Apologists for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in GOIO

[Supimpa]

Hello there

Recently I had the "pleasure" to check the forums and notice that a player uses nuclear bomb symbol (mushroom cloud) as their profile picture. I reported said player and I would like ask you all to do the same. Nuclear bomb was responsible for the deaths of millions of people and it is not right to use its depiction (I think it's actually against the law in many countries).

Hope you understand

You did make me laugh, but... This probably isn't the best way to prove a point.

I think it's best to keep this within the post itself. Let's try to avoid a straight-up flamewar in the General discussions thread. I suggest you take this beef with Mr. Disaster himself.

Possibly a lock on this thread too.

I think this falls again into the debate of 'is it the symbol itself or the perception of that symbol?'
I am all for a disscussion regarding political ideologie Vs one leaders personal vendetta, but that's all that thread was, a  discussion in which all peoples views were respected but questions about those views were posed.
Though I see where you are coming from, there is no need for a personal attack by setting up a different thread aimed at one particular person

I was under the impression the other thread was aimed at one particular clan, calling for other people to report all the clan members. I may be wrong tho.

It was, but it escalated very quickly which is something everyone wants to avoid happening again.

It was, until I stated that it was not the symbol that was used that was offensive, but the negative connatations linked to it  due to the use of it by very few extremists who used a well-intentioned ideology to justify the horrific crimes they committed.
This then sparked a debate as to if said ideology was well intentioned or not, and examples of others like it.

Well if it made someone uncomfortable then I 'am' sorry. I changed my avatar.

Please continue discussion in first thread. I'd like to ask mods to close this one.

Locking this thread, no reason to continue this anymore. Wrongs have been righted.

The thread in question singles out a player and encourages others to report that player, this should not be encouraged.

As stated under the Community Standards Section 2, "You may not harass, threaten, or troll other players-". This thread is intended to carry out that purpose.
