    Tired of seeing SS and nazi symbols on emblems

    Do what overwatch does and remove custom emblems. Don't give the trolls more tools. It's ruining the game, I don't want to play with anybody who has an emblem like this. And make it easier to report bad emblems and quit before the game starts. Right now I have to sit in a multiplayer lobby for minutes until I can report and find another game.

    I played the division when it came out, so this account is not new despite having a single post. Seeing nazi symbolism in my games pissed me off enough to make my first forum post.

    Its not ruining the game.

    Its ruining your game experience maybe, but not mine.

    Report them and be done with it. Not that hard.

    What's your point? It's new because I haven't posted to ubisoft forums before today. I have no alternate ubisoft accounts. Devs, please allow people to report others and leave matchmaking before the match begins when you don't wish to play with a trolling asshat.

    If you honestly are bothered that much by that you need to get some thicker skin. Your reaction is exactly what these people are looking to get. They aren't actual nazis, they are trolls. By overreacting like this (and yes, you ARE overreacting) you are doing nothing but feeding them. Just because it's distasteful doesn't mean it's some horribly illegal act. Reporting them is one thing, but complaining you have to wait mere minutes to quit the match because they have a symbol that you find offensive? Get over yourself.

    I guess I'll be "that" guy... If you're so sensitive to something that happened over half a century ago, there's something wrong. Many, many symbols have been used by people who have done wrong and/or committed genocide. Communists committed genocides (Mao's and Stalin's purges of political enemies and persecution of Christianity/religion), yet I don't see anyone complaining about the hammer and sickles or the 5 starred red flag. Crusaders flew under the banner of the cross as they committed atrocities, but the Cross is accepted? Or is it not?. The crescent and star are fine, even though there's the Armenian genocide and terrorism? You're presumably fine with the Japanese flag even though they killed over 10 million Chinese in the most brutal ways imaginable?

    If you can't enjoy a game because you see a symbol, perhaps the fault doesn't lie with the symbol or the game. You'd be better suited, I think, accommodating to the world you live in, than forcing it to accommodate to you. In other words, perhaps just toughen up instead of limited our freedoms? This isn't to say no emblems should be disallowed, but rather than removing customizable emblems as a whole sounds reactionary and selfish.

    My skin is plenty thick. I'd have to be braindead and ignorant of history to tolerate nazi trash. Trolls don't deserve your defense, and trolls who employ nazi symbolism are worse than trash. They may use this trash just to piss people off, but that doesn't make the use of nazi symbolism okay or even slightly tolerable. Describing nazi symbolism as something "I" find offensive is telling only half the story -- rather nazi symbolism is objectively offensive to polite society. The very existence of nazi symbolism is half the reason you can report offensive emblems.

    Devs, nazi symbolism is ruining my game experience. I shouldn't continue to be matched with people with emblems i've already reported. How can your emblem editor just allow nazi symbolism?
