This looks like that zero-budget horror movie "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" that started running ads a few weeks after Pooh went public.

The entire advertising model is spectacle. There's nothing under the hood.

I could a sworn Walt was an anti-semiye as well so i did a quick Google and came across this amazing quote.

Gabler said he read every one of Disney's papers in the company's archives, and says "I saw no evidence, other than casual anti-Semitism that virtually every gentile at that time would have, that Walt Disney was an anti-Semite," according to the report.

The charge: Walt Disney was an anti-Semite. The evidence: Well, there’s the famous Three Little Pigs scene, in which the wolf was portrayed as a Jewish peddler. (The scene was later reanimated.) And there is the fact that in 1938, a month after Kristallnacht, Disney personally welcomed Nazi director Leni Riefenstahl to his studios. [This sentence links to a NYT source.]

Jewish animator Art Babbitt, who maintained a "difficult relationship" with Disney throughout his career, claimed to have seen Disney and his lawyer, Gunther Lessing, attending meetings of pro-Nazi organisation the German American Bund in the late 1930s.

See? Just your casual antisemitism.💁‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

In his biography of Riefenstahl, author Steven Bach writes that upon her return to Germany, she thanked Disney for receiving her, saying it “was gratifying to learn how thoroughly proper Americans distance themselves from the smear campaigns of the Jews.”

I wonder what she would say if we could asked her if he was antisemitic?

"I saw no evidence, other than casual anti-Semitism that virtually every gentile at that time would have, that Walt Disney was an anti-Semite," according to the report.

"His Hitler Particle emissions are within ambient levels for 1930s America."

"This is no more radioactive than ambient levels in Chernobyl, Ukraine."

This is one of the most comedic things I've ever read, this is too hamfisted for the Onion to write

Why waste time say lot word when “yes” do trick?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Probably to avoid being sued.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

No, except yes.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Even without documented evidence (of which there is in this thread, but even giving benefit of the doubt) disney was someone who had to be in control of everything and genuinely believed his ideas were divine. Read some of his stuff about the initial vision for epcot. His idea was to have families (the patriarchal fathers to be exact) sign away their autonomy to become human zoo exhibits in his "vision of tomorrow" which wouls actually be the parks' famous corporate sponsors' world in which their products are the future.

His philosophy and managerial style are uncomfortably close (at best) to that of the nazis.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

The western definition of nazi as either "bully" or "strictly anti-semitic" really helps obfuscate them. Like Disney's involvement in the Red Scare is his most openly nazi action, but this implicated how many Americans are close to nazism so we cannot use that definition

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

American education tries soooo hard to obscure the fact that anti-communism is probably the defining feature of Naziism, with anti-semitism being an extension of it. They didn’t just hate Jews, they hated communism and believed it was a Jewish plot.

Just looked up wtf 1488 is

When are the new Nazi killing games coming along? No number of them is enough

[-] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago

I'm desperately trying to pull my finger out to make my metal slug inspired communist game. Rest assured there will be plenty of nazi killing.

Just getting to grips with Godot atm

Wasn't metal slug already killing Nazis?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Yeah, pretty much. I want this to be a little more overt.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Why because of some rando tweeter post?

Edit sorry thought you replied to adifferent comment

[-] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago

It's a pretty common dogwhistle, Trump admin and the CBP slipped in statements similar to the 14 words and some suspicious uses of the numbers, saw it in the usernames of white supremacists on reddit,ect. (Also a JPEGMAFIA song https://youtu.be/_WVOq6gC2Mg?si=1VavIa2rWW0OQ2E4)

Bless your heart for being chronically online enough to be on Hexbear but somehow never being exposed to 1488 before.

just saw something from Devs:

We're changing our game's name to 'Infestation: Origins'. Our game, "Infestation 88" is set in the 1980s with the year 1988 chosen simply due to its symmetrical design in the game's artwork/logo. Unfortunately, we were unaware of any additional meanings the number 88 has. However, after learning about this, we're changing the game's name to "Infestation: Origins." We apologize for our ignorance on this and appreciate that this was brought to our attention so we could address it ASAP!

yah. ok...

  • Everyone who would design a game, especially a bit game like this, is terminally online
  • Everyone who's terminally online knows "1488" and other Nazi shit
  • These are Nazis
[-] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago

Also, the devs are American IIRC.

Almost every American is a fucking nazi so of course they'd know what 1488 is.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

I saw someone alleging that game dev discord server has multiple known nazis on the mod team

doubt Suuureeee it is... I'm fully expecting heavy metal hair bands and the like.

For real though I love that neo nazis have the lying capacity of a toddler

[-] [email protected] 42 points 8 months ago

Nazis gotta ruin everything

The sad part is that there's potential for art that uses Mickey as the representation of amerikkka he is and makes real critique of our culture especially Disney but instead it's nazis doing stupid nazi shit

[-] [email protected] 39 points 8 months ago

Tigger also became public domain this year, can't wait for the new frontier for Nazi games on Steam yea

[-] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago

I honestly don't really care much for this sort of stuff so I didnt bother watching the trailer, but the 88 flew over my head. And the fact that they use that imagery is just... ugh.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

i think this person is insane, but the game looks like shit anyway so i support this tweet regardless

[-] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

So what's she's saying is, Half Life 3 confirmed?
