bben46 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Everyone is offended by something. If we make it a policy to remove everything that offends someone for any reason, then there would be no mods at all. While the Nazi symbolism is offensive to many people, it is not illegal under the laws we operate under. There are games where the symbolism is all over - check out any of the Wolfenstein series. Should we also ban the Japanese Imperial chrysanthemum symbol? because it was used by the Japanese during WWII. How about the Italian Fasces symbol of the WWII Fascist party in Italy? It also appears on the obverse of the older US dime coin. In the arms of the chair that Lincoln's statue sits on in the Lincoln Memorial, is included in the decorations of many US courthouses and featured prominently on the podium in the US House of Congress. :rolleyes: (much to the delight of certain conspiracy theorists) Just because someone requested this does not necessarily make them either a Nazi sympathizer or evil. Attempting to get them discredited, or harassing them can get YOU banned. BTW, that bayonet in the last pic is Japanese and not Nazi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosu Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) I'm wondering that moderation is okay with "censorship is for f@&#!ts", but yeah - in the end it's your site. Btw, if you want such a sword (since i don't think anyone will do this stuff) - possibly you find an Assassin's Creed influenced mod because this sword is pretty much the same: http://www.cbswords.com/images/883015big.jpg Edited March 21, 2014 by ghosu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghosu Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) I'm not making fuss about "this"...i don't care for the Nazi stuff. I like the design myself but not the sybolism and the history MOST people connect with it- but since it's permitted in most countries on this planet AND the site owner is okay with it there won't be anyone that stops you, so be my guest. You know, most people that want Nazi stuff want it because they are dump facicsts. Not all of course, some want it because of the design/style (like me) so i'm sure it's okay with you IF (!) someone picks up the request to replace the symbol. BUT I'm sure you are one of these that are just historical correct people that want the best of both worlds, symbol AND design! :wink: ...but I'm no fan of the f@&#!t comment. You know, that's stuff the first group of people i mentioned above would say. And btw i even gave a tipp how to find such a sword (and tbh i think that's the best you might get in this thread, there are not many active modders around, especially ones that model stuff) so yeah...

ghosu Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Everyone knows. that the symbol existed before and has other meanings as well. BUT on THIS weapons it has only one meaning...don't even start with this, that's an insult to everyone's intelligence. As mentioned above, i don't care...mainly because i'm tired of such discussions. You know, i'm from Austria and i hear stuff like that quite often. I'm okay with the thread (I don't like it, but its not against law/site rules)Your f@&#!t comment is the dumb part that is not appropriate, Edited March 21, 2014 by ghosu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your f@&#!t comment is the dumb part that is not appropriate.I didn't say it wasent a Nazi sword I only said that the swastika existed before national socialism and yes censorship is f@&#!try you believe what you want and ill believe what I want I don't think "f@&#!try" means what you think it means. --Moto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosu Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) I just can repeat myself, i don't care for the Nazi stuff but i simply have to reply every time you mention it: The other meanings of the Swastika are not part of the topic - in connection to this thread there is only one meaning, so i really don't understand why you even mention that. Well, it's hard to explain my problem because english is not my native language. When you say "censorship is for f@&#!ts" aka "xxx is for yyy" you normally mean that something bad (like censorship) is something for idiots, just replacing the "idiots" with any other group you dislike. f@&#!try is a negative term that reffers to gay people. I'm really no starry-eyed political correct idealist, but hell it's 2014, i really don't want to see statements like that on a modding board - and that has got nothing to do what you or i believe, that's just a matter of fact. Of course you will call that censorship as well, but in my opinion there is something like a line that sane people just shouldn't cross in public. Whatever, there is no purpose to continue that stuff, just a waste of time and words so I'm out of the thread.

Solfall Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If you're offended by this, don't download this mod if it is released. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
