    If you show Hitler in any video game, killing him or directly causing his death should be an option available to the player. Generally speaking, if I’m playing a game with Nazis in it, I’m doing that in order to kill Nazis, so yeah, let me kill Hitler in that context. It won’t actually solve the present rise of fascism, but it’ll damn sure make me feel better for a few hours.

      If there’s a dog in a video game you should be able to pet it. If there’s a hitler in a video game you should be able to kill it.

        That’s what I’m saying!

        If there’s a cat or a dog, you should be able to pet it, boop the snoot, and give it a belly rub. If there’s a bear, live or teddy, you should be able to hug it and scritch behind the ears.

        And if there’s a Hitler, a Mussolini, or any other fascist figurehead, you should be able to kill it. Ideally in an extremely violent manner, or with multiple options open to you. Because dead fascists = good clean fun.
