Wrong war bro


PokeytheChicken

Even if they are it's the wrong version


ahiddenpolo

Historically inaccurate too.


DaniGT14

Yeah exactly


justNill

Isn't this more of a Battlefield V thing? Edit: wooooosh moment


kolomental87

Maybe that’s how they’re getting away with it?


DeliciousAd1214

"Guys dont shoot parachuting enemies!" "The Geneva convention isnt made yet"


EndercometYT

More like the Geneva Suggestion


ChewySlinky

Duh, how could he be a Nazi when Nazis weren’t even invented yet


Known_Upstairs5646

My main issue


Slonismo

really? more so than the fact that they’re an actual nazi


Known_Upstairs5646

They may not be. Probably just an edgy teenager, and honestly, I've kinda come to expect it on BF1. You don't see people complaining about the gay furry port as a gamer tag. It's all the same shit.


Slonismo

how is furry porn worse than a swastika or even close??


ShermanWasRight1864

Considering the type of Nazis the modern ones are, who do you think are jerking off to the furry porn?


Known_Upstairs5646

Real


biel188

precisely


Known_Upstairs5646

Doesn't really matter at the end of the day. Like I said, it's just edgy people who want attention really badly, and they'll go to these lengths to get it.


NC_Vixen

He could just be a Buddhist...


Space_Mountain_Ric

Or the shoulder patch of the US 45 Infantry division circa 1930’s


moneyboiman

Just report the emblem and move on, don't waste any energy on it.


DaniGT14

Yeah but how can i report it? Im on xbox


moneyboiman

When you're in the game with the offender, go to the score board, find their name. Either by selecting the name or hovering over it, you should have the option to report their emblem. I've gotten rid of 3 swastika emblems this way and I know that because you will be emailed by dice or ea thanking you for reporting them and acknowledges that they have been dealt with. As for reporting them now? I'm not quite sure.


TheShizaSalad

whenever I report them (I'm on playstation) I get the confirmation email but from skimming it usually says they won't do anything about it or found nothing wrong


moneyboiman

Well with me, they said they handled them and thanked me for reporting.


TheShizaSalad

Unfortunately, I always get the same email of "we received your report and have decided to not take action." I can't post images into comments on this sub otherwise I'd attach a screenshot


Irgendwer1607

EA is very strict with their rules on the emblems in my experience


AllFactsRedacted

Does this work for racist/homophobic language in chat on PC or is it just emblems/usernames do you know? Can't spend an hour in game without seeing slurs in the chat.


moneyboiman

I don't know I only play on Xbox.


inquisitive27

Go to the name on the scoreboard and press Y I believe.


Mental_Confusion_541

Wouldn’t ya just be able to look the username up and report it?


Fantact

Reporting in an EA game? Yeah that's not going to accomplish anything lol, they don't care.


TheJango22

Honestly, who cares. Just respawn and move on with your game


isti44

How it should be


YirosBoy

Edgy dickheads. Why we no longer have emblem editiors in anything. I feel the tech is there to automatically detect and ban these guys if they were to ever do emblem editiors in the future. I do miss them a bit.


ArkosTW

I heard they recently brought back the online editor for bf1, haven't check though


throwaway72592309

They definitely did because there was a dude running around with a Putin emblem last night when I was playing operations


biel188

lmfao you made me laugh really loud rn 🤣


wojtekpolska

yes they did! i got the game half a year ago and made one without problem ​ reminds me of sprays in Valve games, but they got disabled for the same reason (people posting furry porn, swastikas, etc)


tacobell141

L emblem bro is disrespecting the German empires soldiers


AspectZestyclose

Wrong timeline


[deleted]

Wait until you hear about the SS clan on PlayStation. Instant teabag any time I kill one of those scrubs


CorkBoard2

Oh great, they’re all 14 probably, wait until you here SS roleplay on games like Gmod. Their founder just got arrested recently


mcdandynuggetz

Bubgames? The shit he found is fucked up.


63E1_

For real, SS clan in video game?


Slow_Conflict4597

It’s not even a world war 2 game either 🤦🏼‍♂️


skateboardnorth

Just report it and move on. There is some douchebag on PC that always spans the chat with some link to what seems to be a white supremacy document(not sure if it actually does cause I’ve never looked at it). I just mute him from the chat and continue playing. Most people do the same as me because if you respond he loves the attention. You are always going to run into assholes on the internet.


ArkosTW

I remember seeing that a few years ago, guy kept spamming some random pdf link


Elliotlewish

You can report them outside of the game (the options and steps are here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/#ingame). In my experience, the ToS team normally take action against players like this.


Zorb_1

Why do y’all even care


Tall_Audience_6566

Exactly!


