![[image loading]](http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/3792/swastikabyavixjpglowres.jpg) Well, first thing that came to my mind was the Hindu swastika. Unless he just screwed it up and was looking for the Nazi one, in which case it was not tasteful in the slightest. Also, was there lag that game which allowed him to do that? | ||

Offensive to you personally or are you just saying that as a white knight kind of thing? Because as a jewish guy, I personally don't give a shit. | ||

If I was trying to be a white knight, do you think I'd admit it? I'm Jewish as well (not heavily or anything) and I found it a bit bothersome. I just don't see the point of it to be quite frank. I get it, it's his stream he can do what he wants and usually that's understandable considering he shouldn't have to change himself or his mannerisms for a bunch of touchy people, but what is the point of that image? It doesn't bother you, but do you see any worth or intention with this? Anyways, I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, I'm not crying my eyes out, just a bit disappointed. | ||

I'm a religious Jew and I totally see where you are coming from. That being said, I love Destiny's stream and I know that anything he says / does is all in good faith, EVEN if there is no point to it. I think we should stop looking for the meaning / reason of what is said or done, and just focus on the entertainment that he presents. Edit: I've dealt with anti-semitic remarks and actions my entire life and it's important to realize that: 1. The person may not be serious. or 2. If they are, it's best to ignore it because we can't change who someone is. | ||

I´m not jewish but there is a reason why such things are forbidden in germany and whats more important its just disgusting. If you are jewish or not, to not give a shit is really ignorant in my opinion. | ||

Don't kid yourself, he's a controversial guy and that's why he has so many fans. I couldn't care less about the swastika incident but I knew this would happen. | ||

It's meaning and its intended use are clear here. | ||

I agree that the meaning of the swastika has changed since WW2 and that anyone who stills preaches the "In hindu its not a negative meaning" thing is wrong. But I think its just something random he did, I think he was just clicking a lot and then just drew something random. I do agree that it was a bad move on his part, though I'm sure you also know he isn't anti-semitic. | ||

Chill. tf. out and just enjoy his streams. On the first page of this thread is a warning, anyway, that if you are offended by any of the language or slurs, than you should join in for the lulz. Besides. If you can't laugh at yourself for being a human being, whatever your ethnicity or relligion is, than you are just a giant doushe, anyway. | ||
