Recently there’s been a few posts in the suggestions asking to remove insignias and even complete factions at times. So I was wondering whether you guys found them pointless, agitating, annoying or just ignored them.
I personally think they should get disciplinary action like maybe a ban from posting a new topic for 1 - 5 days or something. We don’t know and probably will never know if mods take disciplinary action other than closing a thread.
(On a side note the forum rules should be updated to say no spam / illogical posts and possible penalties for breaking any of the rules).
If someone is upset by historical symbols being present in a game that has a specific historical period as its primary theme. That person must either have some mental issues or be a troll.
And I don’t mean that as an insult, it’s just a fact.
I’m getting old now, but I think most in my generation aren’t into sanitizing history because a few people are offended, however, this is a new generation filled with pronouns and safe spaces so I am not surprised.
IMOP, this is a World War 2 game, so whether or not some find Nazi or other faction symbols offensive, it was part of WW2 so it should be in the game. But, I don’t lose sleep over it seeing that this game is light years from accuracy anyway.
If I’m not mistaken, the issue with the symbols is due to the fact that they can’t be publicly visible in certain countries (this includes video games and advertisements) (Germany being the best example). But the fact that people in other countries get upset about seeing them in a game with that theme seems a bit ridiculous to me. I agree.
Special lootbox rule for Netherlands wasn’t issue. So I really don’t understand why they can’t make censorship tailored only for countries where it’s needed.
Plus I am not even talking about symbols that are potential legal issue. I am talking about symbols that are already in game and somebody wants them to be removed.
