This can’t like just be a coincidence right? I feel like all of those symbols in the same tagline suggests something more than just coincidence.

      So they were aware of the nazi symbolism and still sent it out, just not in Germany where it’s illegal?

      which is also abs bullshit

      this is the original title: “Slavic adventure 𖥞 ꥟ ϟϟ”

      those “ϟ” runes are Greek Koppa runes:

      which are an entirely different symbol to the Sowilo rune “ᛋ”:

      so the whole “not displaying correctly” is completely fabricated (also you don’t fucking need two of them side by side)

      imo someone snuck in a neo-nazi symbol in an email and GOG were either okay with it (if their not sending the email in Germany thing is legit - tho people are saying they got it there as well) or they’re just too up their own asses to admit someone did send out a nazi dogwhistle and instead of investigating who and why they double downed on gaslighting - not a good look either way

      I mean the SS symbols on their own is bad enough but its not the only issue with this titel.

      Am I the only one seeing the wheel as a possible approximation of the Black Sun and the middle an approximation of the Kolovrat. (Which is heavily used by Slavic Nazis.

      Perhaps I’m pushing the association a bit far, but with the SS symbols it’s not that far fetched… Right?

        @nope @banazir there’s a distinct impression that the collection of symbols was specifically chosen to provide plausible deniability («it’s not EXACTLY that thing») while still being a clearly recognizable dogwhistle. And honestly this just makes it worse.
