I think it's more that they are a non native English speaking company and they have a team to double check how an American/whiney idiot audience might take things. I mean, who saw the racist complaint coming with the kingdom come launch and that completely overshadowed the release of that game. I think in this snowflake generation, most companies have to think about this kind of thing unfortunately as things can quickly pick up traction on social media and seriously effect sales.
From the demo, it seems there was plenty of uber violence & arses sticking out and I have faith CDPR won't bend too easy to whiners.
I hope you’re right. As well as wanting a great game (think it’s impossible for CDPR to deliver anything else
), I’d love it to be a gigantic middle finger to PC’ness in general. If the fans want an uncensored game, there’s no better developer to listen. 0 -

The never said anything about punching anyone that supports Trump.
And if you are mentally making the jump from Nazis to Trump supporters then that's the real issue.. maybe Trump and his supporters should do more to disassociate themselves from actual Nazi's..But looking at whats going on there ,it looks to be going the opposite way..
"They're not nazi's but yeah they're sorta nazis"
Might want to make your mind up there. 0 -

Yet you cannot point out where it was any different from any Wolfenstein game, e.g. it was about killing Nazis? Why is that all of a sudden an offensive idea?
I've shown you the June 11th 2017 reveal trailer that immediately offended Nazis and Trump supporters, can you please tell me what in that trailer was so offensive?
When did you ever kill nazi's by punching them?
And lets be honest if Rockstar did a GTA ad that said "smoke a gangsta", the gaming media would have gone ****ing mental, rather than get all jesuitical over the difference between gangstas and black men. And you wouldn't be telling us that the black community needs to work harder at differentiating itself from gangstas
The PR department saw a chance to stir up a bit of controversy with a current topic and score some easy coverage from a games media that had gone completely mental since el Trumpo was elected (because apparently that has something to do with their job now).
Fair play to them, that's their gig as PR dept.0 -

And where does the June 11th trailer talk about punching Nazis?When did you ever kill nazi's by punching them?
Really, so why were people not up in arms through the 1980s or 1990s when they had the same and game content (e.g. killing Nazis)? Here's one from 17 years ago, it's terrible trailer but the same idea - killing Nazis.And lets be honest if Rockstar did a GTA ad that said "smoke a gangsta", the gaming media would have gone ****ing mental, rather than get all jesuitical over the difference between gangstas and black men. And you wouldn't be telling us that the black community needs to work harder at differentiating itself from gangstas
The PR department saw their chance to promote it being a game about killing Nazis, which has been the case for the last 10 Wolfenstein games over 36 years that came before it. But the alt right generation snowflakes got offended about it this time.The PR department saw a chance to stir up a bit of controversy with a current topic and score some easy coverage from a games media that had gone completely mental since el Trumpo was elected (because apparently that has something to do with their job now).

After the Charlottesville incident quite close to their HQ Bethesda ramped it up further, but the alt-right crowd started getting offended the day after the release trailer, which was a Wolfenstein trailer about killing Nazis, for a Wolfenstein game about killing Nazis.0 -

Who said anything about June 11? You're trying to frame your argument because you know you're on a sticky wicket
https://twitter.com/wolfenstein/status/919684333207568385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Farticles%2Fnew-wolfenstein-2-ad-shows-a-nazi-getting-punched-%2F1100-6454081%2F
As for the trailer you've linked that you think proves a point, its a bog standard fps trailer. The little ad blast that caused a tiff was blatantly riffing on present day events "If you're a Nazi...*punch*... GTFO". Completely different and caused no small amount of controversy due to the current trend in certain quarters of defining "nazi" as follows
Funny that you claim their PR campaign was no different to what went previously and simultaneously claim that it was inspired by Bethesda's proximity to Charlottesville. Can't be both chief, doublethink is dangerous

I said June 11th, because that is when they had their initial launch trailer. The same launch trailer that offended the alt right and neo Nazis. It's actually the exact point I made that started this. 2017 Neo Nazis, the alt right and some Trump supporters all of a sudden got offended about a game about killing Nazis that has been in existence since 1981.Who said anything about June 11? You're trying to frame your argument because you know you're on a sticky wicket
As I already said, after the Nazi march in Charlottesville that lead to a Nazi terrorist attack and the President of the US calling these 'very fine people', Bethesda went further down that route. But that was in October 2017.
None of that has any bearing on the fact that in June 2017, people were getting offended over a game about killing Nazis that had been around, and had been about killing Nazis, since 1981.As for the trailer you've linked that you think proves a point, its a bog standard fps trailer.

No it wasn't. Again, neo Nazis, the alt right and some Trump supporters got offended on June 12th, the day after the E3 trailer. This is a fact that I have already linked to this - here is the link again.
You have literally proven my point for me, it was a bog standard FPS trailer, yet because it was about killing Nazis many of the modern right wing snowflakes got extremely offended by it. Despite it being a franchise that had been around for over three and a half decades.
Once more, in the interest of simplicity:Funny that you claim their PR campaign was no different to what went previously and simultaneously claim that it was inspired by Bethesda's proximity to Charlottesville. Can't be both chief, doublethink is dangerous
June 11th, 2017: Bethesda show "a bog standard fps trailer" (your words) about a game where you kill Nazis. This is the 11th installation in a 36 year old franchise.
June 12th, 2017: Nazis, the alt right and some Trump supporters get up in arms over said "bog standard fps trailer".
August 11-12, 2017: The Nazi march and terrorism in Charlottesville occurs. Following this, Bethesda become much more vocal in their advertising campaign.
Which again, proves the point that in this day and age, if you make a game about killing Nazis, you will have Nazi snowflakes and their sympathisers complaining that they feel offended.0 -
Not really related to anything here except the talk of Nazis.
Btw...this is a Cyberpunk thread

I was just worried they were going to remove raunchy/violent images or make token characters and 'progressive' quests to appease twitter goblins. charlottsville bigots and antifa are just two sides of the same coin and the press focused on one. Bethesda used that to their advantage in a marketing campaign. Must've been very successful judging from some previous posts here. Maybe CDPR should try it out. I wonder if this will be the song in their next trailer
