it's actually a hate symbol, watch the documentary. the creator has been doing his best to reclaim it but it's still considered a symbol for hate.

Anyway, the documentary Feels Good Man is pretty neat to watch.


It is a symbol of unity, prosperity and love, just because it was co opted by a bunch of right wing chuds does not mean we can't reclaim it for the betterment of humanity.

The adl should not be making decisions for us superior diablo franchise enjoyers and blizzard should listen to us!

Help me Fren I'm new to all of this, what makes a user racist if they post a frog emote? Is there some underlying nuance to the emote that blizzard wants banned?



Is it because the adl helped develop diablo 4 and therefore can make marketing decisions on blizzards behalf?

I'm just so confused as to why they would ban trading and frogs


Because of this:

Its a symbol for hate now - whether it was created to be that or not doesn't matter. The swastika was around for many many years before that German fk used it. Now its a symbol for hate even though it was not its original meaning. There's old church's around me here in MN that have them on the walls lol.

Ya that symbol is used all throughout india/ sea but oriented the other way around. Does that mean that the symbol should be banned? The more you censor speech/symbols the more people will want to use it out of spite.

We should rise above this division caused by our overlords and the adl to decide for ourselves what constitutes "hate symbols"

Why do you want to take away blizzard's freedom of speech on their own platform? If you're upset about what they've done in their game, you could play another game or even make your own. Getting mad and trying to force them to say/not say what you want is not the way.

the fact that some (((people))) have been outlawing symbols throughout the history, doesnt mean thats how it should be done. because who gets to decide if a symbol is hateful. and dont give me that shit about swastika because commies killed like 5x the amount of people and i dont see hammers and sickles banned <_<

I mean the commies were your ally, so that shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. Plus the commies targeted entire classes and ethnic groups the US didn’t have any of, so it’s not exactly like the US gives a shit about Russian atrocities, it’s not like the holodomor is taught in schools.

I think you’re working back from (((them))) instead of working forwards from what normal, polite people would give them benefit of the doubt if they’ve been told it’s a coded hate symbol.

You blaming (((them))) kind of makes their point.
