Bungie are removing a Destiny 2 gauntlet that “shares elements with a hate symbol”

Bungie have just revealed that they are removing a gauntlet from Destiny 2 that “shares elements with a hate symbol.” They say the similarities are not intentional, and they are working on the removal as quickly as they’re able.

[Kribwalker]

It is so unbelievably simmilar I find it hard they didn't make it on purpose

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I just looked up the flag, and it's pretty much a Destiny-fied version of it. This sure as hell wasn't an accident. I'll be on the lookout for artist openings at Bungie.

[GottaBjimmyb]

I don't get it, what exactly is the issue, even if it was a subtle hint at KEK. KEK is a gaming culture meme/troll. Nothing AT ALL racist about it. One would assume a partially game (WOW specifically) related meme/troll would be relevant.
http://knowyourmeme.com/mem...

[Zeref]

I thought this was gonna be one of those things that SJWs like to exaggerate, but goddamn this does look remarkably similar. It's definitely on purpose. But it was probably done by just one artist and it was overlooked because nobody knows Kekistan exists.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Yep ....entirely too close. Somethings foul in denmark.

[FlameBaitGod]

Is the kekistan flag really a symbol of hate now lmfao ?

[Christopher]

If Nazis and white supremacists start to carry them...

[FlameBaitGod]

"If Nazis and white supremacists start to carry them..."

Oh Jezzus Chrizzt, are Germans marching in the U.S ? Who are these Nazis preventing from speaking ? Where is this violent suppression of the opposition? Pretty sure is the left, who are destroying cities, assaulting people and preventing people from speaking, are people completely ignoring all the violence these antifa losers are causing while claiming to be about peace and love, while beating everyone who doesn't agree with them? Who is advocating for an authoritarian government ?????

This kekistan flag was made by 4chan for trolling weak SJW's, since sjw's didn't like it, its somehow a hate symbol LOL, its like these sjw's never matured mentally. They act like complete kids who scream at everyone they don't like.

[FlameBaitGod]

"They act like complete kids who scream at everyone they don't like."

[Gh05t]

@Christopher

So all they have to do is start carrying McDonalds flags and all the sudden McDonalds golden arches are racist and a symbol of hate?

Isnt that a little short sited and actually a HUGE problem that people cant tell the difference between a symbol of hate and a symbol that haters use. I mean all they would need to do then is start marching with the Symbol of the democratic party and all the sudden what, everyone who is a democrat is racist?

Isnt that more than a little ridiculous and could lead to worse issues?

People need to stop being this naive. And doing things like this only helps people get away with things that they shouldn't be.

[gamer7804]

really.... one has 4 lines int he center the other doesn't, its also missin the other "k's" on each side, which could easily have been arrows next to a horizontal line.....

It's bungie's right to remove it, but it seems pretty far reaching.

[Kribwalker]

I don't care if they remove it or not, I think it's an internet joke more then offensive, but at least be honest and not say it's accidental

[DarXyde]

History lesson time (and why any white hate groups are morons if they brandish that "Kekistan" flag:

Kek is actually an Egyptian deity. The best part? He is also transgender. Two things that those groups loathe (nonwhite and transgender) are literary the foundation of this ridiculous movement. If I had to guess, they're using the pop culture context from 4chan because some guy made up an ethnicity. Allegedly, they identified as a displaced people, which is probably the context they were going for.

Regardless, it's incredibly funny watching this group of dipsticks advocate for something under false pretenses. It goes to show that you can't take these groups seriously.

Also, for anyone calling those people "Nazis", stop. Don't give them the satisfaction of associating them with a significant threat from World War II. They're not Nazis. They're just racists. The only things they have in common with real Nazis is that they're losers who happen to be white.

[rainslacker]

Could be something someone saw at some point and it just made an impression without them really knowing what it was. If I saw that example they had linked in the article without an article going with it, it might stick with me in some way. Artists tend to keep those kinds of things in their minds longer too, since their brains just work like that.

