Racist avatar or name

[Jaque]

Hi,
i came across alot in CS:GO and what bugs me the most are people that use Nazi symbols and names. In most cases these are probably only some 14yr old kids who don't know what they are doing or trolls. Nevertheless I think that this ♥♥♥♥ is not funny at all and report them through their steam profile.

My question ist:
Does Steam do anything about this or are they ignoring such reports? What are the consequences for people using a Hakenkreuz as an avatar and Adolf Hitler as an ingame name?

if enough people report it as offensive it is offensive

What images can I upload as my avatar?
You may upload any image as long as it is not offensive, vulgar, or specifically prohibited in the Steam Online Conduct rules. Your avatar may be removed and you may be banned from the Steam Community if your avatar is inappropriate.

Oh you want this to be your little political safespace huh? You can't decide what profile picture poeple can have because of free speech. If you want a game thats a hugbox please go somewhere else, like candy crush.

Your comment just shows that you are not understanding why this bothers me. I don't care if anyone uses a BBC or Tits as an avatar and calls himself Long John Silver. But using Swastikas in combination with the ingame name Hitler is nothing funny and should not be tolerated.

If you can't take a few "racist" symbols what are you doing in an 18+ game? (most of you aren't 18+ anyway) (the swastika btw is an ancient germanic symbol and has nothing to do with racism)

Swastikas are used all around the world and have different meanings. Yesterday i saw someone with the username WhitePride and a Swastika as an avatar. Still not racist and offending to you? It is not about "taking something" but speaking up if people behave like ♥♥♥♥ and think its funny to call themself Hitler in CS:GO.

I'm pretty sure everything that has been mentioned so far is against ToU, you cannot symbolize anything that can be classed as offensive.

Oh noes, i'm offended by anyone using anonymous masks in their profile pictures, valve pls ban.

If you get offended by obvious trolls on the internet, I wonder why you are still here?

I never see the OP post it is offending he said it was not funny.
I agree with that.

Because I like playing the game?

Honest question to you:
Do you think it is ok to do the mentioned stuff? Why would you defend someone like that?

It's obviously not funny, but thats no reason to ban everyone for a bad joke.

of course it´s not ok. but - it´s the internet. the only thing that will happen - people tell you stupid ♥♥♥♥ about free speach and what swastikas are supposed to mean. wow. just think about these people like full retarded kids or smth. they don´t know what they do. they are lonesome. ugly. dunno. you can´t ban em all. you can´t talk do them. don´t feed them.

Why would White pride be racist, how could it offend anyone, his name wasn't kill all blacks or kill all whites, you get the point, so i can't understand how you perceive that as racist.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't report someone with a black panther picture or name.

Steam sells Wolfenstein which has nazi symbols in it so I'd say steam is ok with it.

The german version of wolfenstein does not have nazi symbols, so I'd say only a few european countries like germany don't like it.

So should the whole world enforce this ban on swasticas just to please a few countries? I say no, it's time to move on..

It's been 75 years, how many more years will people take offense to this ancient symbol.
