Defy Godwin is a comedic work of interactive fiction and a realistic forum simulator.
Godwin's Law: As a discussion on the Internet goes on, the probability of a comparison to Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches 1.
Amidst a war of rhetoric, you are but an internet forum moderator - the impartial paramedic of a digital battlefield. With a new corporate leadership buying out your home base @ Hyperlink Heaven, your mission is now to appease advertisers by preventing users from invoking Nazism (and thus Godwin's Law). Slap and exile in your vain attempt to stifle their discussions' inevitable conclusion. Use your wit and read between the lines to end these battles before they even start.

DISCLAIMER: The creators of this game UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSE white supremacy and Nazism. Defy Godwin was created to satirize internet forums, and their wanton *misuse* of these subjects. The characters portrayed in this game do not represent the views of any involved parties.
Edit: uploading the first bugfix (22/4/4, t+5ish hours after jam ends) of what probably will be a series of fixes to posts that currently should (but don't) or currently shouldn't (but do) trigger the proper events to occur. And to typos.