[Duke19]

Good on Bungie for addressing it - but not gonna lie, I had never even heard of Kekistan before

[Kribwalker]

Neither had I, but I'd seen people posting that frog thing

[BlindGuyMcSqueazy]

Good for Bungie for removing something that hints at a meme?

There's no limit to what people will get offended by these days.

[Cmv38]

Apparently you didn't read the article.

[DragonKnight]

@Cmv38: I read the article and Bungie are idiots. Kek and Kekistan are memes. Nothing more. It's hilarious how the regressives label everything a hate symbol.

[GottaBjimmyb]

What is in the article that changes anything? KEK is a troll/meme, used in MANY different instances. It is not a racists symbol...

It seems like people are just to sensitive and lazy to actually understand what they are talking about. They see ONE racist troll post something, then suddenly it makes every use of that racist...

http://knowyourmeme.com/mem...
https://pepethefrogfaith.wo...

[GrubsterBeater]

The snowflake liberals at it again, being professionally offended at anything and everything.

I'm waiting for them to start burning books. It's kinda funny that they are fighting "fascism" by being... FASCIST. Meanwhile, there is no real fascism that they are fighting.

A wise man once said "Fascism will one day come in the name of Liberalsm." Couldn't have been more right....

[Duke19]

I didn't bother researching it - and apparently it is just some stupid meme. That said from the responses here Im glad they removed it - Who the hell cares if it is or isnt in the game

[staticall]

@BlindGuyMcSqueazy
"There's no limit to what people will get offended by these days."
Hey, that's offensive, please remove this ASAP and apologize on Twitter or else i will cry about it in my Tumblr!
Kek

[Asuka]

Its because Kekistan isnt real. Whole internet gaming community getting trolled by 4chan today

[Adrian_v01]

This has nothing to do with being trolled by 4chan. Fact is that the flag has been used on extremist rallies, even if that application of the flag missed the point why the flag exists. It is only logical for a company to keep it's product away from negative publicity. It's the same as promoters quitting deals with progamers who use sexist/racist etc. slurs. I find it difficult to comprehend why people can't understand this.

Even the swastika was just a harmless religious symbol before it was turned into something else.

[Asuka]

@Adrian

I don't agree with you. These racist or extremist or whatever you call them will use anything to spread hate. By your logic we shouldn't wear clothes or use the internet because i can guarantee both of those have been used to spread hate moreso than this "kekistan" flag.

The silliness has to stop somewhere, and by acknowledging that flying a nonexistent flag associated with no real organization was hateful whether or not it was used at a hate rally is exactly what these people want you to think. Giving these people anykind of acknowledgement is exactly what they want.

[DangerousDAN]

It's their product and if they want to steer clear of anything resembling a hate group's symbol (real or not), they can, and absolutely worries me that many here are angered by its removal.

[Asuka]

@Dan

100% correct. Not once have i argued against Bungie about their decision.

[DarXyde]

Trust me, the people who carry that flag with pride have no idea what they're doing. Like, at all. It doesn't mean what they think it does. I dont think Bungie should have removed it. Read up on Egyptian mythology and you'll find out why this movement this hilarious.

Kekistan is not real. It's not a thing. It's fake news. Worse than that actually: it's meme culture wrapped up in ethnic mythology.

[InKnight7s]

So now they are afraid of losing fans for their own staff behaviors or whatever these toxics minds!! Pathetic. Its identical to the K itself,colors, font, and overall design and there is no different. Fire who designed it. Or else people should quit this.
Edit:
Sarcastic.

[Pintheshadows]

'The ‘Kekistan’ flag is often flown in support of those groups, and in marches promoting racism and white nationalism.'

This is not true.

[InKnight7s]

That descriping KKK not KKKK (kekistan) so yeah I think it is an internet "bla bla bla" thing.

[Pintheshadows]

There is another flag that looks like it which some idiot journo mistook for the Kek flag.

[mopground]

we re actually witnessing goerbels "if you keep repeating a lie..." in action. its pretty scary.

[Christopher]

It has been at rallies promoting white nationalism.

