you guys ever stop to think that if there's a jewlish guy playing crpg he might get slightly offended by the use of a sworrsticker ?

the thing is that the vast majority of us on this game are not indians who use this symbol as part of their religion or culture, to them it probably means peace love and puppies, but as far as i am concerned, and the vast majority of westerners are concerned, it is an instantly recognisable reminder of one the most disgusting acts in recent human history and it is just fucking offensive.

Remove the flag pls.

we are not saying that this swast!ka means to us what it means to indians and celtics, but we are saying that it doesnt mean to us what it meant to the naz!s. We all know how the naz! symbol looked like, and this flag has resemblence of it but its not the naz! symbol that some people think it is. Its just a sign from some kind of random culture that we dont care about what it stands for, its like wearing  any other symbol.

You wrote that lame white-knight post without even bothering to check what the whole deal is about? Well done.

[highglandeur]

You got the point: symbols have different meanings for different people.
Arrogance or lack of knowledge may lead you to believe the meaning it has to you is the one and only, but it's not how everyone feels about it.
Symbols that can be offensive should be avoided, at least to prevent this kind of painfull display of stupidity in the forum.

You are saying we should just push everything behind some curtains, just so that, jah forbid, we don't offend some skinless muppet somewhere on the internet?
Because, you know, everything is offensive to someone sufficiently ignorant.

[highglandeur]

Just take a step back, not everything is offensive to someone, that banner however could be offensive to millions, ignorant or not.

[Araxiel]

What puppy clan?

[[ptx]]

You telling me, that the culture of my ancestors is offensive and somehow related to a horrible political movement of the 20th century, is highly offensive to me. Please stop?

[Malaclypse]

that banner however could be offensive to millions, ignorant or not.

And they'll all be playing cRPG to see it.

Look at the banner, then look at a typical Not-see logo. They're facing different directions. Clearly different, I don't see where all the confusion exists.

[highglandeur]

Your country, your culture, and also mine, are in fact linked to that political movement through a few symbols such as this one. Sorry if you can't get over it.
