A question regarding swastikas

**macsen rufus** · 10-11-2007, 15:01

Personally, I'd love to rehabilitate the swastika from the taint of Nazism and return it to what it once was, a life-affirming symbol of light. However, I don't see the need for a game to be in the forefront of that fight, and I'd rather know the EB team were doing more of their excellent creative work on the mod than wasting time fighting off law-suits, hate mail or whatever. Maybe with EB37.0 release the world may have moved on enough, but not yet. I support the developers in their decision

Me -being a German- thinks:

- I would not want to confuse the historically correct with the political incorrect. In my eyes it is 2 kinds of shoes. I think all the EB members understood that...Well, most if i recall some minor intelligent posts by a tiny minority of people in the community.

Back to topic: It may well be, that if some random person checks pictures in the web or a parent looks at the screen of little son's monitor...they may think "What the heck?". On a second look every minor intelligent person should get the idea that a half-naked, tunika-pimping and Javelin throwing freak with long hair was not your average Wehrmachts- or SS Übersoldat...in case any existed.

- Besides that: I just outright hate the people wearing the symbol. In fact it is the only category of people i generalize in a negative way...oh, and people chatting and swimming next to each other in crowded public pools, but that's a different story.

- Plus: I just do not like the design....so I don´t wanna/have to have it in the game....

Idiots are more plentiful than those possessing even minor quantities of intelligence, and they're much more loud and annoying.