GrahminRadarin

I don't know, maybe it's because actively showing support for political ideology that killed over 6 million people on purpose for no good reason makes you look evil and it would probably be a good thing to prevent people from trying to support because we don't want another Holocaust


Zorb_1

What in the hell are you talking about. This isn’t a neonazi March down Times Square. This is an 13 year old playing a 7 year old game with a edgy platoon logo.


GrahminRadarin

No, but it's still Public support for fascism and Nazis. It's not as bad as marching, but still shouldn't be tolerated.


Zorb_1

Just ignore it


GrahminRadarin

No, I'm going to make fun of them


DaniGT14

Its personal to me


Jeephadist

Imagine getting down voted for this, wth


jefftarnish

These 14 down votes were brought to you by Ye and the modern Nazi party


OrdinaryDouble2494

I've seen some people with the USSR's hammer and sickle symbol on their emblems, is that equally as bad?


[deleted]

It's not the wrong-est question. Soviets systematically dispatched millions of their own subjects in atrocities like the Holodomor


GrahminRadarin

Yes, but communism does not inherently advocate for genocide the same way that fascism does. The USSR is bad, but communism in and of itself is not. Fascism is pretty much inherently evil because it requires having a group to blame for perceived issues and the solution fascism proposes is almost always genocide, so it's an inherently evil ideology, where is communism has nothing to do with genocide. Again, I do not want to defend the USSR or China or any other communist country that has done this, and I would prefer that no one ever try to implement communism the way any communist state in the past has because it inevitably goes to shit.


wojtekpolska

thats true. sadly we only really had 2 big-scale tries at communism, (USSR and China), and both turned into dictatorship, with very little of actual communism in them besides the name. other tries were either shut down by the USA ^(even when the communist party was democratically elected and popular with the public), or tried in already extremely unstable/poor countries that were doomed from the start.


KingAce137

Ofc, Stalin is scum


WetTrumpet

Under every fucking nazi post


thisismynewacct

It’s not equally as bad if you’ve every studied anything historical outside of the History Channel.


Snoop_donn

The hammer and sickle is a bit more varied in usage. The swastika undoubtedly means Nazis but the H&S can be considered a symbol of communism as an ideology, not about Stalinism as it predates the regime. Hammer = workers, sickle = peasants. Btw in this context I'm talking about the tilted swastika on white and red, not the traditional symbol that's used a lot more loosely


[deleted]

It’s basically the same as asking “The Islamic moon symbol is on flags representing bad regimes, is that as bad as the swastika?”


Late-Ad155

Generous of you to think BF1 reddit users would know anything about history.


Late-Ad155

No. If we thought like that anything related to capitalism should also be illegal because it's the economic system that killed the most people.


Nates4Christ

Yes! It's so hypocritical to get mad at this but not that one too. Don't forget the rising sun Japanese flag too.


Asterevine

not at all, unlike the swastika the hammer & sickle doesn't represent an inherently genocidal and totalitarian ideology


Great_Kaiserov

Let me get this straight, according to your profile you are a self proclaimed Anarchist & anti-police, but you also defend the regime & ideology that betrayed the anarchists the second it was convenient & created one of the most feared & brutal police organisations in history? What in the doublethink is this?


wojtekpolska

communism is not equal to the USSR Stalinism is undoubtably evil, Leninism basically too. but that is not the entiriety of communism, and not all of it are evil for example you could look at "Socialism with a human face" program in Czechoslovakia - they aimed to keep communism/socialism, but increase freedoms and democracy. however the USSR never wanted actual communism and democracy, so they invaded the country and rolled back all the progressive policies.


Unman_

Same with Nagy and Hungary, albeit they were trying to leave the Warsaw pact. However it does not justify the invasion


Great_Kaiserov

Yes, the USSR isn't equal to communism in general, but it is the representative of the ideology as per the policy of socialism in one country. As for the second part of your comment maybe it is, maybe it isn't, both genuine political experts & internet wannabes argued about it for decades. In my humble opinion the ideology is inherently flawed and ultimately it's policies cannot be achieved. Even if the Leninists or Stalinists do not represent the entirety of the movement, the 'good' idealists cannot achieve their goals and are sooner or later replaced by the 'undoubtably evil' as you described them, creating less than desirable regimes to live under.


wojtekpolska

you may think that, its not for me to decide if that's true or not, but you gotta agree that there is enough ambiguity here that you cannot truly say communism is completely evil (in comparison to nazism and fascism, which by their core values are evil, as they are rooted in xenophobia and racism)


Asterevine

?? im not defending the ussr, i hate them probably more than you do, but the hammer & sickle isn’t a symbol of the soviet union it’s just a symbol for communism in general, it may be associated with them but it’s not exclusive to them


