Well even then you'd have to look at the ages and/or intelligence of the players concerned I guess - if someone approached me about this and when I joined the discord I saw it was named after 'one of Hitler's favourite Panzer divisions' as stated in the Polygon piece, I'd just tell them to go spin before bidding my farewell, on the basis that I'd assume they were a bunch of tragic edgeords.

The whole point of flooding gaming communities with "apolitical" crap is to get kids who don't know better into it and normalize it, so yeah.

Well, this is an issue because it's one app effecting the playing of people in the game and yep, technically it's outside Fdevs control about the Discord server.



That's the problem, I don't even know what 'Hitler's favorite Panzer Division' was, so it would only have been when I'd seen the content within the discord that the alarm bells would have rung.

Well neither do I, which is why I tend to avoid random teutonically-themed discords making outlandish promises 😃

Im surprised nobody has posted that david mitchell gif yet, considering he's in the aforementioned Panzer Division I think. Id do it myself but im washing up. so efficiently

Although I have a grudging respect for someone to come up with this scam but maybe we really need to look at the way these newbies were 'recruited' and the fact the discord people had to use was full of unpleasantness.

This is Polygon tho, even they may have realised the article was such a soggy superfood they had to add some racism notes to hit the tone of horror they were aiming for.

both extremes do it, and both are incredibly tedious about it. It'd be outrageous gender-bias not to point that out..

edit: im not excusing racist behaviour whatsoever, & that group sounds like one id want no contact with at all. but if it served their purpose, I wouldnt put it past polygon to wilfully misinterpret out of context anything anyone said, even if it took several gymnastic leaps to make it seem even remotely close to the end description.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I hope some "rescue FC" takes them further out.

Sound's like a drooling soyjuice 'Jerno' got scared by a bunch of guys who wanted to see how far they could make the game work for them.

I'll bet he'll (or it) will have to take a weeks kale break to get over it all....
