So why does TeamLiquid use nazi maps in 2013???? Should have known that's a nazi symbol, right? I think it's time to email sponsors (blizzard) to demand the removal of TL players from WCS.

Blizzard as of late has gone over board when it comes to defending the sensitivity of jews. Any clan or group name containing the word "jewish" is automatically flagged and you can't even use the clan tag JIDF either. It's ridiculous that such a tiny minority, who don't currently even have their own sc2 client, get such preferential treatment.

funny that this guy gets banned for uploading an old map thats been a mainstay of BW but that they cant fucking ban the guys who openly admit maphacking.

I bet I could queue a 100 games in a row and go balls out on the racist/nazi BM and wont get suspended.

But this evil character uploaded Snipers Ridge on bnet and has to be punished...

makes perfect sense.

sry for you dude. Imo you should try and go over this guy's head. Have you tried calling customer service and play the part of the mightily pissed customer?

Only if you're so dedicated to creating an atmosphere of fear and cognitive dissonance that you immediately jump to the 'nazi' meaning and focus solely on it.

It's a popular Brood War map, for fuck's sake. Are the leagues and players using it all Nazis? Had they even stopped grinding games to consider that they might seem like it? No, because that's fucking stupid. This is the kind of thing that only happens in the west, where we 'make jobs' by paying idiots minimum wage to ban nerds from games and forums.



What if I make a map with the confederate flag in it? Or the American flag?
Or the jolly roger? All of these things offend different people from different eras. Does that mean we should give a fuck about a custom map in Starcraft?

It's not like the map renames the marine to 'Stormtrooper' or some shit. Although this game is about different alien races destroying each other in scenes reminiscent of the holocaust (except with worse writing)...but I digress.

Most courts throughout the world (in areas that aren't beyond hope) wouldn't stand behind a decision like this, but because it's a video game map the people making the decision are basically worthless.

I honestly think this is alright.
To the people who say that the swastika meant something else and so fourth: It does not matter. Now it is associated with the nazi party, and it will continue to be so.

The map looks like a huge swastika, BW or not, its not appropriate IMHO.

EDIT: alright to ban i mean, its only 7 days man.
