You're really, really craving for attention, aren't you?
...usually I don't bother with this idiotic "I dun unrurstand lol lmao XD haha" conveying "I expect you to waste your time explaining obvious shit over and over while I pretend to not understand what you say". But since I'm in a really good mood, just this once I'll bite. I don't think that you're able to follow either, but other users will and I think that this is a good example of the problem with witch hunters.
"But gassing vermin!!11 Infestation! lol" - then find some elements prompting the player to conflate the vermin with Jewish people, or any other victim of the Holocaust. Things like this:
Do it. Find those elements. Or elements that are similar in spirit. The burden of the proof is in the one claiming the connection, in this case you.
Without those elements, gassing vermin is simply gassing vermin, and the one creating the association between vermin and Jewish people is you, not the devs.
"88 gives it context" - nope. You need to link them. If they were showing that 88 with fireworks right after you got rid of a rat, then perhaps it would give you the context to interpret that rat as a Jewish person.
Also worth repeating that this association is undesirable for the developers, as shown by the fact that they changed the name of the game to "Infestation: Origins". But hey, this contradicts your assumption, and it prevents you from rolling in certainty like a pig would roll in filth, so it gets "conveniently" (dishonestly) ignored, right?
The above is already enough to address your idiotic point. But I'll go further, because I'm predicting that you're going to grasp at straws.
"But the Discord..." - they already paused discussions there until they get better moderation; that shows that they do not condone whatever was happening there. (They probably got some nazi with the same sort of reading comprehension as you [zero] assuming that he was in good company.)
"But all those pieces of evidence in Twitter! So many things, it must be a sure sign!" The "evidence" being shared there is ridiculous:
This is numerology tier idiocy.
Yeah, sure - pick anything written, shuffle it enough, omit some characters, be very accepting on what you're matching it with, and you'll get whatever you want out of it.
Not only "13 is close to 14, this must be a sign of an enemy Stand!" is already a silly stretch on its own, but the date being displayed in the picture doesn't even follow that idiotic M/D/Y order. It's displayed in Y/M/D (1988 Oct, 13). Good motherfucking luck associating 88/10/13 with 14/88.
This was as a reply to a screenshot showing In the year 1988, what was thought to be an outbreak of vermin in varioues locations morphed into something far more sinister. Infestation 88 is an episodic, 1-4 player co- [cut off]
...do I really need to highlight how fucking stupid this is? 1-4 players is fairly common in games, and the text in the screeshot does no effort to align that "1-4" in a way that you'd read "1-4 88". The one doing it is actually Fagundes himself.
More numerology tier crap.
As a reply to "Let's also not forget Disney himself was an anti-Semite."
If the devs are supposed to be anti-Semite, then why the hell would they represent the brainfart of an anti-Semite as the enemy???
Says the guy with his massive triggered wall of text rant full of straw man arguments. 🤡
You wanted me to explicitly address your point; I did, and now you're losing your marbles over the fact that I did??? Also, look up what "straw man" means, as you're clearly ignorant on that.
My sides went into orbit. Congratulations for shooting your own foot.
What were you saying back then again? Something about "Tankie user defends obvious Nazi dog whistles."? Well, guess what - you just used a Nazi dog whistle.
You didn't address anything but instead brought up all the various talking points you could think of, which you've already covered in your various comments in this thread - again. And I'm sorry, but me losing my marbles? Even more shit you make up in your head. Maybe stop the mental gymnastics and find your way back to reality.
