Nazi emblems? Really? | Forums

Honestly, without meaning to directly offend anyone, I find the outrage about this sort of thing as weird as the emblems themselves.

Yes, the swastika was used by horrible people to represent horrible ideologies. 80 years ago. It shouldn't bother anyone when a teenager who's huffed too much Axe body spray thinks it's funny to make one an emblem. Just report, and move on. Done deal. It's against the TOS for the game anyway, everyone here is right to not like them, and report them. But threads like this just gives these Axe huffing tweens the attention they crave.

Yeah they just want attention and upset People best to report emblem and ignore them. Sending them angry message and get upset is just what they want.

I have yet to meet one and taunt them to death. It's less of a personal offense to me but more of a "I've just met with a complete jerk and won't give them any sort of decency even in a videogame". Of course reporting and blocking are included. But only after I successfully pop a nerve in their heads. Or two.

In my own case, there came a time during university days when I've read up quite a huge bit on WWI-WWII Germany. It was hella depressing. It's true that the Nazi symbol was 'borrowed' from an ancient Indian symbol and then altered in various ways, but it's very hard to notice that origin, when you look at a Swastika. Stare up at a Swastika and you only see murder and blood. Anyone who thinks dark humor is an okay thing should be slapped hard across the face. Dark humor only belongs in the deep web.

I think OP's question has been answered, and I don't see this thread going anywhere pleasant.

To reiterate, please do report offensive emblems such as this one here. Thread closed.
