Stop Normalizing Nazis - Socially Conscious Game Design

"Stop Normalizing Nazis - Socially Conscious Game Design" is a video made by the YouTube channel Extra Credits. It was uploaded on July 4, 2019.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The video uses several slippery slope arguments claiming that people are Nazis or are just as bad as Nazis:
 * 2) It claims that playing World War II video games makes you a Nazi.
 * 3) It claims that people who play as a terrorist in games such as the Counter Strike game series are just as bad as Nazis.
 * 4) The video claims that the Wehrmacht was not related to the Nazis, even though it was actually the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany.
 * 5) They also claim that gamers' relatives would be traumatized because of video games with the option of playing as Nazis or terrorists, which is not necessarily true.
 * 6) A lack of comedic value without Daniel Floyd, as they want the video to be really serious.
 * 7) They think people draw swastikas for no apparent reason, even though that is not true.
 * 8) They also think people who plays as a Nazi or a terrorist too much would make them think that terrorists rule the world.
 * 9) They bring up unrelated topics such as global warming, which has nothing to do with video games or Nazis.
 * 10) Even the simplest "Red vs Blue" team mode is still bad to them.
 * 11) They think Rainbow Six Siege is PVP anti-terrorist training. It's just a video game.
 * 12) They think Nazis should not exist for historical reasons; if a game centered around World War II does not mention or have a group similar to Nazis in it, then it is historically inaccurate.
 * 13) *While this may be offensive, history should not be forgotten, no matter how bad it may be today.
 * 14) They believed games that include Nazis or terrorists automatically have a bad purpose.
 * 15) They recommend that those who choose to be a Nazi or terrorist should have more waiting time, even though it provides little difference.
 * 16) They contradict themselves, for example they say that, "no game should have Nazis or terrorists" yet just a few minutes later they say that they are not saying there should be no games with Nazis or terrorists.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The art style in the animation is decent.

Reception
The video was criticised for being blatant far-left propaganda and for being poorly researched. It earned 48,686 dislikes. It was also pointed out that Extra Credits once sponsored World of Tanks, where gamers can be Nazis, which can go to show that they are hypocrites.

Extra Credits tried to defend the video, saying that Nazis in game do not "magically" turn into a Nazi nor terrorist in real life, but many users disagree. They also tweeted a statement saying political correctness matters in gaming as they claim terrorists and Nazis should not be character skins in video games. The Extra Credits community manager criticised the user who disliked the video and unsubscribed from Extra Credits' channel. This goes to show they cannot take criticism.
