*Cannot* emphasize this enough. Instead you can 1) counter fascist narratives and claims on your own, from afar in a distinct venue, NEVER making it a "conversation", and 2) engage them in private one-on-one, not in online "debate" for screencaps, but providing avenues out. https://twitter.com/KHandozo/status/1345857723502497793 …

This is the absolute minimum for antifascism, the absolute minimum expectation for all anarchists. We do not get into twitter threads debating whether white people have a "telekinesis gene", we don't go on the fucking BBC to talk it out. We block, we mock, we critique from afar.

Is it ok if I make a video game in which people debate fascists, or is that just smuggling in the debate itself?

I mean it *could* be a decent way to beat up on fascists, but far more likely are you to run afoul of the "can't parody fascism" dynamic whereby, okay cool, 99% of your audience realizes the fash is a dopey fool. That just means you convinced 1% of your audience to be fascists.

Right but I intend to make a series of five games, so it would be 0.01 * 0.01 * 0.01 * 0.01 * 0.01

That's not how it works. The, for lack of a better word, stupidest motherfuckers in any audience are going to agree with the straw-fascist every fucking time, so repeatedly beating up a straw-fascist only creates fascists.

Well I mean, what if they become so enamoured with my franchise that I can get them under one roof and then shoot them. Like a honeypot. There has to be a justification for this goddamnit, I've been working on it since 2010.

well i mean i can't speak to every portrayal or parody, I'm just saying what is almost always the case there *can* be portrayals that net hurt fascists, Skin is an absolutely solid film that does more good than harmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_(2018_feature_film) …

What if I, uhh. Don't...commercially release it. And just disseminate it solely among intelligent people. Like a kind of Samizdat. My estimation is that by the time I'm able to produce it, the cost of doing so will be minimal anyway. Right now I'm just focused on writing it.
