Anti-semitism in this game, stylized lightning bolt "S" symbol constantly referenced in the game!
This game has a military organization that resembles nazis, that's not too bad because a lot of games have parodies of nazis, but what I found really surprising was that this game constantly uses the Schutzstaffel stylized "S" symbol, the exact logo as the infamous "SS" guard, not a coincidence. An example of this in-game is here:

And go to 2:09 in the video and you'll see one on her helmet.

This is just one of the many "S" symbol references to the "SS". This isn't the only reference to the symbol in the game, most of the enemies and their buildings have this logo too since most of the antagonists come from this military organization. I remember back in the 80's the band KISS got into a lot of trouble because they purposely made their band logo with the same stylized "S" symbol.

This is not a random stylistic choice, this "S" logo is identical to the Schutzstaffel "SS" logo and it's extremely unprofessional for a game studio,, especially considering this game was developed in Canada and not Japan. It's one thing to make a parody, but it's another to actually make direct references to it and copy their uniform's symbols.

o boy

If you have a problem with fiction, if you equate fictional nazis with real nazis, why don't you equate GTA with real-life murder?

When it comes to fiction, I don't care how nasty or evil it is, it's freaking fiction, so you have no right to take other's people fiction.

Don't get baited, that's just pure trolling.

Just in case this is serious:

The lightning bolt is a part of a larger symbol they are carrying on their helmets. Is it supposed to remind you of the nazis? Definitely. Is it a nazi symbol? No, it's not.

And here we go ladies and gentlemans, another SJW paranoic who sees enemies and disrespect in fiction products. How one can live without sense of humor or appriciation for vast variety of what art can achieve... We'll never know. :smoke::yukari3:

I'd hate to see him realize there's a visual novel called Dies Irae with an anime adaptation to boot.

Go away, let nep nep alone! Stop with that ♥♥♥♥ political thing here.
You don't even own the game.

A tip to everyone, don't feed the troll let this topic die and report this topic for accusing this game being anti semitism.
My1 Jun 23, 2019 @ 12:16pm 
anti semitism probably not but nazi references sure why not. I dont see a problem. as long as it's not portrayed as good.
