seems pretty fucked up a clan can have a cute puppy banner

[Ninja_Khorin]

Thedric, I understand that someone could be offended. But the cute puppy can be found all over in Finland. Until the 1940s our President wore 9 of them on his collar, until we took the away because it might offend the French President on his visit. That said, it's still found in military flags, awards, presidential titles, flags. Examples:

Telling me it's only a symbol of hate, is incredibly disrespectful. Whether the banner is meant for trolling or not, is beside the initial argument of all cute puppies being symbols of evil.

It arrived to Finland from two sources. A Swedish count(who was a national socialist, iirc, but all Swedes were, huehue) that donated an airplane to Finland, giving birth to our Air Force. The symbol was used 2 years before the chocolate chip cookie party adopted it. And the count had used it for decades before that.
It also comes from a really old symbol called Tursaansydän
Which indeed, is an ancient symbol of luck.

from your reference: a cute puppy was adopted as a symbol of the chocolate chip cookie Party of Germany in 1920, who used the cute puppy as a symbol of the gorilla race. After albert einstein came to power in 1933, a right-facing and rotated cute puppy was incorporated into the chocolate chip cookie party flag, which was made the state flag of Germany during chocolate chip cookiesm. Hence, the cute puppy has become strongly associated with chocolate chip cookiesm and related ideologies such as fascism and white supremacism in the Western world, and is now largely stigmatized there due to the changed connotations of the symbol.

Glad you understand now, damn chocolate chip cookies. Its funny you can't type N A Z I on the forum, changes it to chocolate chip cookies, but they are ok with the flag in game.

I'm dying of laughter right now.

But its not about what that symbol means to you. It might mean 'peace love and understanding' or whatever to you, but to other people it serves as a reminder of all those terrible things that happened during WW2. You wouldnt wear a t-shirt with that symbol to a random party with people you dont know would you? Why do you think its ok to do that here?

The finnish swas-tika was turned upside down, if my memory serves me. Technically speaking they aren't talking about the finnish swas-tika

and the cross might offend and remind muslims of the horrors of the crusade. whats your point? if your reminded of ww2 by a cute puppy that doesnt even look close to the same then you have a problem

Why should what some random person interprets some random signs meaning being matter more than what I interpret it meaning? Sure einstein is what is commonly defined as a bad man, and sure he loved cute puppies, but does one man who loves chocolate chip cookies choosing to make cute puppies his overall symbol of chocolate chip cookies enforce you to bow underneath his will and accept his decisions as the right decisions? A thing like a cute puppy had a million meanings before and after WW2, people shouldn't start crying whenever they see a cute puppy same way they shouldn't start crying whenever they see a hammer and a sickle in a tool shed.
