So you don't have a problem with Nazi ideology, which as I pointed out is banned in most countries for being inherently violent, but you have a problem with DaedalusMachina here expressing their own personal leanings.

Let me further point out that holding specific ideologies is a choice. Skin color, sexual orientation, disabilities, or other things that set people apart... those aren't choices. That's why the latter are always protected, while the former may not be.

You have a right to publish games here that support certain ideologies. And other people have a right to have strong opinions about them.

"Let me further point out that holding specific ideologies is a choice. Skin color, sexual orientation, disabilities, or other things that set people apart... those aren't choices. That's why the latter are always protected, while the former may not be."

if a white person is called a nazi just for their skin color, do they get the same racial protection as a black person?

I'd rather no answer hypothetical questions like that. Are you aware of a specific situation here? Note that if someone is called a Nazi for something they said, their skin color isn't relevant to the conversation. Doubly so as we can't see each other's skin color here, so unless two people know each other from elsewhere, there's no way for that to become a factor.

important question: what definition of "nazi" are we working under here?

there's a very good chance we're  working on two  separate definitions right now, and things will probably go to shit if we're arguing while completely misunderstanding what the other person thinks the qualifier entails

You might want to answer that question first, since you brought up the word before I did. That said:

  1. There's a broadly accepted definition of the term. I refuse to rules-lawyer and look up exact wording in dictionaries.
  2. Speaking of rules-lawyering, we can't and won't make detailed rules for every little thing that may or may not be acceptable on Itch. Broad guidelines rooted in common decency suffice to most people in most situations.

"common decency" doesn't exist anymore, dude. its a culture war. i think instead i'll just email support asking for your freedom of speech policies in writing.

i've just had someone imply i'm "lower then a cockroach", that i'm a "punching bag of society", and "rightly deserve every bit of scorn, spew, and spite thrown in their fucking faces."

i'm suddenly worried now that someone from this website will make the decision that i qualify as a "nazi", and that they will doxx me, and punch me for this. antifa is known to do this. this is a real concern.

i'm not okay with that. it feels like anything remotely right-wing can have "nazi" applied to it, to make you and the mod team promptly delete it.

please do get in contact here if you can officially mark out what a nazi is though. until then, i do not have faith in you and this website fairly enforcing rules. i don't even have faith in this website anymore, despite putting in effort over months to build a presence here.

this is what i get for being diplomatic. apparently the answer is "no".

Let me help clear things up, you can make the game into whatever idea you have but if you use some type of ways to harm users you could get banned or tracking users is also a way to get suspended. You can follow the Content quality guidelines (https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines) or you can not. If you follow the guidelines your idea and game stay but not following it doesn't mean your game is remove, most likely hidden from everyone (call it censorship if you like).

DaedalusMachina is a user who always gets in trouble for thinking the community rules is too lax which kinda is lax. No one will really know who you are unless they do research on your profile which by that time the user is most likely breaking the community rules.

I do not know the answer to your question but i hope one of the adams can tell us.

edit: good news, someone at voat (yes i go there too) found the infomation and you maybe can not. https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms#3-acceptable-use

The rules

  • Posting content that promotes or participates in racial intolerance, sexism, hate crimes, hate speech, or intolerance to any group of individuals;
  • Violating any applicable laws or regulations.

These two might be a problem for right, left, racial, terror groups, etc. I think this is your answer.
