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.

I see so many comments, much like OP's, that read like "all these leftist SJW libtard cucks are just looking to be offended" and that isn't what happened at all. They didn't get rid of this because of negative press, or because of a vocal minority crying for its removal. They removed it because it was brought to bungie's attention that the piece of gear resembled a hate symbol, and instead of leaving it in for literally no reason other than to not give right of center reactionaries something to bitch at those on the left about, they removed it. The reaction from people that it was removed is going far above the reaction that came about once it was discovered. What reason was there to keep it in? Honestly I want to know. Why do people care so much that it was removed? Ask yourself why this matters, you'll find that it doesn't, and that the people reacting negatively to its removal far outweigh the people who reacted negatively to its discovery. So which side of this argument is really the easily offended pearl clutching pussies here?
