Formal Complaint about the new smilies.

[Sloths Rule]

Hello, I was wondering if we could get the new smilies changed?
I think, and my girlfriend agrees, that the smilies:



are racist towards Jewish people (Such as myself).

It mimics the "Heil Hitler" sign that our people suffered from, and I really find it personally offensive.

Was this done on purpose? :/

If it wasn't, that's okay, but it kind of kills me a bit inside each time I see them on this website.

Is it possible for them to be removed or changed?

Thanks in advance,

Sloths Rule.

Hitler was saluted with the right hand. The smilies are raising their left.

Argument over. Troll failed. Lock thread.

[zero88]

Don't you realize those are swords? Not hands? Political correctness has become absolutely ridiculous.

[Orici]

Errrr....one of them is a Spartan holding up his sword. The other is Link holding the Master Sword. Link does that several times in many Zelda games, and has nothing to do with Hitler.

(Notice how they're holding up their swords, not arms)


*And excuse me if I sound rude, but I think you and your girlfriend should find better things to do with your time than complain about smiley's that remotely resemble Hitler*

:s parta::mast ahsword::ma stahsword:

Even if they WERE raising their right swords (not hands), don'tcha think it's a bit ridiculous to get offended over two sprites?

Once I see a dancing Hitler as the forum background while a voice yells out some anti-jewish message, I think you don't have a valid complaint here.

Sloth, I never knew that black jews existed before.

[JemaKnight]

I can totally see this thread becoming awesome.

*waits*

Hee hee

Oh you're gay too? Cool. Do any sprites offend your gayness?

[Anime_Queen]

.. Please tell me you're joking, sloths xD

You ARE, aren't you? no? *pokes* :>

I usually hear of people getting offended over things that have nOTHing to do with them or the issue they claim to be offended over, but I have never seen it happen in front of me - this is the first time!

also, the owner/webby of this site is Jewish and.. well.. I'm just glad he isn't as paranoid xD

..

But you wERe joking, no?

[Λύσις]

thos smilys ofend me two, cause they has swords and som people i may o rmay not be related to wre killed with swords a long time ago. i also voet that we get them removed.

[Shikaino]

MAN, CHILDREN SHOULDN'T BE TRUSTED WITH SWORDS OR SCIENCE, END OF STORY.

[Cody]

Interestingly, the owner of the website is both Jewish and made the Link smiley himself.

But yeah, holding up a sword is neither copyrighted or related in any way to Hitler.

[Insani]

Woah.
This is really ******ing retarded.
If someone doesn't like a smiley, Don't use it.
It's only 2 sprites, anyway.

[Orici]

You know in Brawl, if Yoshi wins he sticks his arm up in the air sorta.

[Insani]

So, You're offended by yoshi in ssbb too?
FACEPALM

[Panique]

BUT JEWSON IS JEWISH

[Insani]

I don't even know who jewson is.

Its not as simple as Sloth using it or not. A little bit of Sloth's soul is killed everytime he sees it on the site. So any jerk can just post a bunch of smileys like so:
Thus it leads to great emotional, psychological and spiritual pain for him.

[Anime_Queen]

Jewson is Jason is the owner/webmaster of ZU! :p

Crimson_Hero: you support the stance that it is "offensive"? =X

[Insani]

Yes, But seriously, how are those related to hitler?
They're just guys with swords.

[CurryMonster]

Failed troll. Tragic, really; it had so much potential.

[Insani]

I wish I knew what you meant.
The Admin should give people the option so that they can't see certain smiles.
