This is a bit ridiculous in my eyes. Firstly, the Kekistani movement is intended as a joke. It's a parody of identity politics as a whole, and is absolutely not a hate group. It's a made-up ethnicity intended to be a substitute for an oppressed class. It's meant to parody the use of someone's race or oppressed class as a buffer for their argument, because in reality one's race, gender, or religion does not affect the credibility of their argument one bit. And yes, it parodies white supremacy just the same as it parodies social justice warriors.
I don't understand how this is in any way a "hate group." It's just a little 4chan injoke that grew way too big until the people memeing it forgot its original meaning.
Bungie, don't become one of these skittish developers that always bows down to overzealous political correctness. There's no need to censor or change your game because it might accidentally offend someone's politics. Us fans just want you to deliver a fun experience that's exactly as the developers intended. Sure, you can say that it's [i]just one armor piece,[/i] but it's still substantial. It could have just as easily been that a beloved exotic was found to be "offensive" and had its visuals completely overhauled just to please angry politicals. I don't like this trend in gaming and I thought Bungie was better than this.

Leave it to social justice warriors and groups like antifa. Literally fascists themselves trying to suppress everyone else's free speech. Nothing about it is offensive. Probably just triggered someone with my "micro aggressions". Smh

3 AntwortenNow watch as Bungie makes Ikora and Shaxx Gay

3 AntwortenJust more libtards ruining things, for d3 the issue will be the game not having transexual character in it.

3 AntwortenIt just shows how bungle has no courage or character. What a bunch of cucked betas.

Shhhhhhh you might offend someone and make them retreat to their safe place where guns,Trump, and meat don't exist

8 AntwortenSo what youre saying is that if I pose at a KKK rally with a flag bearing a Destiny Tricorn symbol we can blindly attribute that with racism and white supremacists? Sounds like a plan.

2 AntwortenThe fact that Bungie perpetuated the lie that a meme is some super spooky white nationalist symbol of hatred that makes them want to lynch every black person on Earth is pretty hilarious. Way to feed the troll.

People are accusing each other of fascism. The americans that fought the fascists in world war 2 were bigots. They believed in segregation, they believed in suppressing black votes, they believed in paying women less than men and keeping women from voting...and yet they fought the fascist and stopped them. People act as if there is actual oppression in america today. There isn't. These victim mentality crybully people are just like the government in the 60s witchhunting imaginary communists and blacklisting their families. You people done masks and attack others in the streets with clubs and smash cities storefronts in your self righteous search for an adversary that doesn't exist. You are creating white nationalists by taking people like those tiki torch carrying idiots seriously and thus giving them credence in the eyes of the ignorant. You will find your opposition, because it will be of your own creation.

10 AntwortenWhat's even sadder is seeing the people who actually believe that it's a racist symbol

4 AntwortenI demand Bungie to release the name of the artist who came up with this item, and then fire him/her/xer. We cannot allow this white supremacist neonazi to continue working on this game. If Bungie does not do this, they are basically saying that they are okay with neonazis and hatred against minorities, women, the LGBTQP+ community and basically everyone who is not a straight white male.

Did anyone else notice Ghaul wears all WHITE??? Check your privilege cabal #ShadowThrallLivesMatter

I wonder how many non white players are here saying "hey this symbol meme is not even really hateful" the fact is they found something that be perceived as hateful and instead of taking a stance on something they don't believe in they changed it...... sorry I'm not up to date on alt-right politics and associations!

I've got it from a engram today lol...

The level up sign is a sideways K. it stand for kekistan and I want it removed and I am VERY offended and upset that Bungie is full of white [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url].

4 AntwortenThe overzealous political correctness has gone to insane levels when corporations/people panic like simpering cowards at the thought of offending A MADE UP HATE GROUP. Which in turn does nothing but give the tiny collection of idiots who think it's real legitimacy and give them free PR. Making a big deal out of this has done more to further hate than any pair of gloves ever could. Well done bungie, feed the hatred.

3 AntwortenAre we gonna get the armor appearance back with the KEK label taken off? If pussies wanna get offended by the label on some armor, fine. But I'd like to get that appearance back if possible. Having the full set looks dumb right now.

1 AntwortenI wonder if we will ever see the day where kekistan isnt being oppressed. I can't believe bungie would remove amour for having there sacred flag (which they fought hard to get) from their game just because the oppressors want them gone . Smh

I must be getting old because none of this makes any sense to me.

The funny thing is that while playing Crucible I've noticed a lot of clans with "kek" as their clan tag. So by removing the armor the game is now being flooeded with "kek" clans. They could have done nothing and nobody would have ever known, but by drawing attention to it they are basically inviting the trolls. As somebody who doesn't care other way, my popcorn is ready.

35 AntwortenThis is the greatest thread ever. Just a bunch of super sensitive MRAs complaining about people complaining. It's hilarious. For the record - there was NO HUGE OUT CRY over the gloves. Bungie just realized they looked like something associated with hateful losers and are removing them. The enormous whiny out cry has been 100% from the 4chany people. Hilarious.

^^^ since this stupid thread somehow refuses to die (thanks, bigots!!!) "...can't shake the Devil's hand and say you're only kiddin'..."

4 AntwortenYeah and swasticas are something to do with Buddhism let's use them as well!! Whether you like it or not racist idiots use kekistan flag as a hate symbol, so it's not really a joke is it!!!
-
No idea what this group refers to nor do I want to know, but it seems it was controversial enough to trigger a removal. Don't think 4chan jokes, no matter how little, is what Bungie wanted to include in their game, which has become geared to a very young audience.
-
At the end of the day, Bungie made the decision on its own. If there was some wailing outcry about it it must have been the quietest, most short-lived controversy in the current era. In fact, the only controversy I've seen is from Bungie deciding they were gonna remove it...

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von Gatomori: 9/15/2017 3:30:13 AMIn the end, we should all thanks Bungie for ascending the "pepe is a white supremacists" meme, because now normies truly fear Kek.
