In Germany the original Wolfenstein used to be kinda illegal (there is a sutle difference which is not the point here), because of the “fascist propaganda” facepalm. Still… It was the first 3d shooter I had and I mostly shit my pants, because I was 6 years old xD
For a long time, Germany treated any mention of nazis or depictions of swastikas as basically infohazards, scp style. You can’t become the fascist if you don’t know what a fascist is, or so the thinking went. Imo a lot of what was really happening was German guilt and attempting to hide history from their youth.

Funny that they considered a game where you kill fascists as “fascist propaganda”. Like, without the propaganda, how do you know they’re fascists?
