Serious talk about the Swastika
Trust me when I say I don't mean to be offensive about this.
Naturally, there is a large demographic of Germans on this game so the perspective is rather different than what I know.
(I'll share a story about the word "Nigger" I had with a black man from Barbados if there is interest to illustrate how things change over distance and time).
Here in America, the swastika, is an offensive symbol, but I have yet to see it addressed in any game. Especially in the way it was recently referred to in a recent map submission. Trust me, I am not advocating for its use, but more of a curious nature of how prevalent it still is in the German society. It's use is limited to a small group of skinheads and Aryan nation fanatics here in America ( at least in my neck of the woods). It's use is relatively non-existent. Occasionally a Jewish Temple may get vandalized with a swastika, ,and it is so noteworthy that it actually makes the local news.
Like I said, I am curious about it's usage in Germany (not the condoning of it).
