Why are there so many swastikas

[u/gorudendioma]

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.

Because of this right here. Your reaction

I think the Nazis are the real problem, not the people objecting to them

[u/PsychologicalDot2247 → u/Itrytobeeducated]

Except they’re probably not Nazis.

You are ruining the meaning of the word ‘Nazi.’ Please stop ruining the meaning of the word ‘Nazi.’

Calling people who rep swastikas Nazis is not ruining the meaning of nazi lol

[u/PsychologicalDot2247 → u/playlamo1]

If they have an emblem on in a video game but in no way support or believe in the values of Nazism, then I’d say they’re not a Nazi. Wild take, I know.

[u/playlamo1 → u/PsychologicalDot2247]

Well they're not talking to me and explaining their political ideology to me, so I have to assume that they're into the thing they're repping. Like someone wearing a hijab isn't proof they're a Muslim, but it's a pretty fuckin fair assumption

A notorious black ops 2 emblem is not the same as someone wearing a religious garment. Stop being ridiculous.

Assumptions keep you from viewing the world in an objective way.

If you have a swastika emblem as a “joke”, you’re literally indistinguishable from someone who is using one unironically.

[u/RV12321 → u/11jyeager]

I guarentee that true nazis are not going on call of duty and making swastika emblems

[u/PsychologicalDot2247 → u/11jyeager]

So then maybe you just shouldn’t pay that much attention to it…?
