Super Questionable banner

This banner has a lot of nazi connotations I think it should be removed from the game.

Just look carefully at emblems, and you will understand that they are very different.
Really, friend, is it only thing, that disturbs you in your life?
It's only a banner, don't quibble.

It has one more ring, they are the same base design. I personally don't like nazi iconography in my non historical games just like I think it's questionable if there was a swastika banner. It's just something I noticed and would prefer if it was changed to a different banner for future versions. I would hope that the developers of the mod agree with me.

You don't like that symbol either? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
However, historically it is not what most people think about it.
I'm from Russia, and my grandfathers died in the war with the enemy under such banners. But I understand that the banner is not important, but the meaning you put into it.

I'm talking about the counter clockwise swastika. I'm very well aware of it's Hindu meanings, the black sun is currently being used by neo-nazi groups the meaning is very much of fascism.

The emblem of which you speak - or rather the one that is depicted on the banner in the game - is the emblem used by some Mongolian tribes of the era of the conquests of Timur.
You see it as the emblem of Nazi criminals. What's wrong with you?
Anyway , I said what I wanted to say, so you decide.

Well the Wikipedia page also says that it has ties with the occult, and there are various cults in all of Pendor such as the Kracken Cultists lmao

Regarding Neo-Nazi symbols:

They use Thor's Hammer as a symbol nowadays. Why don't we remove Thor's Hammer from every game. Until they find the next symbol and the next one and the next one and the next one.

Heinrich Himmler used the sign and meant for it to be the sign of the SS, as in the man who constructed and oversaw the extermination camps as well as building the SS. The devs of the mod may not have known it had these connotations I have pointed them out and don't think it has any place in this mod. You guys are really projecting here I haven't said we need to boycott the mod or anything I enjoy PoP I just don't think a Nazi symbol should be a part of it.

Seems M&B has been getting a lot of modding troubles since the beginning of April. Don't remove it, it's cool, and very Slavic pagan looking. :lunar2019piginablanket::lunar2019piginablanket:

Silly thing, eagles, snakes, runes galore in that photo, all the banners need to go! :p

Mate, Mr Spliffy B, grow a thicker skin. First of all if we try to erase the past, then we as humans can never learn. If you get offended by a symbol that slightly resembles a Swastika, you truly need to rethink your life priorities. Focus your anger to protesting actual hate groups, not a banner you can 100% choose not to ever use, or perhaps learn coding yourself and create your own banners. Stop bothering the devs, and enjoy the mod or unsubscribe, we dont need people who want to just ♥♥♥♥♥ in the video game community. If that's you, video games arent for you.

Haha ikr? Thats even worse actually, removing opinions that he doesnt want to hear, how low can you even fall......

I haven't touched any of the comments, I don't have the ability to my knowledge. I already have removed the banner in my version I posted this to inform the devs of it's nazi connotations and give my opinion, i'm not gonna boycott them or post ♥♥♥♥ about them I like the mod I just want them to be aware of the nazi connotations of that banner.

One can spot hate symbols everywhere, like one can make a mountain out of a molehill. Its best to just focus on protesting actual hate symbols, not imaginary ones.
Yung Cosmonaut 2 May, 2019 @ 8:39pm 
I have been arrested for spray painting over hate symbols, we are talking swastikas with ♥♥♥♥ like ♥♥♥♥ under them. I am very well aware of actual hate symbols I do spend time removing them from my community, I just also took about 5 minutes to make a post on here I have removed it from my game. It is a nazi symbol I think people should know about it.
