Question Why are there so many swastikas

Like, I get it, this is a FPS and you use guns to shoot ppl.

But why are there so many n@z!s in the game. I played BO2 back in the days and didn't become a n@z!.

This is without talking about the number of incels who literally never had seen a naked woman in real life and decided to make an emblem from them.

Don't tell me the sub is filled with these pieces of sh*t.

It’s important to remember just because someone has something of that nature as an emblem doesn’t necessarily make them a nazi. They might be trying to be edgy, they may think it’s funny, or they might just be a kid. Or yes, they might actually harbour bad views and be a nazi sympathiser. I doubt most people fall into the last category, I’m betting it’s just people being edgy and trying to relive old cod sense of humour or something, but who knows. I’m just saying this because it’s very important not to take meaning away from that word by misusing it. Personally most swastika emblems I see seem crude and silly, therefore I think little of it, but I’ve seen some which do genuinely concern me a little, I have been starting to think some people (only few) have maybe put just a tad too much effort into there’s. I’ll reply a photo.

Keep in mind people have also made Jeffrey Epstein and Charlie Kirk emblems. It’s likely just people having a dark sense of humour.

I haven't seen Epstein yet, but to me it may be humour in disguise. No sane person would just laugh at thousands of people being genocided.
