I don't. It's a picture in a computer game. Just like I don't think there's anything wrong with the pictures of the medals in game or the Kreigsmarine posters on all the walls. Nor do I think someone with a swastika in their signature is a Nazi or supports the Nazi party or anything they did, in the context of this forum and game. If that signature was on Stormfront, sure maybe that does mean he's a Nazi, but not here.

Even though I don't agree with your point of view the first thing I did was try to help you avoid having to see the image. In return, I get... this...

(n) perception (a way of conceiving something) "Luther had a new perception of the Bible"

No, when I said "perceived" it meant that I was trying to keep things neutral, as in some people viewed the image one way while others viewed it another way. I was trying not to give credit to either viewpoint, since both are valid to those who view them that way.

You, and others, perceive that image is offensive. I, and others, don't perceive it to be. Everyone sees what they want to in that picture. I see an image that's meant to represent a victory for the German Navy in a computer simulation game. You see Holocaust denial and Neo-Nazi recruitment and glorification of Nazi symbolism. That's just something you're going to have to deal with, but don't take your anger and try to convince yourself I was telling you to shut up and go away. That's entirely incorrect and rather insulting.
