Anybody else find it a bit ridiculous that we aren't allowed to play for 3-4 hours and lose some of the already-sparse game content because of a similarity to a falsely classified "hate symbol" that nobody even complained about?
It's as if Bungie is more concerned with winning points among that certain class of media personalities (the only people who seem to actually give a toss about this kind of thing) than winning them among its actual playerbase.

[spoiler]edit: I was lead to believe by Bungie tweets on the matter that items would be removed, however they were instead replaced... Pls no sue me 4 faek news kthx[/spoiler]

Hey man. The swastika is nothing but a Tibetan sun wheel. The symbol is thousands of years old and shows up around the globe meaning the symbol was common place even before humans migrated across the landbridge of Asia to the Americas. And in spit of it's ancient context, it is still immediately recognized globally as a symbol of hatred and bigotry... The origin of a symbol stops mattering when you allow that symbol to be coopted by a terrorist organization, rather it was a hate symbol original, it is one now. Sorry. That's how it works.
