The author exposes his biases by indicating that historically questionable accuracy in terms of racial diversity is perfectly OK but that glossing over the atrocities is NOT OK because of some phantom fear that modern day nazis will interpret it as a celebration of ... whiteness I guess. The entire thing comes across as white is bad.

Further evidence of how academically overboard he is is illustrated by the fact that he links to a video about colonialism in minecraft. I am reminded of the insufferable people I have had the displeasure of knowing in life who act like they are on the cusp of something profound when in fact they seem to be just trying to get laid. Equating actions in a video game with actual colonization is borderline perverse if you ask me.



In his defence, he titled his blog "A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry".
