HOT TAKE: If Wolfenstein weren't about Nazis, some people would root for the villains.

It's natural for people to root for the villains sometimes. People love the Enclave from Fallout, despite them just being nuclear Nazis, people excuse it as being fictional and that "they're not like Nazis entirely!"
So that's why I think that if Wolfenstein weren't about Nazis, a percentage of the players would be sympathisers for them. Let's use the Wolven League or Regime as an example. In the German versions, they did everything to turn the Nazis into a generic regime. Replacing Hitler with Hailer, turning "Sieg Heil" into "Viktoria," redoing the Swastika or Reichsadler into whatever they've got. They're just a dictatorship, not THE dictatorship. So I feel like that if Wolfenstein was about freedom fighting against "The Regime," or the "Wolven League," there would be people on both sides of the spectrum.

I had a fair ammount of encounters that showed the pictures of the parade in arkansas and the city and said "Everything is clean and beautiful, and the nazis are supposed to be the bad guys?!"

Modern day MAGA lol! They just hide some of their hate out of shame. When these people get enough power and control, they'll turn into the same....

Some people probably thought similarly in the 1930’s-40’s.

Those Hugo Boss uniforms were pretty sharp for the time.

Some ppl still root for the nazis

The parade is in New Mexico actually, but I get what you mean! You mod the game, change those Hakenkreuzes into the American flag, nobody would know!

Have you seen how many Star Wars fans root for the Empire? Nazi sympathy is always just masked enough for plausible deniability

“The sirens sing so beautifully, and they’re supposed to be man-eating monsters?!”

Have you seen how cool they look though? Its all made up so what's the problem with rooting for the bad guys

MAGA will never conpare to Nazis lmfao

now im picturing a neo-nazi playing wolfenstein and saying "im sorry..." out loud every time he gets a kill

the new order had a workers camp, aint nobody siding with them 😭

The same people that were upset the kkk were in wolfenstein 2. I thought they weren't in it enough

I like the bad guys because they dress cool. I like the good guys because they're right. If the "evil" faction isn't painstakingly obvious do some research.
