Wolfenstein 3D was woke propaganda. At least that will be the official article if Trump and the right get their hands on Wikipedia like they've already said they want to.

they already said that the last couple of games
Sadly, I believe this almost without question.
W2TNC was back when they still said SJW before woke became their boogeyman word but yeah. the comments section for the trailer was full of SJW complaints because the morons who didn't even get the obvious message the first game were suddenly aware of politics when they saw a black woman in the mix.
Blasting Nazis needs no reason
But 2nd amendment states your duty as a citizen to grab a gun and defend against nazis irl?
Not for "no reason at all"
:Alt+Tab out of Wolfenstien: What?
I was actually thinking about picking it up now
It's not for no reason.

I'd love a new Wolfenstein-style game that diverges from the simple divide of giving them helmets.
It's simple morbid truth that these people are human beings, who have committed their minds to unimaginable cruelty. It'd be fun to have more games about reciprocating that cruelty.
Mortal Kombat's fatalities gave me a big ick factor when they leaned into cruelty and pain (and thankfully turned towards looney creativity to be entertaining). But I could see the former being a bit more valid when there's universal reasoning behind why it's being applied.
