Svastika in game!

[Antares]

Hi everyone! I have just found out that there are some players, in the game, that are using the 'Svastika' as an emblem. I find it very offensive and profoundly wrong to even include such a symbol in the game. I would like to see it removed from 'For Honor'.

Swastika (also known outside the Indian subcontinent as the Hakenkreuz, gammadion cross, cross cramponnée, croix gammée, fylfot, or tetraskelion) (as a character ♥ or ♥) is an ancient religious symbol originating from the Indian subcontinent, that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross with four legs each bent at 90 degrees.[1][2] It is considered to be a sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism and dates back at least 11,000 years.

The paired swastika symbols are included, at least since the Liao Dynasty (AD 907–1125), as part of the Chinese writing system (♥ and ♥) and are variant characters for 萬 or 万 (wàn in Mandarin, man in Korean, Cantonese, and Japanese, vạn in Vietnamese) meaning "all" or "eternity" (lit. myriad). The swastika marks the beginning of many Buddhist scriptures. In East Asian countries, the left-facing character is often used as symbol for Buddhism and marks the site of a Buddhist temple on maps.

In Chinese, Japanese, and Korean the swastika is also a homonym of the number 10,000, and is commonly used to represent the whole of creation, e.g. "the myriad things" in the Dao De Jing. During the Chinese Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zetian (684–704) decreed that the swastika would also be used as an alternative symbol of the Sun.


The Hachisuka swastika, a family crest used by the Japanese Hachisuka clan
When the Chinese writing system was introduced to Japan in the 8th century, the swastika was adopted into the Japanese language and culture. It is commonly referred as the manji (lit. "Man-character"). Since the Middle Ages, it has been used as a mon by various Japanese families such as Tsugaru clan, Hachisuka clan or around 60 clans that belong to Tokugawa clan.[48] On Japanese maps, a swastika (left-facing and horizontal) is used to mark the location of a Buddhist temple. The right-facing swastika is often referred to as the gyaku manji (逆♥?, lit. "reverse swastika") or migi manji (右♥?, lit. "right swastika"), and can also be called kagi jūji (鉤十字?, literally "hook cross").

In Chinese and Japanese art, the swastika is often found as part of a repeating pattern. One common pattern, called sayagata in Japanese, comprises left- and right-facing swastikas joined by lines.[49] As the negative space between the lines has a distinctive shape, the sayagata pattern is sometimes called the key fret motif in English.

As a pottery graph of unknown provision and meaning the swastika-like sign is known in Chinese Neolithic culture (2400–2000 BCE, Liu wan 柳湾, Qinghai province).

Is hard to belive people is going to put It there to rapresent the sun in buddhism/hinduism . Consider too the maturity and salty levels of the actual game community

Yes you're better off reporting the people with this kind of emblem.

You can pretend it's okay to use it because of the origins of the symbol and what have you, but Nazi Germany ruined it. It is now forever a hate symbol. And using it even jokingly is massively problematic and an insult to WW2 survivors, which would probably be your very own grandparents.

Don't support genocide -> report the players.

the Svastika aint evil, but the German Nazi version of it with its reversed tip´s was/is ..

The original Svastika is a symbol of God, Good Luck, Life, Light and love.. its over 5000 years old and are one if not the oldest symbol in the world .. its a Sun sign

even the vikings used it and the buddhists

There are other symbols to choose, though? Why would you insist on using a controversial symbol?

"massively problematic"

Your misguided thought-policing is the only thing that's "problematic" on the internet these days.
