Never posting agaiCo-opted by alt right a few years ago. Puts people in a weird spot of not wanting to allow extremists the power to control language and symbols and not wanting to make anything offensive. I think the symbol is too widely accepted as white supremicist now to rationalize putting it in games
you mean it was a troll campaign that 4chan started to make it seem like it was co-opted by the alt-right.

Doesn’t taking the animation out of the game give these losers some sort of power though? I seriously don’t know a single person in life who correlates it with any racist connotations. Hadn’t even thought of it in years, even the white supremacist people just did it once a few years ago to “own the libs” and haven’t really utilized it since. But now that this is in the news again, it’s adding another spark to a brush fire that was already dead
Seems like a classic case of people making a mountain out of a molehill
Read again, I'm saying the symbol (which has popped up in the news fairly consistently, especially among communities similar to COD) is too accepted at this point to justify it's use. I can't imagine I'm the only person who has thought about the white supremicist symbolism every single time that gesture has been used in game.

Ok but avowed white supremicists use it for the explicit purpose of including their imagery in scenes requiring subtelty. Who started it is not as important as who is using it

candaceThey point out that the game literally allows players to commit war crimes through the use of killstreaks like White Phosphorus, so it seems odd for it to pursue a moral high ground.
