Black Ops Swastika Emblems Will Earn Xbox Live Ban

[majaman]

Good, maybe this will weed out the dick heads and morons on xboxlive. Which XBL is in dire need of that.

 

[Penguin Fairy]

Why are so many people acting like this is such a big deal. I think them banning swastika is fairly reasonable because I bet most of the people who put swastikas as their emblem don't know of the swastika's actual pre-world war II meanings, and a lot of the people who see the swastikas won't understand them either.

The only thing that puzzles me about the ban is that microsoft doesn't seem to care about all the dick emblems and focus's completely on the swastika.

This guy is an emblem nazi.

ZING!

Also in regard to this: my emblem (on the PS3 version) is a black heraldric Dragon on a white circle on a black square, do you think I'm safe?

Probably depends on whether or not the depiction of your heraldic dragon exposes a huge dragon dick. If your dragon is dickless, you're probably in the clear. But, if you ask me, a dickless heraldic dragon doesn't really create a good impression.

No its just the heraldric Dragon without anything "Phwoooooar!" worthy attached to it. I know, I know it makes me look like some sort of perverted freak! Maybe I should add a huge phallus with FAIL written on it several times in different colours with a few of those silhouettes pointing pistols to fit in.

There you go! That'd be a emblem truly worthy of proud display in Xbox Live.

Exactly. Why ban a symbol that's PERCIEVED as offensive and leave all the ones that definitely ARE offensive?

If I walked through town with a swastika, I'd get nasty looks. If I walked through town with my junk out, I'd get much nastier looks and probably institutionalised.

 

[noble cookie]

Eh, it's okay. I'm not a troll anyway. Not bothered.

I'll make an emblem that resembles something i really like, like a band or something.

 

[moretimethansense]

I thought the Swastika was a backwards version of the Buddhist symbol. Is that not right?

Almost, It's actually a symbol that has turnrd up in many cultures all over the world over many years Placed at a 45 degree angle

You have no idea and words cannot describe how hard I'm laughing right now. You win the internet.

But then I'd run the risk of being mistaken for that "elite" brand of gamer that has made Xbox Live the obscene, "fag" obsessed world it is. I suppose if I didn't want to be associated with such individuals I'd just stick to offline gaming or mute the headset.

That's why I don't do the online gaming thing. That and the fact that Sony and Microsoft use the medium to spy into your console/computer, going places where, in my book, they've got no business going. But, hey, they reserve the right to do so in their TOSAs and EULAs so, if you signed up, that's part of what you signed up for and too bad if it later bothers you. It is their right to do so.

Personally, they can spy into my consoles and computer all they want if they ban 98% of online gamers, leaving just me and some other relatively polite fellows to have a COD game unspoilt by crude behaviour and moronic vulgarities. Besides, its not like I have any anarchistic rebellion plans or anti-corporation propaganda stored on my machines.

Now I'm envious. I had to install 16GBs of additional memory in order to store all my anarchistic rebellion plans and anti-corporation propaganda.

Just be sure to back that stuff up: I had the perfect plan to unite the people in a glorious revolution that would overthrow the capitalist pigdogs on Capitol Hill, tear down the bloated and oppressive corporations from all walks of economic life and create a beautiful new world order in which people could play games online without fear of soul crushing bullying-and my computer froze. Now I'm back under the heel of the Man and all I've got to show for it are those Che Guevara Live Gamer t-shirts ($12.99).

Looks like you win again Microsoft.....

...Now how about a ban (or other punishment) on the countless people with a penis as their icon? (I swear, if you drink a shot every time you see that, you'll be dead of liver failure within 10 minutes.)

What's wrong with a penis? Yeah, it unoriginal, but seriously...

If you're a lonely woman, you're probably thinking nothing at all wrong.

Your post appears to have some intended text missing. If you intended to say something to the effect of "flying the swastika improperly (e.g., above the U.S. flag or a state flag) is illegal," you may want to double-check that position. The Federal Flag Code (4 U.S.C. §§ 4-10) does not provide any penalties for non-compliance with its guidelines nor does it include enforcement provisions. Rather, the Code functions simply as a guide to be voluntarily followed by civilians and civilian groups. If you choose not to follow the guidelines of the Federal Flag Code and instead fly your swastika above the U.S. flag, that is in no way "illegal."

Moreover, laws which have attempted to make desecration of the U.S. flag and state flags (e.g., by mutilating, defacing, physically defiling, maintaining on the floor, or trampling upon a flag) a criminal offense have all been struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court if done as an expression of opinion (see, e.g., Texas v. Johnson and United States v. Eichman). If I want to douse the U.S. flag and the flag of Texas in gasoline and set them both ablaze as an expression of opinion, that's my constitutionally protected right. In fact, a favorite gimmick of the Westboro Baptist Church is to tie a U.S. flag to an ankle and drag it on the ground as they march back and forth on their picket lines.

That America would recognize and protect a right of its citizens to burn their own flag as freedom of speech is almost enough to bring tears to eyes and makes me want to bust out singing "God Bless America" at the top of my lungs.

Thank you for the correction. I had in fact misinterpreted something! Jarhead, not lawyer. Grog smash!

No problem.

The government can force itself (e.g., the U.S. Armed Services) to fly the flag according to the Flag Code but it can't force private civilians to do so.

All Mongolian symbols, or recurve bows, or horses should be removed. Since they were symbols and the means of the horrible destruction wrought by the Mongolian genocidists in Russia, China and the Middle East.

Think of the children in the 13th century!

Because the public at large is still perplexed at half of our species having them.

 

[cjneon]

I've no problem with the ban as the majority of people who would use it as their emblem are just 11-17 year olds trying to be "cool" who by the ESRB ratings system shouldnt own the game anyway.

Also I dont get why everyone seems so up in arms about this, how many of you guys on here were gonna use it for your symbol anyway??
