The only reason racism is seen in so many occasions that actually are not meant to be racist is because butthurt people promote it whenever they can.
Claiming this banner to be racist just makes racism more popular. I bet only a very tiny amount of people even thought about Nаzis when they saw that banner.
Now that it was removed and the discussion started I bet you that many more people associate this banner with Nаzis than before. So well done Devs. You promoted racism.
Also advise to whoever feels butthurt over this banner: If timetravel was ever to be invented, do NOT go back to medieval times. Because you will see swаstikas. And not only when looking at a book about Nаzis you brought with you.
Here is a suggestion about how to avoid such bullshit in future:
Whenever someone uploads a banner for their clan, they can tick a box saying "Possibly offensive to some people"
Also give every player an option to "Censor possibly offensive banners".
Doing so will show a default banner ingame rather than the actual one.
Not ticking this box will obviously make the actual banner show ingame.
That way everybody can decide for themselves whether they want to see such banners or not. Nobody would ever have a reason to complain about banners. No banners would have to be removed anymore, and such discussion would never see the light of day.
This would obviously not affect the banner on c-RPG.net. However, if anybody easily butthurt over banners looks at a clan with such a banner, then he is a victim to his own stupidity and should be auto-muted so said person cannot make a complaint thread on the forums.
