but you kill Nazis in Sniper Elite and we've all seen that Republicans won't even denounce Nazis, let alone kill them.

This here triggered them so hard but since the previous came out in 2014 it got a pass. What happened between the release of The New Order (2014) and The New Collosus (2016)..? ๐Ÿค”

I saw an interesting post somewhere recently where they argued that Sniper Elite was not anti Nazi because it specifically promotes stealth and non lethal methods (against Nazis). Couldn't say much for sure myself; I tried playing 4 a little but it didn't grab me at the time.

I disagree about promoting non-lethal methods. I have all of them except the first one and the slow-mo x-ray camera of my bullets shredding Nazi brains are frequent and graphic.
