@sargentd: “There is no "another". It's what he said, directly. It was requested, not demanded, which he done out of respect.

While the presence of a swastika would have caused Doom to be banned in Germany (where the display of Nazi iconography in video gameswas illegal, regardless of context), and not just restricted to adults due to the game's graphic violence, according to developer John Romero, the symbol was removed after an objection to its presence was sent to him by a veteran of World War II.

The people who demanded, objecting to Doom were 1. Germany (because of that whole Hitler guy thing) 2. People blaming it for school shootings such as Columbine High School massacre 3. A general "video games cause violence scare"

This, not the swastikas was the was people were outraged by with correlation between video games and real world violence being dubunked. The people in question of high moral value (let me check my notes)... Oh.

Dumb pussies..

All of which, you've ignored, which I directly highlighted Because it makes you look dumb. And proves my point, completely right.

Which I am. Which to reiterate, is deeply impressive stuff.”

That was what I was wanting the source for, minus the ad hominems. 🥱

@sargentd: He said nothing about being requested by a family member or whatever Buttercup said, hence why I wanted to read Buttercup’s source since that’s the first time I’ve heard of it. Not sure why there’s such an issue with Buttercup providing the source, but whatever.

@sargentd: If you say so. 🤷🏻

@sargentd: Same, so why ask me that out of left field when I was talking about Doom in response to Buttercup’s increasingly snarky posting? 🤨

@sargentd: You first.

@sargentd: Not as offended as Sony was apparently, as they forced Shift Up to change that graffiti pronto. 😏

@uninspiredcup: You’re truly a legend in your own mind. 🤭

Seriously though, why not provide the source? I’m actually curious to see what else was said, after all.

@sargentd: Interesting how he still hasn’t provided his source to back up his claims.

@Planeforger: The anti-woke rabbit hole clearly takes a toll on one’s ability to act like a normal, well-adjusted adult. 😏

@uninspiredcup: Why are you so scared of providing your source? Is there something on that website you don’t want people seeing? 😏
