World War II was a horrible time for all humanity, and I think that we ought to at least address the painful topics associated with the war if we are going to make a game that could so intimately follow the course of the war.
Such topics include, but are not limited to-

The addressing and possible inclusions of such topics as the Holocaust and the Rape of Nanking,
The Swastika.

I'm just wondering what we should do with these topics. Don't include them and keep the game as fun and innocent as a war game can get?
Or include them to a degree for accurate representations of the war, in the event that a campaign were to touch on such sensitive topics.

I don't think we should have any swastikas at all, but maps like Nanking, we must have civilian units to accurately represent the battle, and if a campaign should touch on the holocaust, what would we do then?

I don't mean any harm to anyone, I'm just wondering how we should handle these topics.

As long as we dont include hate meesages i think it will be fine

Anybody who includes hate messages ought to be banned outright, we don't do that here. But you would be surprised just how many hateful people you can find out in the world. Some of you may remember the Charlottesville riots last year? It's a rather strange time, and we should tread with caution without sacrificing historical accuracies.

It is absolutely possible to do both

What?

Gal. Sturnn- I absolutely agree.

General Brave- What?

I'm pretty sure we already discussed about this a while ago.

We are not getting into off conclusion tho.

We did? I was not aware of this.

Should I get rid of the topic then? I hate to look like an idiot.

We should avoid symbols/topics and such that can harm aníone's feelings.
if anyone faces one or two missing this we can discuss it in detail.

but in general: no holocaust, no nazi cross and no any texing and so on about these "sensitive" matters.

thanks!

Very well then.

We can makes it more softer. For example Rape of Nanking= Just take the part where the Chinese soldiers fight the Japanese, no need the civilians killing. All campaign will address Nazi party as "the party". HItler will be called "the leader". The SS=Party members. Just make it referring.

That sounds good

I don't like "softening" history, but if we reeeally want to be sure to not get banned, it sounds like solution.
