>>27373I don't see any evidence of that, unless you make the faulty assumption that "nobody would enjoy RPing as a Nazi unless they were actually a Nazi" which is just as stupid as "Someone playing Farming, Truck Driving, Power Washing etc..Sim either wants to or is capable of/training to do these behaviors as their occupation". Likewise any sort of "Anyone who RPs a cop in GTA Online RP servers, or even a dirty cop, must be in favor of police brutality in real life! Why you would ever take on such a role if you were not an evil person!" nonsense.
I don't want to list the particular server group here that I looked into the community (I am actually inclined to grab GMOD on sale just so I can see how it actually plays out in person and if it differs from what is on the community site) as I don't trust people here not to harass them, but I dont' see anything that suggests its serious "Actual Nazi or Cryptonazi losers", its a very comprehensive RP , including saboteur and resistance factions and a lot of civilian, commercial, and bureaucratic roles even on the Nazi side that are not the kind of thing the usual roles those who seriously support the ideology usually want to take on. You don't see a lot of hardcore Nazis chomping at the bit in order to make Gerhart Dummkopf, a mid level manager at a textiles factory stamping papers and ensuring boxes get loaded to take processed cloth to varying other fabrication plants or something.
Outside of either "Everyone who plays this is a real Nazi!" or "Well, real Nazis will eventually come play and like it therefore we can't have that" equally inaccurate and fallacious rationale, I don't see any reason to be upset about this conceptually

Everyone's fun must stop to PROTECT
_ and after all something BAD really shouldn't be fun in the
