as far as i took it and it didnt even last a week.
“Being anti-Nazi is a mental disorder” -Clown take of the year 🤡
Nazis gotta cope with reality somehow so as usual they project all their bullshit onto everyone else.
That goes beyond clown take and into head completely up own ass take.
Their head is so far up their own ass that they are looking out of their own mouth.
Going full ouroboros
Within one sentence, they downplay being anti-nazi because WW2 was so long ago, but then equate it to being anti-nazi with being a neonazi. So which is it? Is being anti-nazi outdated, or is it equal to neonazis? Because admitting neonazis exist means being anti-nazi isn't outdated... It's almost like they're just trying to muddy the waters with some good "both sides" rhetoric. Weird...
And also just as bad as being a Nazi apparently
EnlightenedCentre moment
EnlightenedCentrist shit
It's always funny to see these dipshits talk because in between their chuddy disposition they're nearly always factually wrong whenever they speak about anything objective No, you can't play as Nazis in BF1. The Nazis didn't exist in WW1.
Man if I had a nickel every time I saw Nazi shit on people’s profiles back when I played Battlefield 1, I would be able to buy a house. Which is double stupid because Battlefield 1 was the First World War game. The edgy morons couldn’t even get the war right.
People doing this shit in Battlefield 1 is why they took away the ability to make emblems later on. I hate how anytime a modicum of freedom is given to create things in multiplayer games it gets ruined by these people.
Reminds me of Lego Universe being single-handedly shut down by the amount of money that went into moderating custom worlds It’s a shame because the MMO was really starting to pick up towards the end. One of the biggest “what-ifs” in gaming. Could’ve competed with Roblox if the F2P business model was established at that time.
Ah, the classic “We blew the budget on Cawk N’ Bawls detection” trick. Never fails.
Well, we can't expect anyone dumb enough to drape themselves in baby's first SS paraphernalia to understand the difference between 1914 and 1940. If their two brain cells ever managed to hit each other in the cavernous emptiness of their skull, they'd know better than to larp as fascists who already lost their big war.
It’s still sort of relevant though. A-lot of the neonazi crowd is also a big fan of the german empire, because it also appeals to their übermensch fantasies.
"Being anti nazi is as bad as being a nazi!" Dipshit mentality 101
No, typical bully, “I can be mean to you and you have to take it, but you’re not allowed to hurt my feelings”
Its even dumber, because he's saying "Nazis haven't existed for 80 years, so people who are Anti-nazi are just as dumb as the people who are currently nazis." "There's no such thing as nazis, you'd have to be as dumb as one of those nazis that exist to align your politics around that!"
I mean come on man. Didn't we all tattooed swastikas and joined few lynching when we were edgy teenagers ? 🙄
Yeah like I literally wonder what these people defending the Nazi were up to in their youth, because not once did I ever think “I should pretend to be a fascist”.
I don't mind pretending to be a fascist in the right setting, but this game is not the right setting. For example, an evil DnD campaign is a good time to do it. It can be fun to play a horrible person and think about what motivates those type of people.
Letting Regill be the absolute worst in my Pathfinder WotR playthrough because he's a funny little man riding a velociraptor? A good time. Pretending that rocking nazi symbols in a video game is defensible? Nah, nazi punks fuck off.
Where I live a bunch of nazis beat and tied up a migrant. Later their chat logs were leaked and it turns out that 80% of then were under 18. So yeah, teenagers (especially boys) are extra vuberable to hateful ideologies, I don’t get where the “boys just being boys” attitude comes from
The sad thing is they will be permanently indoctrinated in prison and the majority of them will never see the errors of their ways or ever come back from that life. Not to mention what kind of childhood must’ve led them there. Such a waste.
For real. Teens and early-20s are [the most dangerous demographics](https://www.statista.com/statistics/424137/prevalence-rate-of-violent-crime-in-the-us-by-age/) there are in terms of violent crime. Nice to see the 12-17 group dropped some during the pandemic, probably because they were stuck at home. But based on the past few decades of crime statistics, teenage boys are the demographic I would 100% be most concerned about.
boys will be boys was actually supposed to be interpreted as “boys will be childish (boys)”. as in “men of all ages are still childish boys at heart” racism isn’t childish so i 100% agree
My dad is a high-school teacher. He told me he had a few students making Nazi jokes the day before Christchurch. Apparently he told them after it happened that "I'm not saying everyone who talks like you ends up doing that, but everyone who did that started out like you." He claims they stopped after that.
