Something strange
SalasCraft:
Tabooti, I think there are far more issues server wise than bothering the admins with this nonsense, it was just an inside joke, just like all those Hitler memes, all those racist memes, no one bitches about.
Just chill out, and enjoy minecraft. If I am not mistaking, optical himself is a russian.
TarynMai:
The fact that this topic exists is pretty sad. I understand why youre upset, but dotn you think youre overreacting? Just a bit?
Duinis:
Booti, no offence, but aren't you overreacting just a bit? I mean, the symbol is just a joke. Not like Optical is about to make us do genocide or something. Making links, fighting to remove it....Isn't that a bit over the top?
Hasan (Tabooti):
The idea this it's 'okay' and to consider this a 'joke' is sick where it is. And no, of course I'm not over reacting. Hitler memes are in mockery of Hitler. Putting up a swastika with something that says "ARBEIT MACHT FREI" Doesn't make it okay either.
Even if optical is a Russian, it doesn't make him a communist. Other than that, most people that suffered under communism are the people of the other slavic nations such as the Ukraine, Estonia, Bolivia, Norway, Finland, and so on.
Everyone would be pissed off if a swastika was up there. I know I would be.
Duinis, I know that this symbol doesn't hold any political emphasis here. But the symbol is offensive in it's nature. It's offensive to the nations, and people who had to suffer under soviet rule.
Soviets murdered as many Ukrainians as they could, because they were branded as 'nationalists' and had a 'national identity'
It's SICK. Why are you even defending this symbol? Remove it and get over with it. It's disgusting. Even the Che Guevara, the man who bravely murdered innocent civilians has a T-shirt and is franchised.
All for what? This is a much larger issue than just in Opticraft. How could we as Humans even stand aside, and joke about any of this?
As I said, If this was a swastika, everyone would be angry over it. Yet you defend a symbol that's much darker, and so much sinister?
You can say "Communism was a great idea, but it failed" But as I just demonstrated that's completely false. It's a sick ideology that cannot work without the systematic extermination of millions. and that's proven in every communist country.
This is a very reasonable reaction, and I hope you join me in it. If not for the sake of millions, then for the sake of what will shape Human moral standards. I could simply PM optical, and have think about it. But It would make a difference if I could say that lots of people agree with me. It's also better for everyone to understand why we can't stand for such hateful symbols.
Hasan (Tabooti):
Also, Watch the documentary that I provided, and tell me about how this Icon is okay.
In addition, Holocaust, and Hitler jokes belong in 4chan. Not on a mine craft forum.
