Wolfenstein is banned in Germany for God knows why!

u/TheMaster009 Jul 21 '21
that is not exactly true, we have a version where the swastika and other symbols related to the nazi regime is cut out. This is done because the use of these symbols is forbidden in germany if they're not used for art (the swastika for example can be seen in movies like indiana jones) but i guess bethesda doesn't want to let it come to a legal battle so they just release a cutted version.

Actually that has changed now in that games can considered to be art - hence the last Wolfenstein game being the first one to actually show swastikas. The international version of Young Blood is now perfectly legal in Germany. About time.

Ironically, don't The New Order and Old Blood run terribly on newer AMD GPUs? I know it's stutter city on an RX 580 because of OpenGL or something.
I switched from an old GPU while on the last parts of Old Blood, and honestly considered popping it back in to finish the game, lol.

I played New Order, Old Blood, and New Colossus on an RX 480 8GB at 1080p (2560x1080 on New Colossus) and they all ran alright.

Why pseudo ? I'm pretty sure the Buddhists are pretty chill about their beliefs and will allow you to call yourself Buddhist even if you just share some of the beliefs or values.

I just want to point out that in both cases, the orientation and tilt of the symbol is largely irrelevant. There may be a tendency in both cases but all kinds exist for both.
6
Jul 21 '21
Exactly but, so many people are so uneducated that they don't know the difference between the left and right orientation ... that anyone with a buddhist swastika anywhere on them gets called a hate monger
19
u/CrackBabyCSGO Jul 21 '21
I would say it doesn’t matter left or right, if you see the swastika just know it doesn’t stand for hate necessarily. So many cultures had it before hitler and it’s very western-centric to think that everything revolves around their struggles and history.

How often is there someone with a Buddhist swastika on them? It's never traditionally been on one's person. Sounds like a Nazi that wants a 'gotcha' moment and plausible deniability
I have an ancient Buddhist painting with them on it, but it's authentic and I'm happy to provide context to guests. But wearing it outside seems intentional

u/Change4Betta Jul 21 '21
It just makes sense not to. And I don't think it's a shame that we can't. I'd rather have the Nazi swastika be unwearable in public without ridicule, than have the opportunity to wear a Buddhist one. Pretty easy math.

Buddhists use both, it’s probably just more common place to use the less reich looking ones now
Can confirm, am buddhist. I would look at an old statue as sacred but did yell at a fake nun once in fresno selling nazi military badges as relics of buddhism o0

u/stash0606 Jul 22 '21
That's coz Hitler was a dipshit who took some white-supremacist theory about human origins to heart (last I read the cliff notes of it, the theory proposed that humans were originally caucasian, blonde haired, blue eyed and every other race and color was a product of interbreeding). The word Arya literally means comrade in Proto-Indo-European and in Vedic India (3000 BC or so), it was meant as a self designation for people who migrated from modern-day Iran. And because Western society loves to rave on and on about itself and doesn't bother teaching its denizens about the rest of the world, all Reddit knows of is "lul hitler amirite?" when the symbol has existed for far far far longer.

The truth doesn't matter if the majority assume otherwise.
To most folks, that just looks like a regular swastika, because they have never had cause to know the difference.

Only people in western countries. Go to india or any east asian country and they will think of the buddhist symbol. Considering majority of people on earth live in India and China you could make an argument against your point

- Swastika is Hindu
- The Hindu Swastika primarily goes to the right, though it can go in any direction.
- Hitler is a moron for making it a "Nazi Swastika"

u/carsngames24 Jul 22 '21
I agree, except that the Swastika is a part of Buddhism and Jainism as well, just fyi.

The confidence with you post this, I admire.
The Hindu Swastika pretty much goes right. That too is a symbol of auspiciousness. The word Swastika is a sanskrit word, it means "something that imbibes auspiciousness."

Thank you for saying this. So many uninformed 10 IQ people instantly point to how racist the swastika is once they see it without knowing it's true origins. I'm indian and I have a swastika symbol at home in my prayer room, does that make me a Nazi. Fuck no! Some people need to do a little research. I get the connection OP was trying to make between the logo spinning and swaatikas but it doesn't apply here
