Nazi propaganda on steam

[mailbk]

Is it ok? Saw a number of profiles with swastika for example. And those people are of course are also aggressively react to messages

The best way to get people to do what you want them to do, is to tell them what they should not do.
Reporting may have an opposite effect to what you want to achieve.

Not only that, those same people will then come to this forum complaining that their pfp was banned. And then we have to listen to their complaints again.

By being told not to use a Nazi swastika as a profile picture.

Welp, moderation/Devs acting on the reported content. Often IS them telling a person to not do it.

As for Steam, punishments are RARELY permanent. For example the first username/profile picture ban is often only 24 hours.

Steam is made for 13 year olds. The first thing 13 year olds do is post Hitler online. Because 13 year olds just are like that.

It's just phase kids have to go through. Sending Valve employees after 13 year old kids to tell them that they cannot post Hitler online just seems silly.

It isn't made for 13 year olds. That is just the minimum age require to have an online account legally.

13 year olds should not be like that. Consequences have actions and the quicker they learn that the better they will handle life.
And not to mention, I was 13 years old. I never thought it'd be cool to post Hitler around.

In my opinion 13 year olds should be like that. They're allowed to be playing for Hitler if that's what they're playing. In the same way they can play as some kind of monster in a computer game, simply because they live in a free world where they can do that.

In many parts on the planet outside of your own country, you may simply use such symbols in movies, games, comic books, etcetera. And it's no big deal. People will just laugh about it, because they consider it satire or theatre. Something to laugh about and make fun off.

I've seen at least a few examples of that exact interaction on the Steam forums in the past week.

13 year olds are capable of reason and if the think Hitler or the Nazis are "funny" or "edgy" then that's a failure of the educational system. There is a difference between nazis and nazi iconography being in a WW2 video game or a game like Wolfenstein and them being displayed on real world profiles.

[AustrAlien2010]

If you want you can dress up like Hitler right now and walk through a city while wearing this symbol and nothing will happen to you. You can parade around all year looking like that.

You can just do that. No big deal. They may send a camera crew after you, but that's about it.

I was certainly well aware that nazis are genocidal and not something I should be imitating by the time I was 13.

Knowing they shouldn't doesn't mean they won't to be edgy.

They are, not as much as an adult but they aren't babies. They understand cause and effect, they understand some actions are not acceptable
