Wolfenstein II really says abused children will inherit the earth by stepping on the mangled corpses of their parents and I think that's beautiful

Back to Wolfenstein Castle on my 486DX25.

I did not remember the anti-copy warning screen when leaving the game 😅

Wolfenstein 3D (1992)

[notaplaceofhonour]

Wolfenstein could have just been a dumb cathartic game series about a jacked blonde dude killing nazis and I would’ve loved it for that—and for most of its existence it was that—but I just can’t stop thinking about what it’s like to be BJ Blazkowicz. not “Billy the Butcher”, not the Nazi-killer, but the man (if you will, the mensch)

what is it like to be BJ Blazkowicz, a Jewish boy whose abusive gentile father ensured he never got to be raised Jewish, whose only connection to the Jewish people for most of his life was his mother, to be BJ Blazkowicz who fought Nazis not because of who he was but because he had a body that could and a duty to do it? what is it like to be BJ Blazkowicz, who lost his ability to fight when he needed it the most, locked in the prison of his own body, rotting away as the world rotted around him, who woke up a Jewish man in a world all-but-empty-of-Jews as the Nazis came for him, not even knowing he was Jewish but because he was disabled? what is is like to be BJ Blazkowicz, a Jew who had to break into a concentration camp, whose body bears the trauma of that place in every cell to its very core, only visible as numbers on his skin, who cut those numbers off himself without anesthesia to free himself from the reminder? What is it like to be BJ Blazkowicz, longing for connection to a way of life he can no longer participate in, and yet embodying its survival in his very existence, eager to learn from the few fellow Jews he can find? What is it like to be BJ Blazkowicz, a Jewish man severed from his Jewish body, his body stolen by Nazis, only to be replaced by a constructed body not his own—as un-Jewish and un-human as it could be, grown in a lab by Nazis—and yet fundamentally Jewish, developed with technology stolen from Jews, stolen back by Jews, to make him a golem—what is it like to live in that contradiction? What is it like to have lived through all that hell, and then to raise daughters who are able to laugh and play in peace, in spite of everything? What is it like to be BJ Blaskowicz, a Holocaust survivor, an American golem, fighting for the survival of his people for so long and finally stepping into a synagogue for the first time in his life, learning the prayers he couldn’t learn before, that he didn’t think to learn before he was afraid he couldn’t? What is it like to be the meat-head man of action falling head over heels in love with learning for the first time—learning our history, our culture, learning Hebrew, learning Yiddish, learning what it is to be Jewish?

what is it like to be a guardian made in our image, to protect us and lead us forward—golem and messiah? what is it like to be BJ Blazkowicz?

A detail I like about Wolfenstein: New Order is that at the Nazi super duper air and space research facility, they have a big statue out front, and instead of making it another instance of Deathshead, their nazi super scientist OC do not steal, they used Werner Von Braun, actual real life nazi super scientist (comparatively) who famously finagled his way out of getting charged for war-crimes by agreeing to help the americans with their war-crimes space program I mean space program, the success of which earned him quite a lot of contemporary praise and good press. The man was featured in freaking DISNEY.

I just really like the commentary of a man greatly praised in America during the 50s and 60s, receiving the same honors in the Nazi-victory timeline of the same era because he never had a reason to stop being a nazi.

You are strong, Billy. We are survivors, you and I. We keep fighting even when we do not know how.

[bigbloatedbellyboi]

Someone at MachineGames while they were developing Wolfenstein II clearly had a pregnant fetish and were NOT subtle about it...

I don't mind though 😏🫢🤤

[many-bees]

It's kinda funny that this meme features Doomguy specifically considering that he's descended from a guy who witnessed Ronald Reagan get shot to death by Hitler on Venus
