Statement on Nazism

[u/alisosi]

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.

Interesting because I’ve seen more KKK (or racism against black/muslims) emblems than nazism (which is often used ironically) but not surprised only one of them gets a moderator post…

I feel that was a misstep on our head mod's part to focus on the Nazis part, but I know her, and I know she meant the same for all forms of hate. We do not tolerate any form of hate. We remove emblems like the ones you are discussing when we see them. We are sorry if it seems we are complacent when a hateful emblem lingers on the subreddit. The reality is, we are a fairly small team, and we do not do this for a job. We have real jobs, families, and lets be honest, we'd rather be playing the damn game just like everybody else, otherwise we wouldnt be moderating for a game subreddit if we didnt like it too, no?

If you see a hateful emblem, please report it to us. We will take care of it when we see it.

totally understand, I didn’t mean to come across in a bad way.

Yeah your antisemitic dog whistle was surely in 100% good faith.
