I feel like this major site concern belongs here. Doesn't fit anywhere else

It is my hope that staff not allow these images going forward.

It's not the symbol that is offensive, it's the attitude of the poster. If someone on here is promoting hate, then complain to the mods.

As I stated, everyone can see those symbols in history books and documentaries. To censor them is to censor history. I want all Americans to be exposed to all aspects of history, even if it means some of them will draw absurd conclusions (as you did over the Civil War).

Perhaps our staff would like to weigh in, since it's obvious we disagree where the line between free speech and hate speech exists.

Those lines move from year to year in this country, including other taboos that are forbidden here but are also part of history past and present,

[lustylad]

Should pictures of swastikas and burning crosses also be banned from the far-left's CRT seminars and textbooks?

Be consistent.

That's not the topic here, LL. We're talking about ECCIE.


Be relevant.

If you put up a burning cross or a swastika in someone's yard that's a hate crime.
These 2 images being posted here could also get eccie labeled as a hate site.
Good gawg what kinda folks are supportive of these symbols? Very troubling.

That's a fucking stretch.

BTW - I only call Twitler a fascist. Some of his white supremacist pals, on the other hand...

I don't give a shit about either one being posted. My point that apparently went right over your head is you are a hypocrite if the pics offend you but turn right around and call someone a nazi because they support Trump or call Trump hitler.

It's very relevant and on-topic. It makes my point - context matters.

Censoring symbols is silly. What's next - will you ask the mods to ban images of MAGA hats? How about the antifa flag? If something offends me but not you, should it be banned?

Be logical.

These images represent true evil and genocide. Everyone should agree they're not acceptable

Not off topic at all. Hitler was evil. So in your mind it's OK to say Trump is hitler or put a hitler mustache on a pic of Trump? This is not offensive in your mind but a swastika is? You can't have it both ways. Condemn both or continue to be the hypocrite you are.

[Yssup Rider]

Totally off topic. What aboutism.

Trump is a public figure and subject to criticism without impunity under the constitution you worship. Posting hate symbols aren't about a person, but animed at entire ethnicities.

Like calling Biden a dementia patient. That's OK. Call a fellow poster a dementia patient and it's VERBOTEN.

Got it?

Have to ditch the green frog emoji too, as it's somehow considered racist in this work-world-order.

[lustylad]

Should he ditch his avatar? Do you find that offensive too?

Why would anyone use it?

The swastika and its variants are banned in Germany and other countries.
Symbols known to fall under the law are: the swastika as a symbol of the Nazi Party, prohibited in all variants, including mirrored, inverted etc. (exceptions are only applied to swastikas used as religious symbols in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain temples)
