Feel free, be respectful of everyone in the community and keep discussion about the game if you choose to post about it and we'll get along fine.

You've got pretty questionable marketing channels there, bud.

It just got a Sseth youtube video, some % of his fans run in that sphere; not much I can do about it.

I dunno, they seem to be doing just fine.

5 year old game with 2400 reviews. 96% positive.

The upsurge in fashlite crybabies throwing a fit about the game because they got banned for spreading nazi rehtoric on the official discord server has resulted in a full 10% of the game's reviews being left in just the last month alone, and of those 90% of them are positive.

If anything this has caused an upsurge in sales and good publicity from the people who actually matter, and I'm happy to promote and contribute to that success!

If you use it and don't want to be associated with nazis, you'd probably stop when you learn about the association, wouldn't you.

I bet you believe the ok symbol is also alt-right. KEK started from WoW idgaf who uses it. It's harmless.

You understand that's the point of a dog whistle, right? To take something that is otherwise harmless or innocuous and then turn it into something sinister while maintaining plausible deniability? Pepe or kek wouldn't work as dog whistles if they weren't otherwise harmless.

With that kind of logic anything can be turned into a dog whistle. So if a bunch of "alt-right nazi's" started using "qud" as a dog-whistle, what would you do? Ban the game itself?

You give them power by fearing their "dog-whistles"

Also, the world isn't full nazi's like you think it is.
The KKK had around 4 million members in the 1920's. Now, there's an estimated 8,000 Klan members nationwide. Racism is on the decline but you people act like its taking over the country.

oh is it still 2016? the whole point of dogwhistles is that they provide plausible deniability. if u want to stop chuds infesting a community then you just gotta not humor them.
