I took the "100" part to be that someone was mocking the people who were happy the Nazi/racist symbolism was being addressed by management.

Obviously we only have the article to go off of, but the symbols/ numbers mentioned are definitely Nazi symbols, so if there were a bunch of those symbols (all on one single room I might add) that absolutely seems suspect

Technically, I could understand that... IF the in-game character living in that room, were supposed to be a Nazi sympathizer. Otherwise, it's a clear dog whistle.

Otherwise, rules have changed, and that symbology would no longer get the game insta-banned in Germany... as long as it was only used "in an artistic way":

As someone who has played through that game 3.5 times (I'm in the middle of another playthrough right now) I can say with high degree of confidence that I have never noticed any nazi memes ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I'll look for them specifically??? But I'm already pretty aware of that sort of thing because I'm in a group that nazis hate. I think I would have noticed and quiet literally would have been like "what the hell is this shit?" OR I would have attributed that kind of writing too an actual perhaps racist character in the town, but I haven't felt that way either. I just don't know what they're talking about, again as somebody who's played the game three times.

I may be wrong, but I believe it is in an upcoming game, not True Colors

Hmm ๐Ÿ˜’ well if that's so, it's possible. But yeah, not in True Colors. I feel like I would have noticed. I will keep a watchful eye as I finish this next playthrough

Thought I read that, so I double checked. It is mentioned in the first paragraph that it is the next entry in the series, not an existing title.