The fact is, those they are making fun of have used it not knowing the joke and now it's associated with them.

[aaronaton]

It only promotes how gullible liberals are, that was it's purpose and still is

[Christopher]

Liberals are gullible because people attend rallies with racists holding up a flag...

I think people hold their attempts at Internet jokes to too high of a level and use it as a crutch to excuse when any symbol becomes associated with hate groups due to their usage by hate groups who, and here's the funny part that you blame liberals for, don't know that the people who provide the imagery are using to make fun of them.

Hint: liberals, conservatives, and anyone else do not care about Internet jokes. They care about not supporting anything that hate groups are associated with, though.

[Gh05t]

Again, if all the hate groups drove Fords would all the sudden Ford be a symbol of hate? Anyone who owns a ford would be questioned for their association with the Nazi party? If they decided to start bringing flags with the democrat party donkey on it would all the sudden every democrat be a Nazi supremacist?

Just because they bring a flag does not mean they or the public at large get to all the sudden change the meanings of things. People like you are allowing them this power and its sad. Just wait, one day I hope they start supporting something you like just to watch you try and say you arent a racist because you like it too.

I have a feeling you dont care because Kek (or whatever, I never knew this existed until this article) means nothing to you personally. But someday something you like may be associated with hate, and then what? You are willing to just let them have it? Let others just rebrand and redefine whatever they want?

Seems kind of like the coward move of rather than fight the ACTUAL Nazis you are going to fight the people who dont think its a symbol of hate and have no supremacy intentions. because its easier to get people who also hate them to buckle under.

Focus on the real issue and its the supremacists, not people here defending the actual meaning of a symbol and not willing to let others rebrand it as racist.

[Christopher]

Flags are signs of representation, cars are not.

Get out with stupid apologists logic.

***But someday something you like may be associated with hate,***

Not likely. I don't hold up signs or flags as symbols of who I am. Nor do I define myself by symbols or specific groups. I speak only for myself and no group speaks on behalf of me as a person.

[rainslacker]

@Chris

As an American, I would hold up an American flag as representative of something about myself. However, there are people in this world that associate that flag with some vile and evil things. Does my pride as an american, and willing to accept the american flag as a symbol of my patriotism mean that I am what those people say I am?

[Christopher]

***Does my pride as an american, and willing to accept the american flag as a symbol of my patriotism mean that I am what those people say I am?***

It means you accept it as part of who you are and should accept the criticism associated with it. It's easy to be a patriot when it's not your citizens being affected or bombed by the actions of those who also fly the American flag.

[Gh05t]

"Flags are signs of representation, cars are not. "

"Get out with stupid apologists logic."

Stupid apologist logic... or you are too short sighted to see where this is already leading.

It must be my imagination that Ultaviolet is spreading a petition to get Starbucks to pull their stores out of Trump owned buildings, because and get this STARBUCKS is supporting hate. If they dont pull out (Because contracts and business deals matter) does anyone who supports Starbucks now support hate too?

I am not apologizing for anyone, I am trying to show you that just because someone you dont like holds any symbol if someone else MAY hold the same symbol does not make them the SAME.

Just because a white nationalist group holds the Kek flag does not mean that everyone else who also holds it is a white nationalist. To start labeling them as such is a false equivalency.

So how about you get out of here with your short sighted, prejudice, "I dont define myself by symbols", false equivalency logic.

"It's easy to be a patriot when it's not your citizens being affected or bombed by the actions of those who also fly the American flag."

Is it? Is it easy to hold true to the meaning of a symbol when others abuse it, or use it for things you dont believe are right or know are wrong?

[Pintheshadows]

Different flag Christopher. Sorry to say it, but in this case you are factually incorrect.

[Christopher]

***Different flag Christopher. Sorry to say it, but in this case you are factually incorrect.***

I am not. It was even ironically at the MOAR this weekend. As was the Blue Lives Matter flag and some white nationalist group flags.

