Regardless of politics.
Why do Nazis or Nazi inspired enemies like the Helghast make the best of enemies in vidya?

The Helgans had some story behind them so they weren't just some 'bad guy'
Logan Adams
Because most people believe their lies.
They made the angels look like demons in most people's eyes.

I always assumed it was because they are allowed to be audacious and brash, since they're the designated badguys they can be memorably stupid/evil/awesome and don't need to conform to a restricting mold like the protagonists.
Samuel Rodriguez
Because they're humans who had their humanity stripped away from them by public conception.Turns out it's easier to commit inhumane acts on a person if you're told they don't count as human in the first place.
In fact, you're encouraged to visit harm on these people and it's socially acceptable because it turns out that the problem society has isn't with violence, or even the extent of violence, but which groups are subjected to it.

competent, menacing, stylish, technologically advanced, occultism
Austin Fisher
The Helghasts legitimately did nothing wrong and were treated like trash, the "Good guy" faction resembles the nazis more.
Liam Perry
why does not having sex make people nazis

Like murdering Russian farmers? Reminder every Nazi bitch in Berlin deserved rape.
Elijah Wilson
Because you get to kill nazis
Oliver Sullivan
Don't forget
>They actually did experiment with stupid occult shit and dumb as fuck "just make a tank the size of a building" type technology which is great for video games
Jonathan Reyes
Personally I wish more games with Soviets went over the top like in Red Alert
Samuel Wright
Because those Nazi bitches slaughtered those farmers? You're doing exactly what he specified.
Gavin Kelly
The nazis were fucking crazy, someone should have the balls and make China the antagonist now, but will probably never happen, aside from Fallout

Man I can't wait for WWIII.
You fucking jews are disgusting.
Fuck Israel.
Brayden Miller
This. The Helgans were pretty badly fucked over in the lore.
Andrew Clark
Cool aesthetics, cuhrayzee science, optional occult stuff.
Caleb Morris
>Like murdering Russian farmers?
Yup.
If you're told Russian farmers don't count as people then they're easier to justify it when you kill them.
Likewise, I'd imagine that 'nazi bitches' are easier to justify raping if you dehumanise them too. All sorts of atrocities can be handwaved if the other side are seen as less than human, because, as a human, your rights and needs matter more, right?

>propagandized since birth to hate them
>also serves as a white supremacist subtext in the sense that only other white people could stand up to white people because the other races are inferior
They're perfect for the manbun generation of covert racists.

I'm always wondering, how can somebody be so hateful of something they've never met or experienced themselves? Have you ever thought that maybe you're simply influenced by big media to say what you say?
I live in germany, I met some of those "horrible nazis" that fought in the war. I could calmly and normally talk with each of them.
There was nothing out of the ordinary with them. Many of them didn't even want to fight but felt like they didn't have any other choice.
>Murdering Nazi farmers
Nobody in WW2 just went ahead and killed random farmers. Usually there was some sort of reasoning behind certain massacres. Usually tied with partisan activity.
Quite the contrary nazis supported the civilians under their rule much better than the soviet union did. Germany at least tried to give them life necessities. Like food or medicine. The soviet union just didn't give a damn.
Gavin Clark
because killing nazis
Bentley Sullivan
This. Red black and white as a colour palette is so perfect for creating a villanous aesthetic the nazi's basically set themselves up as villans even without the historical context.
Adrian Diaz
The Nazis weren't crazy cartoon villains.
There wasn't much difference between them and other militaries and countries back then. Their only crime which led them to become the typical villains was that they targeted the Chosen Tribe.
One of the most retarded arguments is "look, nazis had SKULLS in their designs, they were SOOO EVIL", when fucking every elite military back then had skulls because they just thought they were cool.

Helgans were straight up a corporation that became commies before becoming what they were.
Gavin Adams
Because nobody's gonna complain when you shoot very disgruntled germans.
Julian Cooper
Because apparently its ok to kill people as long as they don't share your political opinions.
Adrian Peterson
its not just Nazis its any enemy of the state.
There's just as much Anti Russian media as there was anti Nazi
What you are seeing is just the Nazi's mastery of propaganda being emulated.
Hating Nazis to such a high degree is exactly how the Nazis felt towards their enemies.
Nobody would hate Nazis that much if it werent for the Nazis breakthroughs in conditioning and propaganda. they sown their own demise.
Connor Johnson
lmao been to berlin lately? There's nothing left to fight for with da joos
Jack Sanders
I trust your source from the German Propaganda ministry is more reliable?
Lincoln Bell
related to this thread, i really really love the way soviets are show on red alert, is like the perfect antagonist on a world without WWII, soviets on CNC focus on wave after wave of raw power and a moving wall of armored vehicles, theres also tesla weaponry for the extra wackiness of it, god it makes me angry when people ask why those games don't have nazis those are the same people that ask for a fallout game set outside USA.
Noah Brooks
Fuck nazis.
Fuck Zig Forums.
Parker Hernandez
Yeah there is, it's called revenge.
Fuck Israel.
I hope Israeli female gets raped and Israeli male gets their dick chopped off and forced to eat it.
Daniel Jenkins
>they are cool

I trust my poltard autistic propaganda images more than Wikipedia.
Dylan Myers
Fuck you kike
Jose Cruz
Yes to fight Partisans and Saboteurs in the area. Like I said. Well and generally the term "Einsatzgruppen" is a bit vague. They're like special forces to deal with certain problems.
That can also be a tree falling over a road or on a tank or something.
That was not what I heard from the old people I talked to. Nobody hated russians, brits or americans for just existing.

You mean despite the historical context?

The german nation nowadays has no other choice but to just accept everything they get thrown at by their enemies.
Michael Cruz
It just reeks of upper class nobility and superiority.
Monarchy is dead so there's no way of getting that for a modern enemy
But Nazi Germany oozed this sense of nobility that looked down on the poor. And most of the West is full of envious poorfags. So they are the most logical enemy outside of commies, and the west wont paint itself as the enemy. Not until recently at least.
