@Vogue...stop harassing other.
I only ever use the name Durf, stop making assumptions.
Stop insulting people of a different game type than you.
It's a fact that mentally ill people were put in camps or sentenced to death as well.
Yes that's a fact. You brought it up as if those with Asperger's had a mental illness, or worse, that Asperger's itself was a mental illness.....this is just plain ignorance.
More and more assumptions; they will leave you in a sad place in life.
You can put all the shaking banana faces you'd like; the fact of the matter is you're racist against Nazis.
@Nelg, I think they were being sarcastic...Whatever lol...
@Word, yes the Wikipedia article says that...*face palm*....you're really going to let the actions of someone in history dictate (lol) how you live your life? You would allow yourself to be limited in such a way?
"The Jesus Christs" or "I'm The Pope"
^ you said you wouldn't ban these...yet they have just as much reason to be banned given your reasoning. ANYONE can find ANYTHING offensive. Yet why are some things allowed while others are not? Bias. Pure and simple. You're a Nazi hater. (Not that I blame you, but my point is, leave your hate behind, this is a game. Not some place for you to uphold and enforce your personal morals onto others)
My proof of how you are completely full of it now is that you seemingly stopped reading the sentence halfway through:
Wikipedia wrote: Because of its use in Nazism, in many Western countries the swastika is stigmatized, while it remains commonly used as a religious symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism.
^ As you can see, there is more than JUST what you perceive. Every negative emotion you feel from it is your own fault. Become a Buddhist or Hindu...that should solve your pent up hate for what is just a symbol.
Here's another example: The team name "The Grammar Nazis" (OMG it has "Nazi" in it! Ban it!)
There is a fairly good example as it is THE VERY SAME WORD, used in a very different context.
If you choose to ban this, at least you'd be showing consistency (albeit still very bias).
If you allow such a name, then you are a hypocrite. You would realize that the word is just a word for this case, but not current team in question. That's how.
@Cody, about the "Super Gays"...I think it raises a valid point. Anyone with the prejudice and the bias to do so can be overly offended by that name. Though as you say, it is not discriminatory in any way.
That is an overall good example of someone just looking for reasons to complain.
You shouldn't have to rename because someone else gets confused or offended. It's not even close to actual being discriminatory or prejudice. I mostly agree with you. (Clearly defined rules would help)
Though, that being said, the word "gay" is still used in its original sense of the word. "IHateGayPeople" is up for interpretation. Here's an example: "The flaming homosexual was prancing in such a gay manner before he caught fire". Incidentally, gay was originally used to describe a man of a "happy" nature...sometimes too happy and too comfortable with his body (and that of other men). Over time the word does change yes, but the original sense of the word is still in use today. "We'll have a gay old time!"
Amaso.'s latest post shows exactly the line of thinking people are pursuing to justify the banning of the name "N4zi". Like I said, ANYONE can get offended at ANYTHING. And sure, it's nice not to offend people. But sometimes people complain too much (often to see just how much power they have).
(p.s - I think he meant like a phobia as in trauma...someone who doesn't want to be exposed to it for any reason whatsoever - analogous to the feelings people have towards Nazis...literally no valid reason)
It's...just...a...name.
