      Bra, itch has openly admitted to banning nsfw content because of credit card companies.

      You are telling us you are upset because some intern accidentally used an emoji and apologized about it but you are totally fine with a platform that is blatantly supporting fascism?

      The fuck?!?

        GOG apologizes for emailing Nazi runes to its followers

        GOG has apologized for a “Slavic adventure” newsletter sent out today that featured a number of very distinct Nazi runes in its subject line.

        To be clear, this is not a misunderstanding, or images that look kind of alike, or a misinterpretation of an ambiguous situation: That’s a Sonnenrad, a kolovrat, and the extremely unmistakable double Siegrune of the SS—quite possibly second only to the swastika as the most distinctive emblem of the Nazi regime.

        […]

        “We are sorry for today’s newsletter,” GOG wrote in an apology on X. “We made a series of mistakes: We created an unfortunate visual association by placing the runes incorrectly, we used the wrong logo for The End of the Sun, we did not check the display of the newsletter on mobile devices—which came out worse—and we didn’t port the feedback from our German QA to other languages.”

        The apology doesn’t substantially address how the symbols wound up in the email in the first place. The problem with the runes isn’t their placement, it’s that they are explicitly and indelibly associated with Nazis and white supremacists. Just as with the swastika, their meaning prior to the Third Reich is irrelevant: The Nazi links are too clear and prevalent to pretend that any other connection is equally meaningful.

        the article also has a screenshot of the email in question, and of gog’s apology on xitter

      They knew what they were doing enough that they didn’t send that email in Germany, then their “apology” was weak and dodgy. I don’t feel good buying from them anymore either.
