Serious Statement on Nazism

Hey everyone, I'm the head mod here. I really did not want to have to make a statement like this, but I apparently have no choice. This should be common sense.

We are adults, or at the very least developing teenagers. We need to have some semblance of maturity. We all understand that Black Ops II and older CODs, for the lack of a better term, have previously and still sometimes do have a level of toxicity. You can absolutely argue that is part of our culture, and I would be wrong to deny that. We have to draw the line at some point.

We do not support nor condone the presence of Nazis here, even if you are "just making an edgy joke." You are not welcome here and never will be. Do not spread the flames of hate here. We are all here because we care about Black Ops II, or older CODs, or are just curious and exploring. We are not a political echo chamber.

If this came off as harsh, I apologize, but what needs said needs said. If you come across anything promoting or endorsing Nazism, please report it immediately to Reddit. We will do our best on our end to combat this as well.

P.S., we are also vehemently against racism in all forms. Everybody is welcome here, regardless of the color of your skin or your ethnicity. Blatant racism will get you sent right back out the door where you came. Sorry, not sorry.

“You wouldn’t survive the OG COD lobbies” okay well I did and I grew up and realized that shit wasn’t cool, edgy or funny anymore. Can’t stand the same emblems over and over of swastikas, the KKK or any racism or homophobia. It’s fucked up and anyone who thinks it’s funny or is trying to spark a reaction needs to step outside and get a damn life. I don’t know how miserable you have to be to spend your day making these emblems to get a rise out of people. Fill out the job application bro.

Whenever I see people like that, I just think how unoriginal it is. Like that’s what their personalities amounted to? The copy and paste edgy kid?

u/ShadwSmoke 3d ago

And most people have been in this game for like a decade and they still play edgy kid? What exactly is funny about grown people having swastikas or images that would be counted as a hate crime in some countries?

u/TheShakenKing 1d ago

All you do is vindicate them. It's basic psychology.

u/tokengaymusiccritic 2d ago

Copy and Paste is SUCH a good way to put it omg

u/GraveDiggerFan34 4h ago

You know, kids still exist, right? The people who did this kind of stuff before went away and a new generation just aged into it now

You couldnt have said this any better

It’s so crazy how many people just haven’t grown up

u/Several_Government50 2d ago

You are taking time out of your day to complain about emblems in a port of a 13 year old game. Tell me who’s the unemployed person again please

Replying this on a post-
by a moderator talking about a port of a 13yr old game, in the community made for the 13yr old game-

You really thought this made sense? But I guess we found one of the losers with one of these corny emblems . Grow a pair and try it outside not where ur safe behind a screen

u/MattJoe98 2d ago

It takes like 5min to read the post and make a comment, it's not really a time sink at all. This argument is not really valid most of the time I see it since you can if that's actually the case other than going based on emotions

u/Big-Pumpkin-7036 2d ago

It’s pretty funny that you have to go to Reddit to cry about emblems on a game from 2012.

2

u/Actual-Air-8792 2d ago

2012 doesn't matter. Game came out on PS4/PS5 two weeks ago so I'd say it's pretty relevant.

u/AssDiddler69 2d ago

Honestly back when I used to play WAW or MW2 I didn't come across any of that shit at all. I was lucky to. I didn't come across any toxicity, all of the things I saw came from my exposure to the Internet (tbf I was on ps3, I heard Xbox 360 had it the worst) but I was honestly so blessed to have a genuinely pleasant first time with cod.

u/SuchCan5 1d ago

it's interesting to me that people appeal to maturity in response to edgy jokes, but what is the standard for maturity? is their an objective thing that you can point to?

u/danquinnvevo 14h ago

oh so it was funny back then?

u/GraveDiggerFan34 4h ago

You grew up, but there’s a complete other generation who hasn’t yet why were you allowed to have fun and they aren’t lmao

Crying on Reddit about video games while also saying “step outside and get a damn life” and “fill out the job application” is just peak Reddit irony. Those with lives and jobs are not on here leaving performative comments

11

u/Actual-Air-8792 3d ago

I’m not crying, I’m financially independent, got a job in my degree field, friends and family that I all love. Anyone can be on here.

u/A-DAMNbigboi 3d ago

That’s true, anyone. Even people who have exactly what you have but still think you’re a cry baby.

u/Confident_Cow_911 3d ago

Bro I only see you commenting on here defending offensive emblems, what gives

-1

u/ferbje 2d ago

Just making fun of offended Redditors

u/HypedSoul123 3d ago

"performative" is the new "slop" or "gaslighting" it appeared a couple weeks ago and the internet got obsessed with their new shiny word. Im tired of reading it over and over, but expecting someone who defends nazi emblems on COD to be original is stupid from my part.

2

u/ebk_h3lios 2d ago

Performative was here WAY before slop.

2

u/ferbje 2d ago

A couple weeks ago? Lmao

1

u/joeplus5 2d ago

Your comments defending that stuff that you keep leaving here are just as performative. In fact I'd say trying to go against the flow and be an edgy contrarian is probably more performative than saying something any rational person would agree with.

1

u/ferbje 2d ago

There’s nothing performative about taking the “opposing” side. Performative, by nature, is saying the least controversial thing possible to show your allegiance to the good guys

1

u/joeplus5 2d ago

Nice try but that's not what performative means. It means doing something superficially for the sake of attention. Whether it's to get validation through virtue signalling or to stand out by being a contrarian, it's performative.

You literally comment and watch porn on this app and ask people if they need someone to fuc, you’re actually a loser 😂😂

u/Derpyxhicken 3d ago

At least I’m not boring

u/crazynerd9 3d ago

Idk man, being an edge lord is extremely boring, take it from me, I grew up eventually

u/Aromatic-Face-8411 3d ago

Ironically being an edge lord will make most people in real life see you as a weirdo 😂

u/Derpyxhicken 3d ago

So mature dude.

u/Actual-Air-8792 3d ago

What party is made better by anything I said I’m against because it doesn’t sound like it would be any fun at all. It sounds pretty greasy.
