It's only offensive to the uneducated who would think this is the symbol the Nazis used.

however, only thing the germans really lack is hospitality and some kind of "composure" ... they can be very stiff, compared to other nationalities in europe
LOL wtf? Is this serious?
what part is lol and wtf?
Sorry guy, an overreaction no doubt but just thrown by the fact that someone is randomly discussing the merits of the german culture as if any of the sentiment in this thread that touches on the german people in any way is worth even acknowledging. It's like a surreal step into bizarro land for me but hey, maybe had too much sugar this morning. Apologies, nothing to see here /poster_is_on_drugs.

ok, it's forbidden to use in Germany because they have some serious complexes about their History - but i don't.
The Swastika the OP posted is fine in german law. ;-)
No problem at all.
Wrong. In Germany, the Swastika is forbidden in all variations. Except for something like this.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

They should rather focus on putting cultural marxism into the trash can.

Dwelling on the past is never a good thing.
To play devil's advocate, I do not see people shunning crosses, halos, or sun gods when we've been graced with such things as the Spanish Inquisition and Crusades. But yeah ;) Food for thought.

Well every country has something like this. Germans are afraid of Nazi stuff. Americans are afraid of nipples x) so yeah.

Then all non-game related symbols should not be used. Not only to not offend anyone, but to also stop these stupid discussions. If I was running things, this is how I would do it. In my last post I said that because it DOES offend people, I don't care if you think the symbol is actually a good thing, it does offend and should be removed.
These discussions only bring back and forth fighting that will never end and will not make anyone happy. This is a game forum, lets talk about gaming and leave religion out of this.

Pictures removed due to the size of them~
Since you seem to be from germany (sorry if not) you should definately check out § 86/III (§ 86 a) StGB.
There were several cases in the past of indian marriages here were people decorated a room in a restaurant with the symbol of a swastika (not the hakenkreuz one, i mean the lucky charm one).
The restaurant owners filed a case because of that and they all got dropped due to the different cultural meaning.
sincerely,

Thank god you're not running things then, nazi! <--- see what I did there???
Are you not a real nerd like the rest of us? You ain't never seen a science fiction movie, son? The first step to a dystopian Big Brother future is censorship of EVERYTHING. Someone has to draw a line somewhere and that means, in this case, GGG. They ain't offended son - they even got titties in their game, right out in the open and shit!! Glad I don't go to your church, son. Bet your nuns ain't even allowed to wear garter belts and lingerie and shit. Yeesh.