This isn't about what the flag was started as, it's how it has become associated with nationalist rallies without any public context. It's like Gamer Gate gaining extremely bad press because of the people who send death threats of purposefully doxx and harass women online using that as a cover. If you don't control it, the bad representation of your label or image becomes associated with what you intend to mock.

[Antifan]

Kek is a millennial libertarian group, not a far right supremacy group like the KKK.

[BeRealisticNow]

So take it out because of 4chan trolls. Alright

[Fearmonkey]

The whole Kek thing is a 4chan joke, people are being played, its not an alt right hate symbol. Its trolling people who are so uptight they cant see straight.

[gamingisnotacrime]

but is so liberal...

[Aither]

Which is what makes it so hilarious. The 4chan folks are geniuses at trolling the PC police.

[Italiano1234567]

O man i have those equipped to..

[Jinger]

Same! But I dyed my black and red so I don't even see the symbol haha

[Bobafret]

The Cult of Kek, also known as the Church of Kek, is a satirical religion based around the worship of the ancient Egyptian deity Kek[4] (also spelled Kuk or Keku), an androgynous God of darkness and chaos who is often depicted as a frog or frog-headed man in male form or a snake-headed woman in female form. On 4chan, the character Pepe the Frog is often considered a modern avatar of the diety, who uses ancient Egyptian meme magic to influence the world, often by fulfilling the wishes of posts that end in repeating numbers. Additionally, the deity is associated with the popular 4chan slang term “Kek”, and is often embraced by supporters of 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Practitioners are known to frequently write “praise Kek,” and jokingly refer to the church as a “religion of peace.”

[rainslacker]

Who knew 4Chan could be so creative?

[Crakface]

Busted. Wish i hadnt spent money on this trash now.

[Kabaneri]

Stop lying.

[VariantAEC]

@Crackface
A perfect reason why Bungie should just leave it in. If you did buy it and are so hurt that you won't support them in the future then its your loss. Just know you're clearly in the minority.

[Xb1ps4]

Wtf... I had time to finally play and then this bs happens... seriously... I can't even play the story, there's has to Ben a better way of doing this bungie!

[Tankbusta40]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA, Nothing surprises me anymore.

Please educate yourself before accusing people of hate. This all blown out of proportion and is a stupid meme.

Some people love to be outraged. They just walk around looking for something to be offended by.

[Asuka]

I agree. Hate will always be there if you go looking for it. Must be so tiring... being cynical all the time that is.

[InTheZoneAC]

who even knew what the stupid symbol looked like to begin with to even make this an article

And it's "Bungie is", not "Bungie are", wtf

[Eien]

Funny to see a company, whose purpose is to make entertainment, don't even know culture aspects of their audience. There is going to be a 4chan consultant job in the near future at this rate.

[Profchaos]

It's a cartoon frog I swear only in America is a cartoon frog that anyone can use in a meme become a hate symbol this is why the rest of the world laugh at you

[VariantAEC]

It's a "hate symbol" all over the world now... Some how that happened and while America was the source... THE REST OF EUROPE (and western society) didn't need to follow suit!

[Profchaos]

They didn't follow suit they got a depressed cartoon frog in short little typically crappy memes but it's not a hate symbol it's not a hammer and sickle after all

[rainslacker]

I've always had my suspicions about Kermiit. I always thought his relationship to Miss Piggy was always just a way to hide his extreme racism to those with green skin.

[Tankbusta40]

Art should be done away with!!!! everything is a symbol of hate!!! Lets add alphabets and words to the list also...never know what could offend people...hey I think Oral history!!! is going to take hold again sooner or later!!!

[annoyedgamer]

Burn the books!

[Bobafret]

It's probably already happening.

[DashMad]

Lol some people just got triggered by so manything nowadays. it's just a joke meme on 4chan that SJW and Snowflake take it too seriously lol. recently OK hand symbol also become symbol for white supremacy on the US that's how dumb some people are nowadays that they can't understand that it's just a joke.

