Grabbed. Will I be able to use this in MP?
Also, why in the offtopic section it is allowed to post links to pictures containing swastikas (not the pics themselves, I get it, German hosting) but this would be forbidden? I'd like to hear an admin ruling instead of user moderation.
Regarding "enthusiasm", one cannot undo history by whitewashing it. For me, personally, Germany's self-loathing swastikaphobia is just stupid censorship. Implying that a mere symbol would encourage people to genocidal thoughts.... just no. If a flag at the time contained a symbol of evil ideology, there is no reason not to show it (abroad where law allows it) where relevant (I'm not wanting a shoulder patch to wear, I'm wanting to see a real flag instead of an imaginary one during WW2). Deliberate inaccuracy serves no purpose.
inb4 Nazis caused so much suffering so it's bad to show their symbol even in historical context, well, let's ban the Communist symbols too and any other symbol associated with wrongdoings and let's not learn from history.
