Just wondering how come the French don't get that much loving in the Cod series. They have 4 official games in WW2 settings, and the French was only featured in one of them, CoD 3. Racism? Stereotype?
And how come no developers have ever tried to display WW2 through the eyes and view of a German, Japanese or Italian soldiers? It would be very interesting to see WW2 through their eye and from their point of view. Association with Nazism isn't always bad, sure, most Nazi members are assholes, but look at John Rabe, whose political party was Nazi, yet he saved many lives during the Rape of Nanking by helping to establish the Nanking Safety Zone. Or Oskar Schindler, who *gasp* is another Nazi, who saved well over 1,000 Jewish lives, posing them as workers in his factory, and was buried with honor in a Jewish cemetary site. Or Chiune Sugihara (scroll down the page) who saved an estimate of 6,000 Jewish people from death. It seems that associating your WW2 game with the Axis is like insulting and making fun of the Holocaust while being racist at the same time. Yet this is almost like how Hitler view the Jewish people himself, only this time, you are being prejudice against Germans, Italians and Japaneses simply because of their association to the Axis Powers.
So :adolf: any of you who think I'm a Nazi sympathiser, because I'm not. I do however, sympathise for the people who were treated badly because of their allegiance the the Axis Power, like those who were affected by the Japanese internment camp.
P.S: I'm confused, does this thread belong in the political discussion or does it belong in the gaming section, or the lounge?
Happy reading.
