OMG Hockey referees are NAZI!

Not to mention that a lot of countries\organisations\(REFEREES, for example, as you can see)\etc have armbands as a part of uniform (some of those are even black or red). So should we persecute them now or what??

Look, "Mr. Teno",

I don't think you'll ever understand, because you're that ignorant and naive. We all get it. You want to sound "smart".

Now for those who do understand, the color theme used on the armbands are the same colours as the "Nazis"... Everything else except for the actual symbol itself ARE representative of the Third Reich banner. It is unmistakable. But, of course, you don't know that, because you don't know your history...

An all-red armband is an all-red armband.

An armband displaying the colours of the Third Reich is the "Path to the Third Reich", so to speak.

Judaism itself is a long history of enslavement and victimization. Obviously you haven’t seen any “Holocaust” movies from Hollywood to know that. But the hat of the officer in the artwork is unmistakably to the likeness of an SS-Offizier from the Third Reich. The crossbow has taken the place of the Luger and the mace the baton. The “Holocaust” movie Schindler’s List even purports this set-up…

What GGG is promoting is “Nazism”. Why, in a MEDIEVAL fantasy game, do we need to be reminded of this?

It is obvious that GGG did not hire any White/Western artists to do the rendering of these drawings because they would have naturally found it too sensitive and damning. (which I indeed do.)

So they hired Asians…who have no inkling on Jewish-European 20th century history, whatsoever.

And, oh, look, you’re Japanese! What a surprise.

Artwork IS a form of a personal statement---It can be used to convey a political, religious or cultist agenda. When Adolf Hitler painted the "Mother Mary with the Holy Child Jesus Christ", he was stating that he was a Catholic and support Christianity...

Anyway, the Jewish Anti-Defamation League should be called onto GGG to stop this blatant promotion of "Nazism".

This is the best post ever. Not because I agree with it, in fact I think it's laughable.

But what makes it the best is how it purports to be sensitive to Jewish history (while ignoring the 5 million other people killed in the Holocaust) at the same time that it is MASSIVELY RACIST.

Just, priceless.

To everyone complaining about the people complaining: You do realize that as consumers of a product, not only are we justified in complaining, it is frankly our responsibility as consumers to let the product manufacturer know we do not like the future of the product they are developing.

If this offensive design results in even a minor fraction of new players to not play, then it will have been a bad decision. I can pretty much guarantee that will occur. Though of course there is no way to know if it does. It is possible some current players may even boycott.

This isnt art. It is poor taste. It is lazy design. There is literally nothing good about it.

You were (mostly) fine until that last line. It literally is art. You not liking it doesn't mean it isn't. There are people in this thread that obviously disagree with you about it being poor taste/lazy/bad. Just as you castigate others to not disregard your opinions, perhaps you shoudl extend to them the same courtesy?

For the record: I'm not on the record as to my opinion of the OP.
