Thats a lot of pretty swastika's! Too bad they are carried by NSDAP members. Also, the penguin is missing from their banners.

@Tycho: I do respect people's thoughts on the swastika, but respect does not automagically mean you have to adhere to someone's demands.

In addition to this, did the Nazi's love their mother and father any less than you do?

Maybe we could at least change the name of the thread to SwasTux rant, out of respect to DASPRiD.

P.S. Please stop arguing. Every time you post, another penguin dies a horrible, flaming death! Think of the penguins. If you won't stop for yourself, please, people - think of the penguins!



I'll bet right about now you guys are pretty happy you didn't give us all the weighty responsibility of having avatars. Who knows what some people might have done? Oh, right...

Bullshit. It isn't a statement about censorship its simply a 'let this be the reason you don't like me'/'oh look at me' thing. Sure you can display it here because it isn't against any rules of the forum but don't try to act like you are doing it for a good reason. Its disrespectful. Its not something that should have to be censored it is something that should be released out of respect. I personally don't have anything against you but I think your avatar is distasteful and the way you've dealt with it equally so.  You can say people won't care if you throw Mao or Stalin up or some such nonsense but you have no proof. Glorifying genocide is never a good cause.

The thing is, taste is something that differs per person. For every person that finds it distasteful, there is another person who thinks the opposite. What you basically are saying is that I am disrespectful because I refuse to adhere to other people's tastes.

And glorying genocice by showing a swastika? Then what am I glorifying if I for example had a 9mm pistol as my avatar? Violence? I might as well say you are glorifying drugs because you have a toad as your avatar, and licking toads is a well-known way to get hallucinating.

Just stop this sillyness, I'm not removing the avatar, better get used to it. There will be much, much more situations in your life where you come across something you find distasteful.

Windows is considered the opposite of Linux, so Linux upside-down would be Windows. The way I look at it, Lava is depicting Microsoft as a Nazi organization.

It is not a question of taste. Though taste is part of the word distasteful, it doesn't mean that if something is distasteful that there is a difference in taste.
Please don't be fuzzy.

According to Princeton Univisersity, distasteful means:

disgusting: highly offensive; arousing aversion or disgust

Since this differs per person, my point stands. What one might find distasteful, another might find tasteful.

If something is offensive, or arouses disgust, it is offensive and arouses disgust. Maybe not to all, or maybe not even to the majority, but it is the effect it has.
If the green hat looks better than the red hat, that is a question of taste.

What if a band of red-hatted ninjas killed my family, and I was offended by people who wore red hats around me? Does that make red hats distasteful?

so if you would ask me to take off my red-hat ninja avatar, I'd respect you as much as i'd remove it.
tell Lava about water festing against cancer, so he will bite your throat off. (Microsoft vs Yahoo topic)

if you'd been beaten up by skinheads several times, watching them to ruin their own and their family's life under this sign, or had relatives living 60 years after a headshot at WW2 with two holes on the face and constant pain, you would take care of this also. but obviously you know enough about fascism to have a picture about its values.

Well, that's different. Nazis were in WW2 60 years ago. Red-hatted ninjas are a serious threat in the here and now. Really, I'm surprised we're not discussing that much more serious and harmful issue.

The red hat it self is not distasteful, but wearing the red hat to your families funeral you would admit is distasteful and tactless. I am a bit puzzled by what you are trying to say.
You seem to spontaneously respond without reading any of the preceding posts. Or maybe you haven't understood most parts of it, then I am sorry.
As stated before, the symbol itself does not have a meaning nor can it be distasteful, only the purpose of the symbol as given to it by the agents participating in the communication can be distasteful.
I thought we were beyond that since 2 pages.

That's a load of nonsense. I have a feeling that you're just trying to move the discussion back towards this false swastika issue, and away from the real problem here. Maybe that's your true intention, eh? Hiding the real problem? Let me ask you, Mr. Eeeew Spiders:

Do you now, or have you ever, subscribed to the beliefs of red-hatted ninjaism?

Eve, chill down...

Fascism exists, people are using the nazi swastika sign, they beat people, they arm up, their life goes shit so well as their families, mostly because they want to get attention in spite of their everyday failures.
You are just lucky that you haven't seen any, good for you.

The red-hatted ninjas think of forum trolls being sub users. I see why you feel threatened by them. But no fear, we will fight for the right of even forum trolls.
