If a hate group started using the traveler in any images would Bungie shut the entire game down or re-skin the giant sphere as a giant cube?

Unfortunately for them thats actually infringement and easy to punish.

Hard to sue Anonymous people though.

Not really, it happens quite often. Tons of 4chan members get arrested for CP posting. Youre never truly anonymous online.

That's a bit of a different situation. But interestingly, during the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville a few weeks ago, hate groups were waving the Detroit Red Wings logo as a banner. The Red Wings owners were quick and aggressive about issuing a statement and taking any legal action available to kill the use of their logo by these groups. Tiki Torch did the same thing. I think if these groups started using Bungie logos, Bungie and Activision would take similar action. Because, no one wants to be associated or rebranded as imagery for a hate group. Similarly, the creator of Pepe the Frog is on working to shut down the use of his character in hate group memes through legal use of the DMCA.

That's different. The Traveler is clearly a Destiny thing. If the same groups started walking around in Darth Vader costumes Star Wars would still be running strong. At worst the property owners would release some statement officially stating that they don't support the views and opinions of those groups. KEK is unrelated to Destiny, the symbol in question isn't even meant to be a reference to the original meme.
-
Yes but KEK in the context we're talking now is an 'anti-being offended at everything' meme, it has as much to do with those racist groups as the traveller does. So you would agree if say, every gaming outlet refused to use images of the traveller in it's destiny promotions if some KKK asshat started retweeting images of it?
-
No, I would not agree with that, and I believe I've already explained why. It really doesn't matter what KEK memes mean, the simple fact that hate groups have appropriated it as one of their symbols makes the association. Bungie is simply trying to distance themselves from those groups.
-
"It doesn't really matter what [b]The Traveller[/b] means, the simple fact that hate groups have appropriated it as one of their symbols makes the association, [b]Gaming Outlets[/b] are just trying to distance themselves from those groups." This is quintessential doublethink at work, guilt by association is fine until the same logic is applied to something you like.
-
1. I already explained to you that I'm not arguing for or against Bungie's decision so your continued arguments are uneccasary. 2. Just for the sake of clarification, this is not doublethink, context is important. One is a meme with roots in racist imagery, the other is an intellectual property owned and managed by a company.
-
If context is so important why are you ignoring the context of the imagery used in the Kekistani flag? A [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] flag was appropriated and turned into a joke, how is this anything but a good thing?
-
Please stop, I've already expressed multiple times now that I'm not interested in having this argument. Enough with the straw men.
-
That's fine, but nobody has to accept your points as true if you're not willing to debate them.
