Something strange
optical:
Tabooti, are you stupid? In its context the logo has no negative connotations or allusions to anything. It is simply an Easter egg.
You cannot just hide and shun anything that may be related to other bad things in life. So what if communists did terrible things? We're not condoning their actions at all. You and Zezenov have two german themed cities. The Germans committed horrible war crimes. Heck, I distinctly remember a flash video from stetting depicting a war on griefers, alluding to the wars Germany fought in. Simply because there may be some link to a horrible event, doesn't mean we should wipe out everything and anything associated with it.
The hammer and sickle does not represent injustice, and neither does communism.
You really need to just chill the fuck out. The banner is displayed every 1 in 1500 and has no negative connotations in its context. Get off your crusade for justice, you are way out of line here.
Hasan (Tabooti):
No, I'm not stupid.
This isn't about hiding & shunning something. This is about being tolerant towards tolerating hate symbols.
But I don't believe a communist icon is appropriate, in the same sense that a swastika would be appropriate, just because it's displayed as an Easter egg.
The Hammer and Sickle may not have represented injustice, and neither did the swastika. But both sides have committed genocides, and justified it with those icons.
The communists have committed far worse crimes than the Nazis, such as the Holodomor.
And sorry to hear about your family XpLoZzIv, But I'm trying to make a comparison. We all know that if that communist banner was a nazi one instead, everyone would be complaining. Maybe not as much as I am, but the point is clear.

Well perhaps he should remove the ores too, 'cause Iron, Gold, Diamonds were probably used to manufacture weapons of mass destruction who have ruined the life of many people.
Hasan (Tabooti):
That's a silly comparison, and you know it.

Guys lets dont insult eachother anymore. Tabooti wanted to explain his idea about this logo and he has a point. But, i don't think that it should be removed as it is a gift for spending time on the forums. I think the two parts of this discuss (Againist the logo and supporters of the logo) should calm down a little. We can't make the other side to think like us by insulting them.
Sorry for the grammar mistakes.
Thanks for reading :D