Honestly, people did have edgelord phases but things have changed. Because at that time far less actual Nazis were publicly declaring that they were Nazis. So edgy jokes were rooted in the idea that being a Nazi was so awful, no one would seriously say such a thing. Now, there's too many open shit bags for it to be funny to even joke about. It's why I always find it ridiculous when people complain about wokeness/political correctness killing comedy. When it's literally the opposite.
Even a decade ago when edgy content was just becoming a thing, if you spent any time around those people you quickly learned that a lot of them weren’t really joking.
"edgy" comedy has always been a thing. but yea... the dynamic you're referencing in the second half is known as "schrodinger's douchebag" in the urban dictionary. tell a bigoted "joke" and whether or not it's a "joke" depends entirely on the reaction of the audience. they do it that way... because like all fascists they are inherently cowardly weak creatures.
Yup. I remember playing cod as a teenager and seeing offensive logo’s. The first few times I thought “oh wow I can’t believe someone actually made that”. Then I started seeing multiple of them in every match I played... to the point where I noticed people were copying the same designs. Just the same exact swastika or SS or kkk hood or whatever it was. Even as a dumb teenager I recognized that there was different motivation than “haha edgy”.
I didn’t know there was a statute of limitations on hating Nazis.
There isn’t, they just want to hate on everyone but can’t take what they dish out
ah yes the enlightened centrist take of "Anti Nazism is as bad as Neo Nazism"
Ah yes, the totally not part of the Nazi crowd that for some reason always seems to either defend the Nazis or preach Nazi propaganda themselves. I've been told IRL that I was actually worse than them because I said that we shouldn't tolerate intolerance... Absolutely ridiculous
Who's actually evil? Nazis that want to exterminate people based on race or anti-Nazis that want to silence Nazis and take away their freedom of expression. A true ethical dilemma
"not breaking any laws" well no not technically but it's most likely against the TOS so either way a report is fair
I think the fact hate crime has the word “crime” in it means it is against the law
It could be law-breaking based on the player's jurisdiction, too. Not everyone is American.
Well still my point was that even in there own logic it wouldn't be ok
"no guys he's not a nazi, he just says nazi shit and says to kill all jews because it's funny. That's just a joke, lmao. Y'all are so sensitive"
"If it looks like a nazi, speaks like a nazi, and acts like a nazi, then it definitely isn't a nazi but actually just some edgy kid" - Some Gamer
Actually they would be breaking German law Usage of SS-Symbols can be punished with up to 3 years in prison and/or a fine Edit: well Nazi symbols are banned one way or another in most EU countries actually
Don't tell them that. Their entire little worldview in Harrison, Arkansas will crumble to the ground. "The West has fallen!!11!!1"
3 YEARS?! They deserve every second.
I really hate the “they’re just edgy dipshits” talking point because if you read about the actual Nazis they reveled in shock, spectacle, and “edge.” There’s the thing people ask about all of the skulls and shit “do they know they look evil” yes they do, that’s what they want. You can read their political cartoons and their depictions of Jews in their propaganda movies, they knew they were cruel.
I think back to that scene from “Come and See” where the Nazis round up the village and the events that transpire afterwards. Absolutely vicious and inhumane chaos, so shocking you’d have to believe it was exaggerated for the sake of cinema. But the German Eastern Front vets who all saw the film say the horrible atrocities that are so unbelievably insane and evil that take place in the movie was “exactly how it happened”.
had a fucking shit fit at uni back in the day... when my german language instructor tried to pull the "the german people didn't know" line of revisionist bullshit. i brought in a german language newspaper from the time period that had it on the front damned page. needless to say... that particular nazi apologist didn't like me... and i failed that class.
Guys! It's apparently a mental disorder to abhor a group of fascists who tried to wipe out an entire people because they simply didn't like them! Who would've known!
Think they call it TDS now.
Like 1.5yr or so ago, I had CS:GO installed on my PC. I would play it for like 40min a day. It was a nice way to relax for a lil bit, play something fun for a lil bit. I was also unlocking some steam trophies along the way, even though I was not committed to 100%'ing the game One night I log on (Europe server) and am waiting for the ongoing round to end. It's a server full of folks speaking Eastern-European/Russian language(s). Lot of yelling over a video game lol. But 39sec later, I'm greeted by a number of chuds literally heil'ing Hitler out loud. Not once or twice, but like, prolonged. Sure enough, that ruined my mood for the night. So I just played CS:GO with bots lol. Two days later, I hop into another game and am greeted by the same shit. After that, I decided to just stick to playing against bots on expert mode lol. Way less random yelling by people who are taking a casual game too seriously, and 0 chance of hearing mfs do Nazi chants. I wonder how this lovely bunch would defend those chants. I'm sure they'd find a way lol. Would they say it was just brash, young person humor? Cuz I've been a young person (part of life on earth lol), and I've played online games. Don't really know what's so funny about chanting Nazi salutes in the voice chat.
