A little flaw in The Entity's logic.

So we know that the Entity abducts / recruits the most evil killers / those with the most potential. We already have the huntress from the WW era, but she hardly had anything to do with the war itself. I think there's a wasted potential here. BHVR tries to avoid controversy, as it is clearly seen with the Plague having an imaginary religion. WW2 is a very sensitive subject, so I reckon they could make this killer from another dimension where there's different insignia / politics.

- "The Entity is an almighty malevolent being, travelling through the cosmos and slowly consuming worlds. "

This quote means that it is multidimensional, since it has its own realm and travels through them. So making a War Themed killer similar to this world's Nazi ideology shouldn't be that difficult or controversial. They could easily replace Nazi imagery with something of their own, that signifies war and destruction. Or they could take the Doctor Who approach with the Daleks (who're basically Nazi aliens in miniature tanks), Changing the style completely, but keeping the same ideology.

The Oni, supposedly from Asian descent, is related to the Samurais, a respected way of life for people in the past. He basically broke at one point and started going on a rampage, not something that should represent the Samurai culture. He used it for his own sick fantasies.

This War themed Killer could also be done in a similar fashion, being evil from the start and using the war as a playground, where he can instill terror into his enemies as he slaughters them in his own twisted ways, feeding into his obsession with superiority (something like the Daleks' ideology).

There are lots of different possibilities, but I think that ignoring one of the most evil things that happened in this world is a waste of potential in the Entity's eyes. We know for a fact that WW happened in The Huntress' story, so the Entity must have seen the horrors of the War. Moreover, the Entity likes to torture killers. So it's a wonderful opportunity to be able to expose this nazi'ish killer to the existence of The Huntress. Knowing your sworn enemy is just beside you, but not being able to do a thing about it can drive some people crazy, especially those like him. 

I was thinking something on the lines of a Flamethrower as a ranged weapon and Shovel as a melee weapon. Switching between these two Old-Doctor style. And the killer doesn't have to be Nazi, as I said multiple times in the post, he just needs something that actually gives him a ######### personality, like an obsession with cleanliness, but not the cleanliness that we know of, I'm talking about an obsession to clean the world of the cockroaches that are his enemies, thus the flamethrower.

    EDIT: There could also be the psychological approach: OCD, a mental illness taken to an extreme, unnervingly evil degree in this case.

    Fnaf or some creepy pasta thing would be preferred over yet another nazi thing. No. This isnt the history channel. Nazis were never scary or powerful, they were just ignorant cowardly dipshits. Next.

    Tbh the Soviets were the worst in terms of #########/pillaging/murdering civilians, but we're always talking about the germans because History is written by the Victor.

    Oh yes they are... and I absolutely agree. History is indeed written by the victor.

    And nearly took over the world with superior tactics and the most powerful army ever...Wonder how scarry would they be to you if you lived in Poland in 1939. And creepy pasta is #########. I’d rather have Mr.Tiny Mustache in the game with a frying pan than any of that fnaf like trash.

    Yeah, FNAF and Creepypastas are cringe incarnate... Can't believe I was into tha kind of stuff when I was a teenager.. Eitherway, as much as the soviet army was way more cruel than the Germans, we know for fact that some nazis were the absolute worst humanity could offer.

    nice idea overall, but when implementing into a game it would be too overpowered.

    not trying to defend nazis here, but this comment is very wrong. The nazis were both scary and powerful ( at least at the start of the war ). and i wouldnt call them cowardly. they were plenty brave. and also not all nazis are stupid [ BAD WORD ], the stupid [ BAD WORD ] were mostly the high ranking officers not the soldiers.

    Welp, since this actually got some attention... I'm of the opinion that anyone who uses fear tactics to manipulate larger groups of weak minded individuals to justify brutality on unarmed civilians, in any region at any point in history, is a pathetic coward with no honor, courage or worth. Utter garbage. And this morbid obsession with those defectives and the atrocities they committed, especially via their repeated inclusion in media in any capacity, only serves to immortalize them. And even all that aside; at this point, when it's been done a million times, across a million genres in a million different forms of media, it's old. It's boring, unimaginative, uninspired and lazy. Oh wow, a nazi. Might as well make it a zombie who traveled through time so you can complete the "Can't Write Interesting Stories for #########" unholy trinity for story telling! If I'm gonna be expected to hand over my hard earned cash, in these economically challenged times, for new content I expect some quality ######### that actually requires thought and effort put into it. Regurgitated propaganda for an IRL bunch of losers? No thanks, Im not that easily amused. Welp, that's just my take on it. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk about why you should respect yourself as a consumer of entertainment media and expect more. Ditching this thread now, peace.
