A few years ago I would put it firmly outside of the range of Hanlon’s Razor and thought that there are neo-nazis working for fashion companies, looking at the infamous Reichsadler t-shirt from BOY brand (you know the one, it’s everywhere), but these days, I am more and more amazed by human stupidity. The fact that…

“Someone” could “easily” mistake the two? Have you seen the lazy Chinese knockoffs of famous brands, tracksuit pants with four stripes instead of three, misspelled brand names, etcetera? The logo in Destiny isn’t even THAT close.

Has it ever crossed your mind it goes the other way? Some trolls come up with an ideologically-laden fad, like pissing your pants for feminism, the clueless but ideologized group the fad was aimed at picks it up, it becomes a real thing, and trolls just laugh because they love to see the world burn.

Now I am predicting that the alt-rightards will hijack the Destiny logo itself for any nefarious purpose. They will call The Traveler “The Great White Hope” or something like this, make the entire story so ridiculously race-war that it breaks Poe’s Law. They’ll start depicting the enemy factions as racial stereotypes,…

Well, they just gave them The Last Word. That symbol, mirrored “KI”, four lines, normal “KI”? “Yours, not mine.”

No, you’re pushing it, and really hard. But if you really want it changed, here’s a replacement that will honor you.

The Republican Party, why do you ask?

NERRRR.

When I’m saying “cunt”, it means that things went truly and thoroughly to shit and I just reached 2REKT syndrome territory. I remember saying this exactly once, after a particularly ignominious defeat in Overwatch. I just lost my shit and roared “Great going, you fucking CUNTS!” on voice chat.

Yep, here’s something done in the time needed to boil an egg:

You mean, the *chan trolls just come up with branding for the alt-right, throw it to them and don’t give a shit what happens next?

It would be really, really hard to convert the crucifix wholesale into a white nationalist symbol because they can’t use it to distinguish themselves.

Come over here, they already do. And half of the local bishops are okay with it, hell, they’re riding the bandwagon.

Wow. That one’s one of two different kinds of bullshit.

Sure, waste your time on code-word wars while the real bad shit festers under the rug where they swept it while you pretended not to see it.

Well, in Iran ties are indeed banned as a symbol of Western imperialism, so there’s that.

DMCA was seriously misused here, and Vanaman’s behavior was childish. But yeah, I’m amazed that nobody hooked Piddypoo’s ass for that “Kill all Jews” stunt, as it could be construed as hate speech and result in pretty heavy consequences, in a much better, clearer way.

I wonder whether character levels would transfer. Because that one makes a lot of changes (I have an Epic Ranger at lvl12, and he does scary things with pistols).

...is it wrong that I’d love to see that happen?

Dude, you should hear me explaining something complicated to my friends. There’s a trope for it, “Sophisticated as Hell”.