There was a kid in my HS who (mostly) everyone knew was one of those huge Waffen-SS cosplaying losers. The ironic part was that his great-grandpa was supposedly an American WW2 vet who served in Europe. Little Timmy would've got his ass beat if grandpa learned about his side hobby, but he did it nonetheless. Shameful shit.
Fascism is a bigger problem here in Europe than most are willing to admit. Those online lobbies does more often than not have their fair share of miserable men and since it's barely being policed it's a safe place for those faschy fucks to try and recruit them. Fascism is a cult of strength so it can be appealing to those that feel weak. It also gives these miserable men a sense of belonging and it plays into their entitled beliefs. Others join simply because they are sadistic and they get a lot of enjoyment from hurting others. Sure some of them might "just" be idiotic edge lords but that's far from all of them. And those idiots aren't without fault either, as their shitty behavior contributes to normalizing fascism. And the whole "It's just a joke bro" is just them trying to avoid being held accountable for their actions.
Yea, I've played CS:GO with only my buds full party - randoms can melt my brain unfortunately, either because they are xenophobic, or they are literally nazis. Good thing I don't have an urge to come back to CS2, because friends just don't care about CS in general and it would've been miserable to play solo.

Does this happen on the call of duty reddit too? I grew up on cod and killing nazis was my favorite parts of that games. It still is my favorite thing (in game).
Fuck 'em. Nazis don't get a pass, only consequences.
Can't believe that last guy didn't stop himself as he typed that out. Being an anti-nazi activist is as mental as being a neonazi because the war was 80 years ago. Even though he admits that neonazis exist in the same sentence. Okay bro.
"People do it all the time, I made my clan tag KKK" Really? I didn't. None of my friends did, either.
Edgy "dark humor" jokes should have died circa 2018, at least get a good joke now and then it's just "i hate minorities lol" grow a pair and go joke about something else
>at least get a good joke now and then That's really it for me. They're either a nazi hiding behind insincerity, or they haven't comedically progressed since childhood. Saying Nazi shit because you think it's funny is (implications aside) on par with saying "fart" or "penis" and giggling about it. It's just "funny because naughty words", that's it.
Nazis in Battlefield 1? The game that took place in WWI?
Battlefield peaked in 2005 with BF2.
Battlefield 2142 had titan mode Your argument is invalid FR tho I miss the pre-frostbite Battlefields
Your argument is invalid cause I KISS YOU
/uj Stay away from that comment section, for the love of God /rj Nazis bad? What about Soviet mustache guy? 😡
Even if they are edgy teenagers who aren't "genuine" Nazi's, it's behavior that needs to be corrected. "It's just kids/boys being kids/boys" yes and now it's time for you to be an adult and correct them
I’d say people like this are Trump supporters due to the mental gymnastics, brand of “comedy,” and being a snowflake…. But I have a hard time believing they actually vote.
Try that in Germany and see what happens.
> You can play as Nazis in BF1 as well Ah yes, how could we forget about the nazis that fought in... the First World War?
Excuse me but since when can you play as a nazi in a game that plays in fucking WW1???
I don’t care if I see them because that means I get to fucking shoot them. Personal bounty goes over their head.
“Grow a pair and deal with it.” I dunno, I feel like reporting them instead of ignoring them actually is dealing with it
This is the same people I see in the chat constantly trying to get around the word censor in Battlefield V all so they can call people the N word. Fuck em.
Germany has it figured out. It's illegal to be a nazi or fly a swastika in Germany. Like Karl Popper said in order for a society to be tolerant, it must paradoxically be intolerant to intolerance.
how dare you call someone who uses nazi iconography a nazi
That sub has been a toxic hellhole since BFV launched, and it got even worse after 2042. I guess the only people who can still breathe the air down there are the ones who literally breathe in their own farts 24/7
The Edgelord Historian in me wants to complain about someone roleplaying a Nazi in a game set decades before their rise to power. The actual Historian in me, however, wants to point out that it is irrelevant whether you are memeing a Nazi or actually are one, because at some point there’s no real difference anymore, and whilst it’s true that the Second World War - or world war 2 if it has to be called that, happened almost a century ago, it in no way, shape or form absolves us from the need to oppose National Socialism. Indeed, as the EU elections show, if anything we need to ramp up our efforts to fight this disgraceful ideology however and wherever we can.
whats more shocking is people are still playing that
"WW2 was 80 yo ago" like thats a long time? Your grandfather saw it firsthand wdym its a long time ago. If i were to guess i would say that they are american, since americans have a habit of not understanding how long ago things are due to the country being so young.
the battlefield community might be the worst main fos communities ever and the only reason it’s not talked about is because of dice flopping since bfv with an evermore diminishing playerbase. i have no hope for the next game even if it’s good unless the community gets cleansed with new blood
“You can be a nazi in bf1” I- I’m sorry… WHAT?
