Could we please do something about The Rhodie 2.0?
I don't like getting into politics but basing a weapon skin on a state with such a blatantly racist background seems wrong. I reported it, but I just felt like I should say something too. The whole game is basically about multicultarism, a skin like that would just tarnish that.

How about you get thicker skin instead? We don't need the PC police in our heisting simulator (unless we get to shoot at them, then I'm okay with it).

The only thing "racist" about Rhodesia (most of what you've heard about them was actually propaganda spread by the Brits, who were salty about Rhodesia unilaterally declaring independence) was that they refused to hand over control to people they knew would ruin everything until they were literally forced to at gunpoint, and we all know what happened to what became Zimbabwe since then: hyperinflation out the ass, widespread famine (because that's what happens when you kick out all the farmers and give their land to a bunch of soldiers that've never farmed in their life), and a recent military coup because their leader was so incompetent that even his most diehard supporters (the very same people he gave all that confiscated land to) couldn't stand him anymore.

On a more relevant note to the game itself, by your same logic, we'd have to remove several weapons and masks from the game because of their affiliation and/or use by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, both of whom were genocidal and racist (despite the latter and their successor states trying really damned hard to cover it up).

I have to agree with Z3r0. In addition, as long as the skin itself isn't showing anything racist, it's fine. It would be more racist imo to ban a skin because it's based of a specific country/state/culture.

I don't see any report for this skin (probably Steam issues, my apologies) but after checking out this skin manually. I will not be removing it from the workshop. There are no logos or other artwork that would lead me to take this down.

Until one of the female heisters uses it, then it's offensive to women for implying that they should be in the kitchen.

This is why you don't give an inch for Social Justice. They'll just keep asking for more until, eventually, you're left with nothing.
