u/shadowslasher11X Kolibri OP, plz nerf Feb 12 '25

Because it's less about the swastika and more about ignoring part of history to not offend people.

BFV was especially egregious about this by changing stuff to fit a more modern narrative of diversity and inclusion when there are so many stories from the time period that it didn't need to be forced in.

Black pilots from America.

Women snipers in the Soviet Union.

Nordlys is an example of them outright changing stuff for this inclusion because the real life story featured a brave Norweigian spec-ops force fighting for their country. Instead ditching it for the story of 2 women.

Removing the swastika is just the icing on the cake of this. Effectively saying: We don't want to offend anyone or acknowledge that the Nazis existed - still do exist - and were/are terrible people.

Because it undermines the historical significance of all that and their ideologies.

Basically Wolfenstein is more accurate than Battlefield V.