[VariantAEC]

This is already happening... Simple words whether given any context at all like Nigger and Kike are too offensive and taboo to be used these days... People act as if the gentle whispering of these words will send people into deep spiraling depression, break bones or straight up kill swaths of humans.
It's unreal!

[Uglyday]

I think Pepsi is rasict because it has the colors red,white and blue and everyone knows whites in the red,white and blue land are all rasict pigs who keep rasict words alive in their music and popular media and even use the words as a standard greeting. Down with white youtubers for keeping that horrible word alive!

[OffRoadKing]

We have to make sure we dont hurt the feelings of precious little snowflakes at all costs.

[staticall]

And most of them probably didn't even bought the damn game (and not planning to)

[PlayableGamez-]

Bungie just made one of the best skins ever just to remove it. :(

[gamingisnotacrime]

ok...

[Kabaneri]

Kek is not a hate symbol. Neither is Pepe the Toad. Stop trying to censor everything you intolerant leftist snowflakes.

[Tewi-Inaba]

Some one tell blizzard pls ban all orcs
They keep saying Kek and my skin can only take so much

[rainslacker]

Maybe Bungie will take a cue from Blizzard and replace it with something even less appropriate.

Although I don't think that was intentional on Blizzards part, as they've changed too many other things since then.

[WhyHate]

Doing the right thing by shunning hate propaganda and symbolism, what a novel approach.

[Bobafret]

After vastly broadening what defines hate.

[WhyHate]

Don't you need to go fly off somewhere in your slave one.

[Chinkyinc18]

This reminds me of the old South Park episode where the KKK figures out that whatever they support is hated by mainstream society. So, they start advocated for things they don't like so it will be associated with them and society will hate it.

[WhyHate]

Also it's almost an exact match, someone at Bungie knew exactly what they were doing.

[WhyHate]

I would never expect hatful people to see hateful things.

[GrubsterBeater]

You keep on fighting the imaginary fight, guy. Those evil racists need someone to be professionally outraged, and who can virtue signal at anything that can be made racist. Don't melt, snowflake. You need to make it to the trauma counseling from having Ben Shapiro show up and speak at Berkeley. Hot chocolate isn't gonna drink itself at the counseling meetings, and the Lego' s and Play-Doh sure as he'll aren't gonna play with themselves at the counseling meetings.

[GrubsterBeater]

@Whyhate

"I would never expect hatful people to see hateful things."

First off, your name is ironic, because Liberals seem to be the most hateful of all, using identity politics and professional outrage to virtue signal whenever possible.

You people act like you have the moral high ground by virtue signalling about how everyone is so hateful, but you are so open and Liberal and above the simpletons who work blue collar jobs and just want less government in their lives and less government telling them what they can and can't say, while wanting goog jobs, wages, and peace. You are the ones starting all the hate and division with your identity politics and it's disgusting.

By the way, the people you are referring to as "hateful", probably meaning us conservatives, are just the opposite... We don't use identity politics to make EVERYTHING about race. We don't care about the color of your skin, but the content of your character. You people are destroying this country.

Liberalism = Fascism.

Just passing through the comments

[WhyHate]

This is what 😂ChetManly🙄 originally posted:

"Oh no, not a symbol of hate in a game about killing and dominating your enemies".

So, @Chetmanly your original posted was a little to racist even for your own taste, just try replying saying you never edited your post from the above statement.

This is a prime example of "closeted racism" at it's finest and it's rampant on NG4 and in other examples through out the internet at large.

Two-faced people

[Eiffel]

Granted the comment didn't make much sense, but how was it racist?

[Injusticewarrior]

Oh so that person is a racist now?
Laughable.
Maybe they educated thier self, found out it has nothing to do with hate and edited.
But thank you, oh so nobel hero for calling them out... Like a bully.
Pat yourself on the back white knight hero.

I'm not playing your mind games slimy...

[Eiffel]

@WhyHate

If you can't explain why then you're just spouting nonsense. You're intentionally being intellectually tone deaf. I challenge you to give me a legitimate reason why his comment was racist. Failure to do so will only make you look dumber.