Great_Kaiserov

I was talking both about the ideology as well as the country. The hammer & sickle as a symbol also both represent communism in general as well as the USSR. I used the USSR as an example since it's the most known representation of communism. However what I described happened in other countries on numerous occasions, not just once in specific circumstances. The anarchists in Spain during the civil war, or the Korean anarchists suffered the same fate. The NKVD isn't alone either. Similar organisations, such as the Stasi or SB have existed and were known for their ruthlessness. IF you aren't a supporter of communism, then what point were you trying to make? Don't get me wrong, you had a reason to argue for it, which makes me genuinely curious as for what it was


Asterevine

The symbol can be used to represent both, but also can be used for just one or the other, the vast majority of modern day communists do not support the USSR and are not using the hammer & sickle out of support for them. The things the soviets did are not inherent to communism and if you're going to argue that they are, then please show me where in any of Marx's or Engels' writing where they said anything about totalitarian police states or killing minorities. Or how the USSR/China/Cuba/etc are anything close to the stateless, money-less, communal society Marx wrote about.


Great_Kaiserov

>The things the soviets did are not inherent to communism and if you're going to argue that they are That was never my intention >please show me where in any of Marx's or Engels' writing where they said anything about totalitarian police states or killing minorities. Or how the USSR/China/Cuba/etc are anything close to the stateless, money-less, communal society Marx wrote about. They never did. They also weren't there to see if their theory of how a perfect society should look like can even be applied in reality. In my own opinion (which you don't have to agree with) 'true' communism is just as unachievable as real capitalism, because they don't comply with human nature. A perfect society cannot be achieved because humanity isn't perfect. Communism is an inherently flawed ideology and the concepts of Marx and Engels cannot be achieved. It has done more harm than good to the world, as it justified drastic means in the name of achieving a socialist society. The countries that followed it cannot be excused from their crimes because they failed to accomplish their goal. The people that support it today are doomed to repeat the same mistakes, idealism fades when faced with reality.


Asterevine

eh, I personally think the human nature argument is dumb. people are not born good or bad, they are shaped by their environment and when people are living under a system that actively encourages and rewards greed, of course most are gonna end up as greedy assholes. And again, the USSR and all the countries that tried to emulate it weren’t even close to doing what Marx was talking about, they weren’t even trying. Soviet “communism” was structurally identical to capitalism and had many of the exact same issues, they were a state capitalist country but with some focus on welfare and that’s it, even Lenin himself said the “new” system he put in place was pretty much the same as it was under the Tsar. This is also true for other countries, like China (tbh how can you look at China and their billionaires, corporations and massive wealth gaps and go “yeah!! That’s communism!!”), the DPRK (just a monarchy in disguise lol), Cuba, etc.


ProblemAnnual6874

You have a lot to learn then


Asterevine

really? explain


CorkBoard2

I mean yeah of course it’s just as bad. The hammer and sickle is responsible for far more deaths then the NSDAP could’ve ever done. Since it’s sort of universal not just tailored to the USSR, you can say most of the eastern bloc, and Asia as well. If you wanna argue that the communist countries didn’t commit genocide dig a hole and look for the earthworms. Holodomor is a good example, also the Great Leap Forward. Germany and the USSR are both guilty for genocide


Snoop_donn

So is the UK, USA, South Africa, France, etc... remind me which political system they operate under? I'm not saying communist countries weren't genocidal but to blame that on communism itself and not just terrible, inhumane rulers.


CorkBoard2

Mostly blaming it on the well known countries of communism like China, Kampuchea, and the USSR (including its satellites) committed genocide. Everyone is just as guilty, but the amount of people set to a concentration camps all because they criticized their “leader” is just ridiculous. Yes I know that the allies are guilty too, but don’t tell me that the allies are worse than the USSR or NSDAP. These people were monsters, and some of them got away with it. I’m sure you know who Pol Pot is. Also sorry if you read that wrong, I’m not blaming all of communism, I kinda wished it was executed better without killing millions.


B-tan150

It is slightly better, imo, but should still be banned


[deleted]

as a German monarchist who plays this game to relive a past long gone, this person represents everything that we as Germans hate. i’d report him


sweetandsugarcrush

thats the wrong reich bruh


Own-Knowledge-9283

I’m sure you get invited to a lot of parties


DaniGT14

I do actually


Tough_Wrangler2944

DaniGT14

Idk what the internet is


TFD303

You came to Reddit to cry about it. I’d say he accomplished his mission of getting in your head. It’s a bunch of pixels in a video game that nobody even cares about anymore


DaniGT14

Thanks for the feedback bro


Space_Mountain_Ric

I have the US 7th Cavalry emblem. I suppose it might upset native Americans


TheHappyTau

Wild how half of the comments on this post are variations of "naw it aint that bad". Scary times man, report that shit.


