Nazibanners in 3.0! Why?

Funny times.

People are getting offended by flags and words and pretty much everything.
That by itself would be enough to make laugh all day :D
But the fact, that these snowflakes think their opinion is worth listening to or needs to be heard and considered makes me burst in laughter

I miss the good old times, when everyone would have told these creatures to grow themselves a spine and move on with their lives.
I really do.


My opinion on topic:
Couldnt possibly care less

GGG is using a cheap trick to create the atmosphere they wanted by copying a flag design that everyone on planet earth knows and understands what it meant IRL and what it is supposed to mean ingame.
So what? Who gives a shit.
Its not the nazi flag and the nazi´s wont seize power anywhere because of this flag exists in the game :D
I also found this rather offensive. Of course the symbol has been changed, otherwise the game would be forbidden to sell in Germany, other than that, it's exactly the same. Aside from the historical offense, it is actually quiet lazy. "Hey we need some evil guys." "How about Nazis?" "Great, I bet no other game-designer ever had that idea!!"

Common GGG you can do better than that!
I don't see a similarity tbh.

I mean, are we honestly offended by black, red and white these days? Good luck trying to survive as the world is full of these colors...

Btw. there are many games with actual third Reich symbolism and nobody except the Germans has ever cared for that.
You do realize it's fiction and not real representation? If you are going to be offended be offended about killing people in this game it's way worse thing than some banners.

If they could, they would've done it already, threads about Nazi symbolism were here since first SS(look what I did here) with that flag was posted on forum. It's a lost cause, GGG is really as lazy as you see.
You don't enjoy killing nazi scum in games? I thought that's the theme that sells.

- Starwars - Empire = nazis
- Lord of the rings - Morguls = nazis
- Call of Duty - Nazis = nazis

I think it's great. You should even go do some research about the ideology, principles, way how they failed, what they did and how many they killed, rather than throwing feelings against a wall.

Abolishing the history is not the right way how to learn from the mistakes of past generations.

I'm kinda laughing at the people swearing that they don't see the connection, just showing how much they're willing to pull the wool over their own eyes for, well... WHATEVER false-narrative reason.

There was some comment from GGG around here somewhere, but the relation was intentional.

Remember guys, the Templar are supposed to be the bad guys here, and there's not supposed to be any doubt around it. Hence, they went with the CLEARLY Nazi-like symbolism, because as much as others might want to believe otherwise, it's one of the quickest and easiest tropes to mark something as "evil."

And, I might say, it works.

1rst off kiddo, that isn't a nazi symbol.
2cond- the swastica existed LONG LONG LONG before the nazis.
3rd - u realise kiddo ,that GGG had to implement the banners of a tirany somehow..


Got it now?

I am more concerned how retarded the kids are nowdays..

Without any form of brain. They just point stuff and blame, without ANY seconds of thinking why...

And those smartphones are making them even dumber..

It is a very common theme and a good thing to turn to if you search for the evil in the face of humanity. However neither the Morgul nor the Empire are actually influenced by WWII Tolkien kinda got sick of repeating that his book, although the time would fit had nothing to do with WWII.

I'm also not seeing how using similar symbols to the nazis even with the intent to be similar is a bad thing. I can't see any glorification here, it is quite obvious that those the bad guys. So if you use a similar symbol for fictional bad guys it is just a very easy way to show how bad they actually are. Because if people associate those symbols (and it actually isn't just the symbols, just look at the frame of the forum, those soldiers also kinda look like german soldiers and officers) with something they know as bad they easily come to the conclusion that this is bad as well. This actually is a common thing in fiction, you make something similar to things people know and they will react similar to it.
