I was not sure where to put this, but sometimes news about some aspect of Gaming comes up and it's difficult trawling for the threads.

I came across this piece about some apparent bro-ha over the new Wolfenstein game and i assume the alt-right (and others of that ilk) getting all upset about it being about fighting 's, as all Wolfenstein games have been!

's as the bad guys in videogames? How is that controversial?':

Wolfenstein has been around longer than I’ve been alive. What began as two innovative anti- stealth video games for the Apple II and Commodore 64 became id Software’s famous first-person anti- shooter. The game popularised the first-person shooter, giving rise to household names like Doom and Call of Duty. The latest iteration is released this week and, for the first time, some people are offended by its opposition to s. How on earth have we got here?

How indeed?
