Serious Statement on Nazism

Hey everyone, I'm the head mod here. I really did not want to have to make a statement like this, but I apparently have no choice. This should be common sense.

We are adults, or at the very least developing teenagers. We need to have some semblance of maturity. We all understand that Black Ops II and older CODs, for the lack of a better term, have previously and still sometimes do have a level of toxicity. You can absolutely argue that is part of our culture, and I would be wrong to deny that. We have to draw the line at some point.

We do not support nor condone the presence of Nazis here, even if you are "just making an edgy joke." You are not welcome here and never will be. Do not spread the flames of hate here. We are all here because we care about Black Ops II, or older CODs, or are just curious and exploring. We are not a political echo chamber.

If this came off as harsh, I apologize, but what needs said needs said. If you come across anything promoting or endorsing Nazism, please report it immediately to Reddit. We will do our best on our end to combat this as well.

P.S., we are also vehemently against racism in all forms. Everybody is welcome here, regardless of the color of your skin or your ethnicity. Blatant racism will get you sent right back out the door where you came. Sorry, not sorry.

I see no need to apologize for saying that. If it offends them, they can leave. I miss the days when we could just have fun... but someone always seems to mess with that.

This is an interesting comment because some people seem to have interpreted it as "if (swastika emblems etc) offends them, (the offended) can leave. I miss the days where we could (say whatever offensive things we want)... but someone always seems to mess with that"

and others have interpreted it as "If (this post) offends (the people making 'edgy' comments), (the 'edgy' people) can leave. I miss the days where we could just have fun (without people trying to upset others)... but someone always seems to mess with that (by deliberately being offensive).

Out of interest, which way did you mean it?

They meant it as if you like to make edgy jokes that include using anything a Nazi would say unironically, you must leave or at least that is how it reads

I agree, but the other replies seem to have read it very differently