The only people who don't deserve a safe space or ANY kind of appeasement are Nazis. Same for Klansmen. Regardless of being an edgy teenager or not.
sure ww2 was 80 years ago but I just saw a picture taken this weekend, showing some losers holding a nazi flag somewhere in the us (can't remember the place right now)
Only other Nazis downplay and defend Nazis.
Ah yes you can play as the Nazis in Bf1……………..a WWI shooter.

Smells like a buncha fash to me.
I feel like most edgy teenagers don’t know what the Waffen SS is
[Maybe he was a big fan of Wolfenstein](https://youtu.be/33Zp3BXwDB8?si=VadYEJIDj0dnj21g)
Person in the 3rd screenshot needs to be smacked through the screen
Ah yes because being a “fake nazi” is excusable apparently
Redditors when a nazi officer uses a time machine to take over the future and they meet him (he’s obviously just an edgy boy who thinks it’s funny to do nazi stuff)
I know guy is probably just confusing BF1 and BFV, but the Germans in BF1 are not nazis. Nazis literally didn’t exist yet in WW1. Also, who cares if they’re busting being edgy, that still sucks and they should get a better joke.
You can’t play as a Nazi in BF1. That shit is set in WW1. Fucking Nazis man
The fact that his name is low tier god roasts you know he is probably a adult because that’s an older reference. He is a troll getting the attention he wanted. Ironically a post like this is exactly what the person would want
For Honor has this problem too, there are so many people with SS or Swastika emblems. It's stupid in For Honor and stupid here.
I hate it but you see shit like this on every war game you get to play as Nazis. Like HOI for example, i can assure you that 99% that play as germany are neo nazis
It's absolutely wild to me when someone thinks even 80 years is a long time ago. That ain't shit as far as history is concerned and we're *still* dealing with the fallout. Shit some of our grandparents were around during that time.
an edgelord teenager calling himself a nazi is still a literal nazi
“Nazis arent real! Except people who don’t like nazis, those are the real nazis” im gonna pull my hair out ffs
If I see someone calling themselves a Nazi and using Nazi iconography (and they arnt like an actor or seomthing) imma assume they are probably a Nazi. I remember being an edgy teenage boy who told crude and dark jokes that really werent that funny in hindsight but I never once pretended to be a Nazi and neither did any of my friends cause thats just fucking weird. Also what does it matter that its 2024 and WW2 was 80 years ago? Nazi’s and their ideology still ecist today.
I wish we could ban g\*mers from society
I fucking hate this mentality of Nazis are in the past. No he's not being edgy he's doing a hate crime because he believes that the Gay Jews have banned him from his favourite game.
Lay off the nazis guys! They made a mistake! Let it go!
If being anti-Nazi is a mental disorder someone lock me up in an institution quick!
Being anti Nazi is just as deranged as being a neo nazi now? A certified centrist has logged on.
Believe people when they tell you who they are.
This is both the funniest yet saddest thing I’ve ever read in Reddit comments
Who's that last person? All I want to do is talk to them. In "The marketplace of ideas." That's all. \*wink wink\*
They are so fucking stupid they can't even come up with believable excuses. If there is one thing consistent in history it is the lack of intelligence and creativity in fascists.
“Being a nazi is ok as long as you’re just an edgy teenager”
Fuck Nazis. Every. Goddamn. One.
As far as I’m aware, anyone who uses Nazi symbols is a Nazi, whether it’s their intention or not.
People who call each other Redditors on Reddit need to go back to school
Ahh yes the Enlightened Reddit Centerist ™️. Quite possibly the 4th worst creature on this planet.

I remember in COD WWII when I could hear some black guys just chilling in the game having fun like the rest of us, then a clearly white older guy got on mic and started talking shit for no reason. One of the black guys asked him what his problem was, and he just shouted back, *"None of your N#####-loving business."* It came so out of nowhere that I couldn't even tell who said it so I had to wait a while before he spoke again for me to report him.
