obermeijer Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 How on earth is it possible to accept something like a Nazi-flag on the Nexus forums, I wonder ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMilla Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Are prop makers and costume designers involved in filmmaking banned from creating Nazi props and costumes for WW II movies? The same rationale is employed here. As long as the mod itself does not glorify or promote Nazi ideologies, it is given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to be hosted here.

Moraelin Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 You have to understand that nazis are actually the antagonists for some mods. E.g., most of the Hellsing OVA is about fighting nazis. So some people used uniforms and flags in NV for example, to put on a Hellsing uniform and fight AGAINST them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wax2k Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) He's probably from Germany (so am I). Here, using this (and some other related) symbol in public is against the law, no matter the context. There's some exceptions to it (like the aforementioned historic movies for example), but hosting a mod like the one he refers to on a german server would lead to a lawsuit pretty quick. I as well had to grow accustomed to the fact that this is handled differently outside of Germany. Edited January 24, 2016 by wax2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted2948850User Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Here in the Netherlands it's just against the law to wear a swastika on your sleeve and waving your arms around in a 'Sieg Heil' manner. Don't think it's against the law here if used in a fashion that doesn't actually promote Naziism (i.e. games, movies, etc.). Either way, I'm not against the use of Nazi symbols either, so long as they're not used to promote Naziism or hatred or anything. It's a big part of our recent history after all.

Boombro Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't care about them whatever myself as long as there no crimes. Freedom of speech and creativity doesn't always mean sugar and rainbows after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker01 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The best thing you did for the mod author OP, was bring attention to it, so it would get downloads. GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavkiel Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 *shrugs* Personally I am of the opinion that more content for the game is a good thing. How else can we ever get to kill space nazis in fallout? (Preferably on the moon, riding dinosaur with lasers coming out of its eyes.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The depiction of Nazi heraldry in a historical manner is not wrong. However, using it to promote Nazi ideology is very wrong. There are far too many in the world who still embrace this ideology and are hoping to restart what the world stamped out some 80 years ago.
