I had a friend at school we liked the same things but he went off in the fash direction and i went off in the commie direction.
I went down the Tim Curry to communist pipeline and he went down the “ironic” fascist to actual fash pipeline.
Clearly the anti commie themes were completely lost on me cos i thought it was rad as fuck
My introduction was Call of Duty 2, and I mean like the original CoD 2 released in 2005. I just thought the soviets were bad ass for protecting their homes and I knew the nazis were evil cuz they were racist invaders. It all just made sense
and look at me now ![emoji soviet-huff soviet-huff](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/fdb801ab-74b5-446f-8cec-e4d0fb994e65.png)
Lmao I sorta had the same experience with World at War and the Stalingrad missions.
Treyarch tryna tell me the red army was bad for executing surrendering nazis (probably ahistorical) and I’m like “I dunno boss, kinda based, probably doin’ 'em a favour, can’t imagine being a pow in Russia was that pleasant for a nazi”![emoji edgeworth-shrug edgeworth-shrug](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/7afb225b-0ee0-43be-aeb2-6b0fbe0ca274.png)

Libs: “The commies shot their own guys!!!” (myth) 14 year old me: Sick, that’s badass
Same. I played the first two Call of Duty games as a kid when they were released and immediately understood the Soviets to be on the right side fighting against the evil Nazi war machine. I could see they made the greatest effort and sacrifice to turn the tide, take Berlin, and end the war.
A few years later and I had a flag of Soviet Union hanging in my room.
hell yeah comrade, I bought an ushanka after playing 2![emoji soviet-huff soviet-huff](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/fdb801ab-74b5-446f-8cec-e4d0fb994e65.png)