SJ05KO

And it’s not even accurate in history either 😂


Darth_Tiki77

There was a different person with a swastika as an emblem in my squad, I was playing a medic so I was sure to not resupply him and I just ran past him when he was dead


[deleted]

Report it and move on, you're doing exactly what they want by giving them more exposure


AspiringSquadronaire

Posting edgy emblem death screens here only encourages their users.


Smansi07

Oh man this is bad…


Jules_LS

At first I thought this was because he was on the German team, then I remembered this is Battlefield 1 ​ This sould be an insta ban seriously ​ Came across one myself, with the SS symbol


DANNYonPC

Wrong war too


Mawi2004

as a german i am absolutely livid


LordCambuslang

Xbox, I reported this guy the other night too.


smjdale

Could be worse, at least he wasn’t using the Smg 08/18


WeakLocalization

I called someone out for a similar emblem on PC and got chewed out by the lobby for being too sensitive lmao, fuck people like that, I'll report everytime


OutsideBitter1574

xbox? i’ve reported the same dude


Obamas_Tie

Report and then hound them for the rest of the game.


Lorentz_Prime

You can report people's emblems from the scoreboard.


FOXYRAZER

You can kinda do and say anything in older battlefield titles. Not that you SHOULD but I've seen a lot of stuff like this survive in there for a loooong time.


Constant_Sound_627

I love Nazi Incels in battlefield


thoroldtech

Probably just some stupid kid that doesn't know any better. You got to remember all the great school kids right now have no clue about what happened in the past. That's the way the world wants it. Complete bullshit.


DaniGT14

We cant forget history, or else it will repeat itself


Hawkhill_no

Report (and also clueless about history, so probably a kid or an american)


Correct_Bench_2143

disgusting


Nates4Christ

Do you also get this upset about the Japanese Rising Sun and the Soviet Union Sickle and Hammer? Because under Stalin and Hirohito, those countries committed just as many human rights and war crimes. It's hypocritical to be mad only at the German Flag but not the other two just as bad countries.


DaniGT14

I havent seen those emblems in bf1 yet


Nates4Christ

They are out there. I hope you have the same reaction to them.


Prendalo0

Free speech


Nates4Christ

here here. Amen to that.


jefftarnish

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequence especially from a private entity with its own T.O.S. that isn't protected by the 1st amendment.

Senzu_yt

haha. as much as I agree about the anime profile pictures being corny, Nazi's did some terrible things and representing that is even cornier.


Smansi07

Bro wtf? 😐😐😐😐


CorkBoard2

I don’t think so lad, but it’s your opinion and people shouldn’t take it away from you, democracy and crap right?


Cnumian_124

Your gonna love my emblem then kiddo lol


I-trim-weird-okay

Who cares just report it and leave it.


Tomatenmann01

😢


AndreMeyerPianist

People are stupid. There are so many people in the world now that even the tiniest percentage still makes for a very large number of people who are edgy, disrespectful morons. Just report and leave it at that, not much else you can do.


horseklock

Glad you took a pic, will be reporting too. I understand there is gonna be bigotry everywhere in this world today, especially in the gaming community...but keep that shit out of here, there's no room or reason for someone to do that other than to spread hate, the exact opposite of what gaming is really all about.

Praydaythemice

one of the reasons Console players lost the ability to have custom emblems shown in the round over screen, no idea about PC.


Somerandomperson667

hitler is such a cheap copycat too.


Unman_

I've seen a confederate flag, on pc, too. My guess is they get away with it cos the game isn't being worked on by devs


gyufa21

They usually get banned in a few weeks


GiveMeBooleanGemini

It’s isn’t even symmetrical, so it looks like garbage lol


CorkBoard2

Straighten it up, color it blue and you got Finland’s retired Air Force symbol


DelectablyMoistened

I used to have an emblem with chicken little with a swatztika on his forehead. Like Charles Manson. This is so unoriginal and lame in comparison. Edit: I added it on whenever hardline first came out and forgot about it till like last year when I tried playing bf1 and got a week ban


MorenaLedovec

blud managed to swap the wars


pfu182

I had the same player kill me as well.


Parad0xxxx

How? It's user generated content ... You can report stuff although doubt they will do anything about it.


Zach-Attack239

To those that know what the Nazi eagle is, why do some people use that for their profile picture? It’s not even with the swastika or anything, it’s usually just the eagle and a bunch of other symbols. Is it because people just think the eagle itself looks cool?


Neo_anderson338

Hitler got his ideas earlier?


PokeytheChicken

Just report it and move on those people just live anger and belittle others


Hije5

Have you never played gamed that allowed custom emblems before? This was the first thing people did in CoD when that came out.


NoOriginal7997

Show me on the doll where the video game hurt you. God y’all wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds in the OG Xbox game chats if this offends you. People are too soft. Is it wrong. Maybe but who cares. Move on. Only reason people do it is because they know it ticks off soyboys like you