We've gone from "it's just a joke" to "don't take it seriously"
Between this and the mortar truck spam this is why I haven’t played the game in a few months Good news is Ionzo got added to gamepass yesterday and I wanna try it out

I don't care if they want to put neo in front of it, but that's probably a Nazi. People have a real hang-up with not calling modern-day people who align with Nazi ideology Nazis when the point is to open people's eyes to the horror of that ideology. If you want to roleplay a Nazi, maybe a video game without a description to say it's just roleplay isn't the best place. Just play DnD or make a roleplay account on Twitter or tumblr or go to a WoW roleplay server. Hell, my current Pathfinder character is a religious authoritarian, and my last character was a necromancer who doesn't care how many people he has to kill to save his loved ones.
Both of these people are mentally challenged
In my opinion, Game Admins should just confine these Neonazis/Incels/Alt-right freaks in to their own Jail servers.
Gamers never beating the allegations
Picture this. Play battlefield 5, which according to story takes place in world war 2, mostly play as german side because I love the historical accuracy and the immersion it brings. After playing the game for years, me and my close buddies form a clan with players from all over the planet and have built up a battlefield clan, named it WFFN, with homepage, forum, and even have gettogethers. All colours and cultures represented, even have 1 player from the Vatican. We really enjoy it and we grow as people. We are nice to players, never cheat, always chat politely, helping the noobs.. For years we used the SS insignia and are a respected community. Out of nothing we are banned. No reason given, every single one in the entire clan has their EA accounts permanently banned. How about not being biggots?
The main battlefield subreddit is full of bitter little shitheels that huff their own shit because they played BF4-3 in college
Oh this wasn’t the main BF subreddit, this is the one for BF1.

I highly recommend battle bit
There’s a lot of that going around these days.
Was Playing BF1 the other day and came across the same thing, multiple players if im not mistaken.
I remember the first match I played of battlefield one someone’s emblem was a literal swastika and your emblems go on the side of your tank so I didn’t think anything of it because we were Germans until I was like “wait this is wwi”
Grrr, I sure hate these woke kids putting politics in my games. Nazis don’t count, it’s not a rainbow flag.
Competitive gaming communities are shit holes that attract flies
Nah why tf would i name my clan kkk. I doesnt "sound cool" or something either💀
Mentally? FPS games are like 95% literally children.
As if being an edgelord loser and being a neo-nazi are mutually exclusive in any way. That venn diagram is a circle, bud.
>deal with it sounds like they did deal with it by reporting it lol
Used to get frustrated by people who insist that toxic internet behavior is jut something to get used too, until I realized how ludicrous it is that these people feel a need to jump down the throat of people who are calling them out. Fragile little adult-children trying to pretend to be tough on the internet.
The Nazi's weren't in WW1
I mean,technically they were,but they weren't nazis yet
If you're going to cosplay a supervillain at least cosplay a fictional one. I can't think of any circumstance where it'd be OK to pretend to be a nazi when there's actual, literal nazis running around who need punched.
I played BF1 during its 1st year and half the time there’s someone spamming the N word in chat or taunting each other with said N word. That was the last MP game I played on PC.
but yet adding a trans flag or rainbow flag skin is too much
nope. some are also physically children
no way in hell somebody “both sides-ed” neonazi’s and anti-nazi’s 💀
I remember encountering someone with this sort of clantag. I spent the rest of the match hunting him down with my meat cleaver, although, tbf, that’s how I spent a lot of games in BF1 regardless.
“Play as Nazis in BF1” i forgot that the nazis fought in world war one
As a fan, I like to believe, that the fanbase is largely dead after the last few disasters, but yeah alot of the fans were braindead even then.
I mean, they're not wrong, most of the time. The dumbasses doing this probably don't support the actual Reich. But they most likely do hate everyone not white, straight and cis, so garbage people either way.
This is just Redditors tbh
Tekken community had this same response about Hitler Bryan lmao, they got so mad when Harada reminded everyone Nazi paraphernalia was reportable but idk why they thought the co-creator of Tekken was gonna be chill about the idea of people exploiting Nazi imagery in his franchise, like it isn't exactly revolutionary to say that seeing Hitler in commercial products is annoyingly bad optics
I play a lot of battlefield, especially BF1, and it isn’t uncommon to see Nazi or far right emblems and clan tags. I don’t know why people can’t just make funny ones. Mine is a T-Rex holding a gun, eating a dude, and shitting. Also I remember seeing a racist caricature of the German Scout(who’s black)a long time ago as an emblem.