[Injusticewarrior]

Oh so now anyone that disagrees with you is also a racist?
Mind games?! LoL
The force is weak with this one.

[WhyHate]

LOL, you're sarcastically calling me the "hero" and you just planted an excess that "Chet" could use in your above post.
What? He can't take personal responsible and answer for himself? No you couldn't, wouldn't let that happen to a fellow snowflake right.

And you're the one on here name calling saying I'm the bully, you couldn't have responded any more ironically.

And for what, because I had the nerve to question his statement that was made on a public forum.

Get real

[WhyHate]

Typical racist tactics place the ownership on someone, something else and actively try to not focus on the original topic raised.

His silence speaks volumes while you and you cohort's consternation spells out your intent for all to see.

If you don't get it read his original post again, if you really "want" to acknowledge it, or do you want to just continue to talk in circles?

You're not cleverer enough for mind games dude.

[Bobafret]

The term racism will mean essentially nothing by the time the thought police are finished with it.

[Eiffel]

@WhyHate

That burden is on you not me. You called him something and refuse to elaborate on it when challenged to do so. You type a lot yet always manage to say nothing. You're clearly not clever enough to discuss anything with anyone but yourself. You're quite the ignorant person.

Grow up you 38 year old man child

Racist? Seriously you people need to get some help. You devalue the definition of the word and that is actually sad cause real racism is no good but by using it incorrectly all the time you make it's meaning worthless.

Cry about it hard enough and anything can become a hate symbol. Tired of this bs...

[TheHan]

People getting upset because it's a symbol that doesn't mean anything. Just cause it could be similar doesn't mean it's the Symbol they are thinking of. Get a grip people if we let little things like this obstruct our creativity then we may not have much room for new things sense everything can be similar to something else if taken too far. If it's their choice to remove said armor then so be it. But to take it away based on a symbol that means nothing than that's sad.

[BlindMango]

The Kekistan flag? A hate symbol?? Lmfaooooo

[NicSage]

Here we go again. More cry babies.

[Mikeyy]

Lmao! 4 chan wins again. The pc culture left types do zero research again.

Kekistan isn't some hate group, it's just another 4 chan meme for the /Pol board, you stupid asses.

Same with pepe.

Just because people don't agree with you doesn't instantly make them Nazi's.

[Mr Lahey]

What did "they" win and what is it "they" don't agree with? Enlighten me..

[Gh05t]

Ill bite.

"They" win because you and Bungie are taking Kek seriously to the point of removing or changing art to make sure it doesnt even slightly resemble the fictitious symbol made to TROLL.

From what I can tell (not knowing anymore about Kek than I looked up yesterday because of this article) "They" created something to troll and it has grown into a big enough deal that it is getting the attention further than their forums to the point of again changing art design. that is a big win for a troll.

Unless you dont understand the point of a troll I dont see how you couldnt understand how this is a win.

[ClanPsi1]

Hate symbol? Isn't KEK just an online trolling group? That's pretty far from a hate group. They're like anti-Single Japanese Women.

[stokedAF]

I'm more surprised at the lack of a trigger warning from this website with such a disgusting article. Thank god they are addressing this as fast as possible. Who knows what would happen if I accidentally saw this.

Good job Bungie!!! Zero tolerance for this crap. I don't expect the "Right" or the "Alt-Right", also known as the "Not Right" to care or understand.

[Bobafret]

The apologies from Bungie are so over the top they almost seem sarcastic.

[Ashunderfire86]

The racist Trolls are going to eat this one up lol! Some claim it to be just an internet meme joke, but that's how all racist start out with just jokes! Then they get serious... Funny how the first American comedy was making a fun of black people with blackface, and the Jim Crow Dance. Yes I said it! Jim Crow Dance! It was a dance before it was used as a law. That is where they got serious, and it was the same thing with the KKK in those white hoodies just to scare people...But they got serious!!! Especially with them hangings. That Kek flag was and shield was used during that Charlotte riot with a racist agenda. Yes Pippy the Frog is racist too! Now watch this sellout Sambo Coon of a black man! You will see the truth.

