The nazi flag emoticon.

Can we get a reason to why such a harmless emoticon was removed for being to “offensive”? Does this mean saying fine upstanding member of society, or any other form of hate words is bannable now? |

Signed. It’s pretty bogus to remove that harmless emoticon when all forms of racial slurs are allowed without problem. |

Also, if the nazi emoticon is hate speech, why is Log in to see images! allowed?
That’s every bit as hateful. As is Log in to see images! |

Apparently, you need to be as cool as Mel Brooks before you’re allowed to lampoon Nazism.
Expressed as a mathematical function…

I think it’s something with the Canadian Law, not sure though. |

This. At the start of the game you have to click a bumon with the text “I am not easily offended”. If people are getting offended over this, they are going against their agreement they made when they clicked that bumon/typed those words. A nazi flag is just as offensive as Log in to see images! |

Oh No! I loved that emoticon. My schadenfreude is terribly sad now.
And…c’mon, if we gonna worry about Nazi-ism and Hate, does anyone wonder if Log in to see images! might imply that all homosexumals like to eat human feces?

Also, as Acid Flux pointed out, there are 6 different KKK avatars hosted within this game.
Why is some hate speech ok but others isn’t? |

Before it got removed, I read not one good word about the nazi flag. Now, everyone seems to miss it. Well, I submitted it and for me it’s fine to have it removed. It was not very good, technically, looking blurry and the dimensions weren’t perfect. Maybe a funny Hitler gif could take its place? Aldo_Anything edited this message on 04/04/2009 12:07PM |

If a nazi flag got removed, how is a hitler gif going to stay? The fact is, there was no good reason for the flag to be removed. |

We want to keep it because flag > nothing.
EDIT: And because there was no reason to remove it. It’s an issue of principles. Shii edited this message on 04/04/2009 12:09PM |

There may be legal reasons to remove it, even if Canadian or American law isn’t as strict as German law, when i comes to swastikas. Imagine walls of this emoticon in RP forums. Also, should it be forbidden in GD in general? A hitler gif is not as offending imo, though it depends on what it would look like. |
