    This. Cryptofascism relies on being able to scream, “It was just a joke / I didn’t know!”

    Mistakes can happen and you might accidentally engage in a dog whistle as a normal person.

    A dozen mistakes all pointing to the exact same thing are unlikely.

    And to be fair, it could be one person at the top putting all these wink wink indicators in, and the majority involved might just be normal folks.

    I still won’t be buying the game.
