You play as a prisoner of Nazis in Wolfenstein 3D. Tom Hall has stated that BJ Blazkowicz’s mother was Jewish. Given how line of descent works in Judaism, BJ must also be Jewish. John Carmack confers this notion. BJ Blazkowicz has been Jewish since his inception. Are you purposefully an idiot or were you just born that way?
BJ Blazcowicz was designed as an ethnic Polish Christian person. BJ was never referred to in any was as Jewish or insinuated to be Jewish in the original properties by id software. Tom Hall saying something else 15 years later or whatever to ingratiate himself to certain people is meaningless. John Carmack, when asked about anything, defers to what the person said EVERY TIME. I have talked to both Tom and John in my life btw have you
Are you asserting that only Jewish people were prisoners of Nazis btw??
Woke doesn't exist. The word woke was invented by salty patriarchs to thwart progress towards a diverse world where everyone can coexist. If you want to live in a better world, join the LGBTQ+ community in boycotting this game until the devs decide to introduce DEI features.
The Nazi prisoner comment is what we call a line of evidence. Lines of evidence are important when building a case; while not the smoking gun on its own, it provides support to one’s argument in combination with other information. You’re assuming that Tom Hall said BJ was Jewish to “ingratiate himself with certain people”, but aside from a general vibe, you have no proof of this being the case. That’s great you’ve spoken to Tom and John. Completely irrelevant to the point though, as you fail to provide their insight based on your personal communication. Regardless, they would continue to assert that BJ Blazkowwicz is a Jewish man. Given that Tom Hall created the character, he would not only know more than you, but also know better than you. Frankly, you’re not as smart as you think you are.
Your "line of evidence" is not a piece of evidence. Germany operated over 1,000 POW camps in World War 2 and is thought to have captured MILLIONS of POWs over the course of the war, mostly from Russia and Soviet territories.
When you use the word evidence that means you bring up numbers and what happened, not what you think feels good to say. Sorry, but you lost, please don't try to argue again.
I stated that BJ was retconned to be Jewish. Because BJ was not asserted to be Jewish *in any way* by the original games or by the developers AT THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL GAMES, it's an OBJECTIVE TRUTH that this was a RETCON.
I'm really tired of two-digiters trying to argue over OBJECTIVE FACTS. Whether you think he was always INTENDED to be Jewish is something you can argue, whether he was RETCONNED to be Jewish is NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN ARGUE.
You’re absolutely right, Germany did have thousands of POWs from various countries and of various ethnicities, but given that we have the original creator of BJ Blazkowicz saying his mother is Jewish, then he was likely intended to be a Jewish POW. Because I brought up exactly what happened per the lore of the game and the lore according to its creator, then it is evidence, you dunce. There is no evidence of a retcon, only that the information about BJ’s heritage was clarified recently. A retcon would suggest that there was prior information known, only to be changed later. This is not the case. Sorry, but you lost. Please don’t try to argue again.
Everybody in the room already talking to me bro. Doesn't work like this. Internet has taught you wrong. Take the L
