Hammer and sickle - hate symbol allowed?
I'm in shock, that even when Steam have policy of "no discrimination or offensive content", here is allowed symbol Hammer and sickle ☭ . This is hate symbol too, because communists regimes who used / using this symbol, brutally murdered millions people and they keep murdering.

Or here are allowed avatars like Stalin, Mao and other mass murderers. Why this is not banned?

You are very right. Good catch.

By this logic, the Cross is a hate symbol. Arguably the greatest of all hate symbols.

They are not called soviets anymore. And so? They aren't doing what Hitler did. Wars happen and Ukraine isn't innocent they could of avoided the blood shed but chose not to. What zel does when the war is over will prove who the bad person is if the war ends.

If we were to ban symbols because they were used by people that murdered other people then we would need to ban every religious symbol there is..

1. why not any other religion?
2. have you ever tried side by side comparison of 10 tenets and the communist manifesto?

The hammer and sickle should be treated the same way as the nazi swastika.

It is an oppressive symbol from an oppressive regime that has killed hundreds of millions of innocent people worldwide every time communism is "tried".

Follow the money. when rich people are killed symbols are banned, when poor people arte killed nothing happens.

Besides USA invited nazgermans and created nasa.

A majority of the people the nazi's killed were poor, and the swasitka is banned in Germany

But not in power. Because they fled to usa.

Yes, people died under communist ideals.

Nice passive voice. Are you a journalist by any chance? Yep, people just up and died. :steammocking:

Good point.

people kill each other all the time, it doesn't matter if it's for a swastika, stars, an animal or two yellow objects crossed on a red flag. Even the star-spangled banner has blood on it, the union jack does too and so on.

by that logic, everything is a hate object, just so long as it's affiliated with in some way to evil acts. But the thing with good and evil, it's a concept, it isn't a defined thing others can draw from, as what is considered okay to one is reprehensible to another (like trash vs. treasure, if you want a more simple example).