[rainslacker]

No, that's not how all racists start off. That's not even what it's about.

This was started to try and point out how ridiculous it is. If the "movement" moved on beyond that, it's because someone took ownership of it, and made it into something else, and used it as the basis for whatever they believe.

Just look at gamergate. It started off as something completely different. It was twisted by otherrs, and then eventually, about the only people who really would say they were gamergaters are those who want to be a**holes.

Not sure if actually a hate-symbol or if Bungie is just playing along with a meme ._.

[NecoTehSergal]

That meant to be a KEK Symbol or something? Like the Kek Flag? Kekistani people?

Not a hate symbol, but whatever Bungie-cucks think to keep their PC audience pleased?

[Nesflix]

Bunch of sissies. What has this world come to ...

[FITSniper]

So because a few people got butt hurt about something the vast majority of us have no clue about because groups that use it are a few hundred people at best, they're going to change the game? That's just stupid.

Ever think these guys created something off gaming "culture" and Bungie, being a gaming company, created something similar unintentionally?

[rainslacker]

It'd be nice if the people that weren't upset about it, and understand why Bungie reacting to the reactors is stupid, were to actually start to go and inform Bungie why they're being stupid, then maybe they'll do more research beyond looking at the first google link that pops up in the future. If this happened enough in the instances where things like this happened, maybe more companies would stop trying to placate the overly sensitive tens of people who might make a fuss about it on the forums or twitter.

[Muadiib]

I didn't need another reason to not buy this game, so glad this games sales have been much lower than the poor first games.

[antikbaka]

next time sjw will believe that milk or lemon is hate simbol....or oxygen (i wish)

[Gh05t]

Nazis breathe oxygen... Do you? You must be a Nazi... Burn the witch!

We have come so full circle its scary.

[PistolsAtDawn]

Killer Instinct is a hate symbol? Can we please stop catering to fragile weak-willed people? I DO NOT support any hate groups, but Some people could do with being offended a little bit more often to toughen them up. At some point you have to realize that you are NOT the center of the world and censoring everyone else is not your job or responsibility...in fact, your responsibility is probably getting a job.

[Mulletino]

You just made that piece of armor a martyr.

[khinter]

I think we, at least US, need some hard times to fall, or something. Really need to ground some of these snowflakes. This shit is getting ridiculous

[ion666]

This is the definition of ignorance. Also people are under the assumption that the Onion is a real news network. Retards everywhere.

[TheGreatTopHat]

Wow ... this is dumb.

[GordyNYC]

We've officially jumped the shark with all these "feelings" based decisions. Where will it end?

[BioDead]

Can someone explain to me where and what the "hate symbol" is... since i cant see it.

[metalgod88]

...this is what the world has come to...

[Ants909]

Oh fuck off.

[MadMax]

I wanna know who the pansies are who even complained about this. Probably some pansy Antifa gamers. Unfortunately there are a lot of them and they are actually the real hate group. It's a frikin world of Warcraft trolling meme! Hate group you say? Lol what in the world? I guess you need to ban watch dogs 2 and all the Antifa head gear in Gta then. If anything kek is mocking Antifa! Now Antifa on the other hand is a real hate group. Talk about evil scum, they are it. Get over yourselves people.

[CrowbaitBob]

An internet meme us now considered a hate symbol. This society is f^%$ed.

[Kalebninja]

So not only did racists steal poor Pepe but they stole KEK too? wtf?

[Gh05t]

It wasnt stolen, it was given to them after they "borrowed" it by the same people who hated when it was used against them. You see the people that call this racist dont much care and frankly it makes fun of them so when racists groups use (not steal) the symbol they have a path to get it denounced and thought of as a symbol for hate and the ability to convince the ignorant of the same.

With this path I am seriously considering convincing supremacists to start wearing Starbucks clothes, march with starbucks coffee cups, only drink starbucks and have the meetings near them and carry flags with the starbucks symbol... Then what would all these people do when they realize something they like has been co-opted by a hate group?
