Golden Rivet, have you ever spend a thought on what you were doing when designing your sig? I assume you were just easy-minded, but dozens of millions turned out to be the answer to "alles für Deutschland" - they got killed. and have you ever thought about how a KZ survivor must feel if meeting you displaying carelessly the symbols of the murderous horror he survived and his family not? Not to forget that you can be understood to be a Nazi yourself when showing Nazi symbols so carelessly?
Dresses make people. So be careful how you dress. |
relax skybird... its just an SH3 Sig  i assure you im a sheep in wolves clothing hahaha
besides - according to my German friend that statement signifies allegiance to Germany - NOT "the party" and is thus a slogan of patriotism which can be viewed as separate from nazism.... hence the reason i used it rather than something like "heil hitler" or "alles fur der furher" - THAT would be naziism
some will be offended by it i suppose... but im an American - if im not offending someone - im doing something wrong. 
EDIT: the allegiance to Germany thing is what i was going for because my sh3 persona "Jon Wintergarten" is simply a kriegsmarine officer doing his job who is a loyal patriot of his country... NOT a loyal follower of Hitler. |
Alles für Deutschland? Really "alles"? You remember the lines: "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, über alles in der Welt?" See the linking in meaning? These lines are now not only deleted from the national anthem, they are also forbidden. Only the second of three verses form the official german anthem nowadays. And that is a good thing, and a good text. the other two are ouaäh...
Well, in some things, Anglosaxons and most other Europeans are definitely very different.
Just because we had small contact before prevented me from being harsh here. I assumed that you are no Nazi, but mindless "only". Nevertheless, if yopu would have been a stranger, you would be listed as a Neonazi in my books now. maybe that motivates a second thought on it. BTW. three quarters of the german U-Bootä-Männer got killed during the war. especially the U-Boot-part of the Marine hated the Nazis very intensely. You certainly know the movie "Das Boot". you remember the character of that text-book Nazi-German appearing. And you also recall that he was isolated and avoided by the rest of the crew, and the Käptn secretely disliked and hated him completely - and the political leadership as well.
Now try to imagine what this Kaleu would have told you if he would have seen you with a flag like that. Are you sure that you are matching reality with your self-description of how you mean it - or are you maybe just serving a self-constructed cliche: your cliche about things, that is?
As I said, I find you not to be a Nazi, but mindless. This is no historic docu that gets shot. This is a game, and your sig is part of your very private behavior. that means it is being connected to you personally, not to a function in an educating project, or something like that.
