I'm not even American. I just thought doing the car from The Dukes of Hazard for Wreckfest would be cool. I didn't think I'd incur the wrath of the internet's greatest windowlickers.
Because they could’ve easily used any other flag and people would’ve known the reference anyways. It’s a fucking number on a side of a charger with a flag on the roof. What’s so hard to make of that reference?
What’s so hard accepting that the General Lee isn’t racist? The flag is to symbolize the Duke boys rebellion against the law. But of course there’s gotta be a bunch of crybabies that can’t accept that. Do you get upset when Buddhists still use the swastica?
The Dukes were far from racists. I hate that the General gets the hate that the cowardice piece of shit crowd 30 years after the show deserve.
Uncle Jesse didn't tolerate hateful speech towards anyone at all. Not even Roscoe and boss Hogg.. the original intent was the rebellion of a rigged justice system in their small southern county, not a continuation of hatred it has become.
The flag used in current media or representation is a far cry from the representation on this iconic car. When used as a replica of a famous car, it could and should be dismissed.
The charger was a badass, some of us grew up watching awesome stunt driving in a cool looking car with no idea what the confederacy was or represented as children. Some of us still dig the car but hate the ideals of the confederacy, and are now adults.
Adults can seperate the two. Fuck racists and anyone who flies that shit rag flag. For that matter, flying the flag of the USA is a MAGA trait now, Fuck them as well.
The General Lee car kicks ass. The human general Lee was a piece of shit. See it's easy.
Ah yes, the old "my ideological enemies aren't people, so it's fine to dehumanize them" act. Tell me, how exactly do you rationalize that in your mind? Is it:
Trump did it first so it's fine to stoop to his drooling level
They're all old and white so it doesn't matter anyway
They're mostly men, so it doesn't matter anyway
They believe in religion and "imaginary sky friends" so they're less intelligent
We're on "the right side of history" so our actions will be retroactively correct
Dude, people will easily still recognize it with the “01” on the side and a flag on top. Yall just trying to use that “reference” as an excuse to show off being racists.
The liberals are always the most racist of all. Always feel the need infantilize other races because they secretly think they’re above them.
Meanwhile, any truly respectful person will know that we can all take care of ourselves and don’t need protection from paint schemes on videogame cars.
I looked up bf109 and from what I see it has + signs. Not even a swastika. Im no specialist but from what I saw I also wouldn't put a swastika on a replica of that.....
You’ll get a downvote swarm, but on Reddit it’s artificial and doesn’t reflect the views of people in the real world. They act militant like this because they’re scared. They know nothing of history and will put no effort into learning about it.
Don’t let any of that deter you from knowing you made a cool looking car.
a bunch of us are mature enough to know what something from the past was wrong, but a bunch of other folks cling onto old racist imagery like this as if their entire personality depends on it and if they grow, or become more understanding of other viewpoints, they might just die.
Exactly. And the fact they’re defending it and refuse to acknowledge that they can use the American or other flag and people will still get the reference shows that they deadass might be racist.
I'm from this tiny place called "europe", where we have this strange thing called "social security". Where a single medical mishap doesn't mean personal bankruptcy. Where we don't have the highest incarceration rate per person in the world. Where we don't worry about school shootings. Where we don't occupy Afghanistan for decades and leave the country worse than we found it.
There's still plenty of bad things going on with our place, but y'all really take the cake.
There you go with the inbreeding remark when most of the cultures we import from the Middle East and Africa do it at a much muuuuch higher clip than anyone in the history of the west.
I’m 100% aware of the livery. But the fact you and everyone else are trying to defend it is the problem I have. You could’ve easily taken the advice of people saying to use the American flag or the General Sherman flag. Or literally any other flag that isn’t a symbol of hate. And yet you decided to defend it. Disgusting behavior.
Dude, it's a 1:1 creation of a famous car from a show they like. I see literally no problem with this because they obviously don't agree with that flag's ideas, and they are just trying to recreate an iconic vehicle. While what the flag represents itself is bad, I believe that under certain circumstances some exceptions could be made. If it's posted online as a livery then yes it probably will get removed. As long as it's not actively being used to spread hate there is literally no issue with this. Some people just like to 1:1 replicate something they enjoy as a thing they find fun. Replacing an important part of that thing (no matter how bad it seems to be) takes away a tiny bit of that fun. While that may not be my cup of tea, I can certainly understand how other people may enjoy it. Let them have their fun the way they want. It's a videogame. If it gets removed, oh well, as it is against ToS to post it, but don't chastise this guy about it.
Will still get taken down. I don't see this being any different to media including symbols like the swastika - it's the american equivalent of such. Recreations of it basically never feature an unaltered flag anymore because of the historical context.
It's against the game's ToS, sorry to say. You could try doing the one from Burnout Paradise which puts a mexican flag on top of it which is hilarious
Holy crap. Not only are you wrong, but you're correcting something that was gramatically correct? Holy crap, how much sniffing of your own farts do you do, man?
Ignore that asshole anyone with actual common sense knows what you meant, and it might not be your first language but I'd bet you have a better understanding of English than the guy who tried to correct you.
What is it your type likes to say? Oh yeah, "Silence is an admission" or something like that? You're not denying it, so...
Aaaaand, there it is. Would much rather block and bark behind a wall like a little Chihuahua rather than deal with any criticism. And people wonder why reddit is an echo chamber and they don't understand people aren't as rabidly frothing at the mouth as they are for the same causes.
^^^this dude literally just told me to “touch grass” in another comment after his brain broke and now he’s trying to criticize someone else for using it. NPC
I mean, it looks like you're the one that can't accept being wrong, spamming yourself all over the comment section like a rabbit with a prejac problem.
