for the vast majority of this community's most problematic groups and individuals everyone was like 13-17 years old including the server runners and the majority of staff. it's pretty hard to hold people accountable for their lack of empathy in discerning what was funny, and what was over the line, especially when it got muddled by an era where edgy=funny, and a vast majority of people didn't fathom the real world consequences of most of what they portrayed
Yeah, I was also an edgy loser conservative when I was a teenager, but what I'm saying is there were 0 consequences. Like the head dude responsible for this nonsense was just allowed to come back in 2023, while all the ogs or whatever are now adults. Then HS went apeshit at me for saying this is fucked up.

Not even any apology or, at the very least, acknowledgement or anything about any of this. Zero accountability. Like this whole "zero tolerance for racism" and whatever policy is just a complete lie and double standard lol.

Man I think people live too much in the past for stuff edgy 14, 15 and 16 year olds did, we all grew up assumingly, some are on a watchlist, most are not, who cares. It happened, nothing to do about it now.

Sing kumbaya and hold hands now
for me it's more the layers of oversight there was to pass through or that nobody noticed at all, granted back then black suns and strange nordic runes weren't as mainstream as they are now - something like this now would get noticed immediately and everyone would be probably questioned about their level of involvement before the guillotines fell. i wouldn't hold this against anyone now but dismissing it as a boys will be boys attitude is dangerous on its own, esp. in today's political climate

I never played Neb back then so I can't weight in much isn't but there two rosters? One with the Black Suns and one with the Luftwaffe ranks. So surely someone noticed the Nazi imagery and opted to have it replaced with considerably subtler Nazi imagery, can't blame people for not recognising the Luftwaffe stuff.

Then again the Luftwaffe one is called 'old' and the Black sun one is called 'Experimental' so maybe they were upgrading rather than down.

even back in the day people rightly took the piss when OMSO's origins were discovered

I don't like the fact I'm now forever tied to that shit, even though I was unaware of the origin behind those icons it still feels icky.
c'mon key

when half your fellow headcops were pulling runes, ranting about minorities or sketchy pickup shit back then are you really that surprised?
for every chill soul like baker you had four tommy robinson wannabes - and they were always the most fanatical.

I was a teenager and naive, don't really know what else to tell you. I grew up in an environment where it was pretty universally understood that nazis were bad and the thought that some people I knew or even trusted could be deep in such ideologies wasn't something I actively considered.

I was playing a video game game, and when I played the antagonist I did it to try and make the game more fun for other people, not because I wanted to fulfill some kind of deranged neofascist fantasy.

HL2RP was always make believe to me but I suppose for others it was something quite different.

as an aside, this is why i do actually hold a OOC bias against anyone who unironically claims they're a cop main

historically the people who prefer playing combine are weirdos and fascists and nazis, and it makes sense considering that's literally what the faction is

rebel players have their problems too but their issue is they're all just selfish cunts, and i can handle that

CWU mains are objectively superior to everyone else.
