I have never seen an Indiana Jones movie. Well, thats not entirely true. I got my parents to rent one of them for me from the video store and wanted to watch it because it seemed like everyone else was very into it, watched it up until one guy pulled some other guys heart out of his chest, freaked out, and had nightmares for many years afterwards. But even I know enough about Indiana Jones to know that he is an archaeologist who fights Nazis and wears a distinctive hat.
Alas, it seems that this is not something that was known to Charlie Kirk fans on the site formerly known as Twitter, who are currently outraged by the fact that Bethesda, a video game company, released a trailer for their new Indiana Jones game content in which Dr. Jones disparaged fascists
to a cat.
Bethesda deleted the tweet with the clip, but recordings of it are floating around. You dont care much about these fascists, do you? he says, giving it a little pet.
Clearly, these folks were unaware that cats are all, in fact, antifa. Which means of course that cats have all just been declared a major terrorist organization. But we are talking about something serious here, which is this video game.
The clip is from a game called Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and was meant to serve as a promo for The Order of Giants DLC, a downloadable addition to the game, in which Indiana Jones goes to Italy during World War II and ends up fighting the fascists.
Fire this person or face consequences, read a tweet from right-wing podcast The Quartering.

(6,364 posts)Indiana Jones has been around for ever. Its been decades since I went to a movie theater, longer since I watched TV, and my interests online are tiny. How can anyone in this country not know about Indiana Jones and the Nazis? Na, they know. They all lie as easily as trump. They just use and abuse anything they want.
