Hakkors-förbud online i Black Ops

Hakkors som personlig logo i Call of Duty: Black Ops är inte okej och spelare som designar och använder sådana kommer att bli bannade. Detta meddelar Stephen Tolouse som arbetar med Xbox Live.

"If you think the swastika symbol should be re-evaluated by societies all over the Earth, I think that's great. Your Xbox Live profile or in-game logo, which doesn't have the context to explain your goal, is not the right place to do that," skriver Tolouse på sin blogg.

Tolouse skriver att många spelare anser att de borde kunna använda hakkorset eftersom symbolen har andra betydelser än den kopplad till nazismen. Det bemöter Toluse så här:

"No educated human on the planet looks at the swastika symbol [...] and says 'oh, that symbol has nothing at all in any way to do with global genocide of an entire race and, even if it did, one should totally and reasonably ignore that because it's a symbol that was stolen or coop-ted from religions."
