I don't get this comment section.
We allow emblems and banners for the LGBT but not emblems in support of veterans and military?
I'd rather have none but Bungie made it fair game.

Yeah man, let’s celebrate poor people being exploited by the rich :)
-
I don't know how you could equate a video game emblem with exploitation but you must swim in mental gymnastics to make that connection
-
I’m talking about the military and people wanting to celebrate it, not an emblem lmao.
-
It's not really celebrating the military from a government sense but rather the people in it
-
And what’s the celebration for exactly? [quote]yaaaay! You guys are making the sacrifice, putting your lives ON THE LINE so that rich people can benefit![/quote] [quote]good job poor people! You were successfully exploited by a machine that doesn’t care about you! Woo![/quote]

Edited by Dubufu: 9/5/2022 9:12:00 PMThese mental gymnastics would only work if the praise was coming directly from the government. When it's people to people, there's no harm done in showing a bit of appreciation from a simple emblem. Looking at things inside of a socio-political vacuum isn't healthy.

Yes, but what exactly is even being appreciated? Their willingness to be pawns for a careless machine? The fact that they might have been desperate and poor and looking for a way out? Like what’s being celebrated

Oh god not this guy

Edited by Dubufu: 9/5/2022 9:32:22 PMBy this logic, pride flags shouldn't be added to videogames because "Well, erm, what's to be celebrated? You're a man that likes other men?" When you look at things inside of a vacuum instead of from an individual perspective, it doesn't make much sense.
-
So you’re missing the point entirely, gotcha.

Edited by Dubufu: 9/5/2022 9:34:58 PMI think you're just a little too obsessed with politics instead of taking emblems at face value. That seems like a [u]you[/u] problem.

It’s the difference between celebrating the equality of people who have been historically and to this day persecuted and mocked and uh…. Wanting to celebrate the idea of people being used up and thrown away by a careless war machine. Okie dokie man.

[/quote] People don't celebrate the idea of government servitude, but rather want to honor those who went through it and died for this country to keep others safe. You answered your own question. Stop looking at things from an "ebil gobernment" perspective.

What a propaganda fueled sentence lmao

Lmao tin-foil hate type speak

Edited by Unbreakable Patches: 9/5/2022 9:41:55 PMIt’s incredible that people Still think soldiers are heroes fighting and dying for their country and its safety. They’re totally not just expendable grunts dying for nothing, no.

[/quote] Nowadays, not really But there is something to be said about the individualistic nature of veterans and past war heroes that are deserving of a modicum of respect, regardless of the possibly corrupt governments that rule them. You are looking at things from an anti-military viewpoint when I just think it's pretty courteous to just have an emblem for people of both past and present. An emblem isn't some sort of propaganda symbol, relax.
