MontanaBlack: A ZDF report once again creates confusion among players

In the relationship from frontal21 it is clear from the start that gamers and media have had a difficult relationship with each other for years. Because in the previous period there were already problems due to a non-objective presentation of the media to the players. The magazine highlights right-wing extremists and terrorists within the gaming scene. However, gaming expert Christian Huberts admits from the start: “Gaming culture does not have a Nazi problem, but the individual subcultures of gaming culture certainly have a problem with the fact that on the one hand right-wing radicalism codes are used or that games are produced that pursue a very clear right-wing extremist agenda.. “

As frontal21 magazine seeks parallels between the gaming and the rights scene, the focus is on a game with a right-wing extremist background. This game is called “Heimat Defender” and allows you to play with characters like Björn Höcke, one of the main members of the AfD or Alex Malenki, who is a member of the extremist right-wing identity movement, against various bosses like Jan Böhmermann or das ZDF – basically mainstream media – to compete. For example, YouTuber KuchenTV thinks this comparison doesn’t make sense, according to him the game acts as a “Troll game“This just wants to get attention. Think the same about racist and anti-Semitic usernames on Steam. ZDF responded firmly to the allegations:

By the way, names like “kebabremover” and “jewkiller” leave no room for speculation – this is inhumane and that’s what we call it. Equally unfounded are the comparisons that the murderers who interpreted their actions “also eat bread”. The killers not only accidentally played video games, but integrated gamified elements into their attacks. It is a very small number of people who have caused a great deal of suffering. We think it is important to address this problem.

in addition to Streamerin Sissor came to the ZDF–Reportage also the largest in Germany Streamer MontanaBlack in front of. after Streamerin they had already confirmed that their statements in the frontal report were adapted and, in their view, taken out of context. Even such a claim could be accused of bias MontanaBlack to insert.
