MODERATORS
Yes, as that is central to your point that those games are different. You simply saying 'you know I'm right so I'm not going to argue my point' isn't an argument.
You're confusing games where bad things happen, which are within the rules and games that promote hatred of protected groups.
There are plenty of games where you, as a player, are directly responsible for atrocities. This isn't some new thing in video games.
Games can reference slavery, even the US-African slave trade, without being 'hate content'. There are numerous examples of this across all types of media. I don't think I need to go into the details, right?
Look. I'm not media illiterate and know the difference between a game telling a story, simulating something, and promoting something.
Hearts of Iron IV is not a nazi game despite a lot of them playing it.
The Yakuza/Mafia series do not encourage people to join their respective, still existing, criminal organization.
Plague Inc does not advocate for the destruction of humanity.
Plantation Simulator however does not criticize anything about skavery. It's nothing but a mockery. An equivalent would be if KZ Manager was about providing free housing and labor opportunities for various Holocaust victims.
If you make fun of historic crimes against humanities, your game is designed for those who support that crime.
