stromfront research

After looking through hundreds of posts on Stromfront looking for what white nationalist think of video games one thing came out clear. They love video games, more importantly they prefer games with violence. I was very surprised by a few things though. My thought about them playing games was that they preferred games that were specifically made for white nationalist (i.e. ethnic cleansing) but rather they like mainstream games that incorporate a main character that is white and the game is to kill basically anyone even if it is not what the intentions of the game is.

 For example, the game grand theft auto, having played the game before there is actually a plot to the game where you have to travel the city and complete "levels" in order to complete the game. For a white nationalist playing the game there is a completely different objective. They see the game as a way to play a white character and kill as many minorities, pay cops off for killing minorities and paying the white women for sex.

This isnt just the case for Grand Theft Auto, games that are often talked about on stormfront include, duke nukem and mafia. These games have all came out on major gaming platforms.

Another game that was for PC which I could not find the name for was really popular because you are based in Nazi Germany and the object of the game was to conquer all of Europe. As history has shown us, when the Nazis took over Europe they also put all the Jews into concentration camps where many million were killed for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

  1. Why do you think there is a preference for mainstream games over white nationalist produced games? What does this tell us about "the extreme" and the mainstream? How does the interactive nature of games allow for use of "mainstream" games to advance a white nationalist agenda and imagination?
