Rules

Don't use other people's copyrighted material

Nazis are bad

Do not make a game that endorses violence against people who don't explicitly advocate fascism or white nationalism. This is not a games vs. Republicans jam. That means violence against MAGA-hat-wearers is not OK. Violence against jerks sporting Hitler youth haircuts, skinhead punks with neo-nazi symbols, actual WWII Nazis is fair game. Use your best judgement; being cute about this rule won't win you any points with the judges.

Do not depict any real person alive today being killed
