So back in 2018, my buddy wanted to build a âBlack Churchâ which contained inverted crosses. Not wishing to put a large amount of work into something that would just be erased, he reached out to James. We had just had our first big Swastika fiasco, and it was absolutely determined that it was indeed a symbol of hate, and therefore agqinst Coc. HOWEVERâŚ
My friend was told that since non-inverted crosses WERE allowed, and since the inverted cross was not a symbol of hate, it would be allowed.
While its socially correct and appreciated to avoid politics, religion, and yes, even sexuality in most instances, these are not NECESSARILY violating CocâŚonly HATEFUL messages/symbols are really on the radar, and I see none of that
Mainly looking At that huge black lives matter logo.
Im not saying its wrong⌠Im not saying any of this stuff is wrong⌠People do what they wanna do⌠I just passed the info like it was told At forums.
Ah, thanks. I tried looking that up, but I didnât see anything indicating it was BLM. Easy to confirm once I knew what it was, though.
Iâm not getting in a discussion about controversial symbols, but using the strict wording of the quote from James, only excluded religious symbols there. Iâm not saying there isnât merit in discussing symbols like this further, but I donât personally want to have that discussion here.
The raised fist is a historic symbol of solidarity and defiance used by oppressed and marginalized groups and their allies. Workers rights, Civil rights, etc. throughout the ages.
Iâm all for whatever symbols anyone wants to use in game personally and I am not going to get into any discussion around politics or personal beliefs in this forum, but in Buugiâs defense the fist there is 100% what he suggested it might be. Nothing against it my eyes⌠but to each his own.
I believe the discussion Buugi mentioned was about taking the religious symbol emojis out of the beta. Originally the game had religious symbol emojis. No need for them in boundless. People are free to build whatever they want though as long as it isnât hate speech.
Thereâs a lot more to it than just hate-speech, so technically people can build whatever they want as long as itâs within the rules set out in the Code of Conduct and EULA.
I donât see any problem with the fist personally, as itâs generally used as a symbol of unity and inclusion as opposed to anything nefarious.
As stated, I find nothing against it and I am well aware of the MANY versions of the fist and what it can represent. I am a huge history buff and the fist has always represented solidarity and many many other things.
I am also a graphic artist @ heart and have done tons of logo designs and looked into the history of many logos and what the represent and how a person could perceive a logo and well branding in general⌠anyways ⌠nothing wrong with the fist ⌠as Boundless uses a fist for their logo which is what I first though when I saw the fist in the contestâŚ
I throw my fist up if someone says âI need a beerâ for gods sakes. All about solidarity.
Separate story pertaining to the old thread referenced here, I once stumbled onto a chapel on Sorissi. Sign outside said something like âno sinners allowedâ, so I drove to my local church to get absolved of my sins real quick then came back and entered the build. Guy had signs all over saying non believers are going to hell etc⌠if you donât accept Christâs love youâll get turned into a toad and all that.
Thatâs an example of someone pushing the outside world onto players in game. Not that I was offended, I would never report anything, but something symbolizing solidarity is on a completely different level.
LOL no but my momâs hair dresser gave me a little stone once with that kind of sentiment. I was like âthis will look great in my trash can thank youâ
I changed the local church in Minecraft to a shrine to the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) back when I used to play. So fun with the community made mods. So fun.
a fist is a ancient cry for war from our innerbeast since beginning off time everybody knows what it means when a fist like that shows up and they feel it as well i give it a pass its what we are and we can hide it all we want butt in the end when nothing works it be there its a part off being human and our eternal conflict with greed,envy,âŚ
the fist used to work alot better in old days now its difficult to see who to point it at
i do prefer the butterfly and that drunk dragon unicorn lol @DKPuncherello thks for being subsitute dev and making gameplay until they return
