Is THIS really necessary?

When are people going to STOP being offended on the internet? Sereiously, just ignore it and move on. Why do people get so caught up with nonsense.

I'm more offended that this post generates 4 pages of discussion.

The real symbol of the nazi party is an eagle holding a Nazi Swastika inside a wreath. So by that logic we should ban anything having to do with eagles. Seems like the only way to go.

Cure for the ignorance.

OP is getting upset because someone wrote a "d" when "b" was used to represent hateful ideas.

according to this page, it's a bad luck swastika :)

And GGG? C´mon... thread opened at Feb 12? Seven(!) days and noone even cares? Seriously guys, wtf...

So you think one person represents the entire community? Pretty narrow view you got there.

And nobody cares because it's not a big deal. As everyone has pointed out the swastika can mean any number of things. If the guy is trolling then by reporting him and making a whole thread about it, you are just feeding into it and giving him more attention. I thought it was kind of funny myself because I do think he is trolling, especially with that shop name lol.

Sticking up your middlefinger means "hi there" in West-Borneo. So I do it all the time and just can't understand why people get offended.

Those arn't swastikas...

They are symbols of protection.

Note the direction of the symbol. Swastikas(stolen tribal symbol) face right.

Protection symbol faces left(as in screenshot)

Do your research.

Agree with poster who said they're more offended that 4 pages were wasted on this.

Understand the need to be careful - there is obviously some debate as to whether we should be so sensitive that we react to troll gags and give them the attention they want or not so that one is probably open to community input but the thing that CAN stop is the OP's self-righteous judgement on the community and the mods.

Instead of jumping on the purity bandwagon and unfairly labelling the community and the mods perhaps you could consider that not everyone is like you, OP? We're not all hyper-sensitive to troll gags because we've used the internets before? Maybe some of the community and mods you're bagging have a real reason to be offended by the swastika (which this is not) but are mature enough to handle the internets?

Seriously guy, wtf...
