And as for Germans - I could go on a really long and nasty rant with colorful names, sexual references, doubts about their intelligence and masculinity, et caetera, et caetera. Beginning with USK and BDSM... Err, NSDAP... No, sorry, I meant BPjM. Don't let me stop you. |

I'm (in another role) an admin on a DoD public server (DoD=Day of Defeat ( a Half Life spin off ) .. and teh uniform or role in that game is refered to as "Axis" .
It's pretty obvious who the 2 teams represent but we still have to warn and kick as a last resort anyone who uses any N*** names or sprays. I susspect thats the same on most WW2 FPS games .. I myself play an Axis MG42 in DoD (occasionaly Allied .30cal) . I would suspect that in the right scenario within SL such an "Axis" v "Allies" RP might work . However This would prolly have to be in a locked down private sim so that any easily offended people would'nt have to observe by accident. ... And then .. it would be down to teh nosey do-gooders with nothing better to do than try to join such RP groups "Undercover" to try to cause trouble. To sum up .. without total historical accuracy it's accepted in many,many FPS games to play Axis .. here in SL .. YMMV. _____________________

While I am not sure how LL will come down on it, I think it all comes down to context.
Like, did you know that Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism all use the Swastika as a religious symbol? _____________________

And I was busy with Photoshop.
So, BPjM is a bunch of annoying people that exists only for banning good games in Germany. As is USK. As I believe that PEGI ratings are enough to guide the parents not to buy inappropriate games for their kids and adult people have freedom of choice, BPjM and USK are... OK, totalitarians in pink jackboots. _____________________

@ post 32 .. seriously grow up and please remember this forum is PG. You'd better not- Germany is the 2nd-most represented country in Second Life, both in terms of population and hours spent in-world. _____________________

I can quite understand that you may feel upset.. but you are assuming that people who may not think the Nazi uniform is offensive actually agree with what happened....having no opinion ( have to add it does turn my tummy though  ) in regards to a piece of clothing does not make someone a supporter of the holocaust.We all have our opinions thats what happens on a forum. We all have our stories to... some I am sure could make grown, rough, tough men cry... but not all choose to air them, but most are accepting of others views. I wish you well and hope you manage to calm down. _____________________

Yeah, they're also one of most represented countries on snuff and BDSM sites. In SL, their activities are similar. I'd love see some figures. |

If you can't, that's honestly not my problem, and I shouldn't be punished for your failings in that regard. --- German Tour Guide: You vill find more on Germany's contributions to ze arts in ze pamphlets ve have provided. Brian : Yeah, about your pamphlet... uh, I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945. There's just a big gap. Tour guide: Everyone vas on vacation. On your left is Munich's first city hall, erected in 15... Brian : Wait, what are you talking about? Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and... Tour Guide: We were invited. Punch vas served. Check vit Poland. Brian : You can't just ignore those years. Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany. Tour guide: Nope, nope. He left to manage a Dairy Queen. Brian : A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous. Tour guide: I vill hear no more insinuations about the German people. Nothing bad happened. Sie werden sich hinsetzen. Sie werden ruhig sein. Sie werden nicht beleidigen Deutschland. _____________________
I am myself indifferent honest; but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offenses at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.
