*Warning* SENSITIVE & SERIOUS TOPIC *Caution*

[Customer ******* Stole My Money!]

maybe the devs dont follow current affairs

but there has been alot of controversey over some pedophiles associated with some pizza parlor in the US
"Pizzagate"

one of the side issue's that was brought up during the exposition was symbolism.
in this case it is a smaller triangle inside a larger triangle.
most commonly depicted in a "swirl" manner as well.
other times it is represented as small hand inside a larger hand.

this symbol was established as "pedophile" symbolism

should you have any doubts or concerns, you can google "pizzagate"
whether you avoid youtube slant in favor of actual tv reporter coverage doesnt matter.
as long as you can recognize that this made headlines and is on TV so you cant contradict the fact what this symbol is used for.


TL DR
so with this current content package i have noticed this particular symbol on the chests.
i was wondering if Thee Developers were aware of what this symbol/icon means and how it makes people feel when they see it?

Naruto was also a heavily pedophiliac Japanese cartoon since the symbol of Konoha, the Leaf Village, was clearly of pedophile inspiration

Remember when a bunch of morons thought Hillary Clinton had a Satanic pedophile warlock cult that met in DC area pizza restaurants?

I believe ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ still think that.

Lul what the hell is this thread

[HughManatee]

Doesn't it matter that the FBI LBL logos are backwards from the Prehistoric Chests?

An upside down 5-pointed star in a circle is a Satanic symbol, but a right-side up one is a Wiccan symbol that has something to do with femininity.

A right side up swastika is a Buddhist symbol, but an angled one is the Nazi swastika.

Orientation is everything in symbols.

[Customer ******* Stole My Money!]

so i have a poignant yet hypothetical question for all the people struggling with the context...

WHAT would you have to say to somebody who was a victim of molestation and they recognized this symbol was worn by the perp?

whether Thee Developer was aware of their actions or not ; aware of the symbolism or not - how does that make you FEEL to consider/reflect on how that would make a VICTIM feel under those circumstances?

[Customer ******* Stole My Money!]

my solution is to maybe hire "public relations" or somebody who knows/studies what is "politically correct" material to have in a game.
and my second solution is to NOT use these specific textures again, or at the very least edit the pedo-symbolism off the texture.

i'd like to express that im in no way casting accusations either, nor do i expect any exposition upon Thee Developer, nor am i threatening any form of law suit.

i am expecting the offensive material be addressed and then fixed , please and thanks.

This has nothing to do with politically correct, this has to do with symbols used by pedos to communicate with each other.

Imagine a player here is a pedo, he will see the symbol and he will email Stunlock studios about "pedo material"

1a) An upside down 5-pointed star in a circle is a Satanic symbol, 1b) but a right-side up one is a Wiccan symbol that has something to do with femininity.

2) A right side up swastika is a Buddhist symbol, but an angled one is the Nazi swastika.

Orientation is everything in symbols.

1a) are you refering to the baphemets we see in the game map? a baphomet symbolizes human sacrifices or the destruction of mankind.
1b) the pentacle represents MANKIND depicted in a "acending form" or rather how mankind is suppose to "fullfil the circle of life"
it's a masculin an feminind symbol interchangably

it's orientation does express different meanings, however the premise of the symbol remains the same.

2) the "swastika" is actually a symbol for the sun, but then the Thule society uses the symbol to represent the "black sun"
this context of the particular symol relatively stayed the same regardless of the orientation.


HOWEVER - this is taking the conversation offtrack, but to summurize - > the orientation of symbols does not change the premise of the symbol, it is simply a modifier
like adding "ed" or "es" or puncuation to the end of a word

You cannot seriously think a guy will email a game development studio asking for pedophilic materials because of an arbitrary design on a chest that resembles a symbol that was used 10 years ago.

If this logo was mentioned in a more recent document, then sure, maybe the stuff you people are saying would hold more water. But it's old as hell, probably doesn't see use, and the devs are really under no obligation to change it for some internet schmucks who see more into it than anyone.

so your response to a victim of child abuse would be to dismiss them because the symbol WAS-USED ten years ago (and used up until now) -> that makes THEE VICTIM irrelevant or "old news"?????

or to say their painful memories are invalid or uncalled for because the symbol is orientated 4degree to the left????

I'm not really interested in arguing this, since you're putting words in my mouth. I have some coupon codes for tin foil though.

As somebody mentioned already, no it isn't. A swastika is a symbol of the sun, not just in Buddhism but in Hinduism, Jainism and different things around Eurasia. We already know it in numerous angles and forms from the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation.
At the same time we also have swastikas from the Roman Empire, ancient Greeks and Slavic and Finno-Ugric peoples and other parts of Europe, not related to the eastern symbolism. Just because it's a pretty obvious shape, there's nothing too unique about it (exactly like a spiral btw.. :) ).
Modern use started in the 19th century all around Europe from Finland to England and the reasons were the new discoveries about the Indo-European origins and connections and at the same time the rise of nationalistic ideas, ofc.

No, it isn't.
You should do some research on the subject. You wouldn't say so weird things like this:

A pentagram is a very old symbol again, known since the ancient Mezopotamia with several different meanings.
Mostly it's associated with some magical or supernatural thing. For example in Christian symbolism it means the five wounds of Christian and you can find it on many medieval miniatures and codexes. It has not much to do with Satanism, just in modern pop-culture.

Btw, in Wicca (even if that's just a neopagan religion, not historical), it represents the five elements (air, water, fire, earth, spirit) and nothing about 'feminity'.

Hey OP -- you know that ♥♥♥♥ was all fake right? And a lot of good decent people were shamed for having done nothing wrong... way to lean on the stupid side of humanity.

you dont find pentacles in judeo-christian churches, you find them in pagan-cathar (catholic) churches.

but as i've already expressed, this particular topic is a digression (off topic)
and i provided ample exposition into the these two symbols and how orientation does/does not affect the meaning of a symbol.

a triangle in a triangle means pedophilia whether it is drawn left to right or right to left, upside down, green/blue/red/purple ink.
