[REL] Alternate Campaign Ending Screens

[kylania]

Others felt quite strongly about them in many ways. This mod was just an attempt to offer an alternative for some. One guy even listed the original ending screens as a reason to uninstall SH5. Now he doesn't have to.

Oh, I missed that thread completely.
Well, to each his own. I, for one, couldn't care less about the "flags and glorification of the Third Reich".

I guess some people are too sensitive. I'm not.

It's not about sensitivty, its about keeping perspective.

But here is a chellenge for you. If you don't think theres anything wrong with that one end screen, or symbolism of the time period, then I DARE YOU to fly a swaztika outside your house, and play music from the reich really loudy out the window. And to the first person or phone call you get, tell them your a historical renactor, and see how far that gets you in the real world with real people.

Yes, some of us know that. Your the one who orginally had the signiture of themselves as the happy nazi. For the record, i didn't petition to have that sybmolsim removed , but i do think you have a love of the regiem.

I made this mod specifically for you and anyone that felt the same as you.

Speaking of perspective though, there's a huge difference between a toned down Nazieqsue ending screen in a video game and what you're daring people to do. To compare that single image to being a Neo-Nazi in real life or even contemplating that the image could in any way lead to Holocaust denial (as that thread turned to) is probably the most ludicrous idea I've read on these forums.

I made this mod so that you wouldn't feel as uncomfortable about an in game subject you seem to be extremely passionate about, in return you told me to be a Neo-Nazi for a day. Fair enough. I afraid I can't fully understand your point of view to the lengths that you have taken it, but please try to accept this mod in the spirit in which it was created. No offense to you or any one or any group affected by history was meant.

Im pissed at two things in this thread

Your subtle jabs (perceived my ass!) and Conus's ignorance.

Considering people seem to think things like this is apporpiate and OK


I think not. That particular flag was embellished with the nazi eagle. So that user went the extra mile. Conus has been known to go the same distance. It is really not neccessary, is in poor taste, and reflects poorly on the community as a whole.

Then i consider the use of the world "percieved" in the original post. What kylania is implying is
- he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. I raise these points here and here to the contrary.
- he is at the same time, discrediting other view points which are entirely valid. To say something is "percieved" is to say it has no validity or basis.
- is in effect saying, "here you go, STFU", only on the sly and subtle.

I take issue with that. There really was no need for subtle jabs.

I'll leave it at that, ive spoken my mind, and there is nothing more to say.
