Oh man, there's a great dark joke response to this but I don't wanna get banned or perpetuate conspiracies.
Well now I gotta know.
Being able to kill Margret Thatcher in Doom is the most morally acceptable thing you could ever possibly do. It's a game about blasting demons and fucking shit up in Hell, ain't it?
Sounds like it fits Doom perfectly
It's so funny how hated this woman still is, keep it going brits lmao
I'm not super well versed in British politics but isn't she basically the British Ronald Regan?
And if you're not familiar with Reagan, let's just say I hope Trump gets buried next to him so I can piss on both their graves at the same time.
Haha, I didn't know that it's as bad with Reagan as Thatcher!
She went to war with unions and the working class. Destroyed workers rights, used the police to antagonise and dismantle strikes, left towns and cities in economic decline. She screwed a LOT of people. Many hate her here.
Don't forget about privatising British Rail, turning one of the best rail systems in the world into complete shambles
Iirc Reagan did that with prisons
Before I say anything else I’ll make it clear I think the for profit prison system is one of the worst atrocities modern humans are responsible for, but…
Whether it works depends entirely on which end you’re on. The owners would say it’s not in shambles at all but working exactly as intended.
Yeah I suppose you're right,
The intent is literal slave labor, and they got that down pretty well.
I meant the part about Reagan, not Thatcher.
Oh yeah, I see now. I misread that.
It's funny because for the last four years Republicans have been complaining about the current president's cognitive ability (which one could argue has some credit, but that depends on who you ask), but in 1994, six years after Ronald Regan, the single most "conservative" president until Trump came around, was fucking diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. The National Institute of Health did a study on his speeches and manarisms in the last few years of his presidency.
President Reagan showed a significant reduction in the number of unique words over time and a significant increase in conversational fillers and non-specific nouns over time.
(Full transparency, I only read the abstract.)
In 2011, his son came out and said he noticed his father's declining mental state as early as his first term.
Goddamn it Todd, you want it as Skyrim mod, don't you?
So Wolfenstein is fair game because that's clearly satire, with roided up, mecha Nazis, but this is bad because... robot Thatcher? Sure, that makes sense.
How is Bethesda doing literally anything about what people are doing to Doom?
They just removed it from their mod loader in the recent re-release.
Sounds like a reason to not use their mod loader. Forget nanny software.
I mean, just play a source port.
i think the mod loader is for a console release.
What is the different between Tories and demons? What about Thatcher looking like the Spiderdemon?
