I understood that referenceDanish person named c_nut
I'm not familiar with professional esports/fps, but maybe a unique/provocative design can help you get sponsors?Is that the US wearing a Nazi uniform? LMAOI

the south korean and brazilian are clearly designed like other nationalities too.
are you sure? if so, fps gaming culture seems more stifling than I expected.Yeah I don't think any brand would want to be associated with Nazi symbol lol.
The symbolism around that is associated with some of the worst atrocities in the past century and can be considered offensive. No international sane brand would want to be associated with such symbolisms.are you sure? if so, fps gaming culture seems more stifling than I expected.

IMO, people who consider these stuff “cool” probably just like their sharp designs and are too distanced from what happened in WW2 (time and/or distance wise).
yeah I'm a modern day person and if I was running a brand I wouldn't sponsor a player with any sort of nazi shit on his profile. They're like, THE example of evil fascist pieces of shit in the public eye the world over.that's obvious , but I was talking about esports specifically:
a profession that started after 2000 (55 years after world war II) - with huge emphasis on younger generation.
and fps obviously doesn't seem like for people who are that sensitive about past wars

is sponsoring one player really an issue? when there are lots of world war II games? (some very famous) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_War_II_video_gamesAssociating any brands with a war is already an international minefield, thus we almost never see it (unless it’s something related to some state propaganda). Associating it with an international stigma is a brand/image suicide.
you got any relevant e-sports examples? because this sounds like some general stuff anyone can say - but often doesn't applyEven they target a specific audience, the society will not miss it, and the moment that happens that will ruin the brand (and more importantly stock prices).
this is an obvious exaggeration.These stuff are pretty much equal to racism after all.
how does Germany, one country, affect international esports specifically?In addition, there are specific laws in Germany (a significant power & market in EU) against these symbolisms.

Also, I'm pretty sure companies don't use the E-sport game's character as their actual symbol and German laws still doesn't stop nazi characters/designs from being made elsewhere in the world.
except they're not, they're endorsing a player,purposely and knowingly endorsing Nazi symbol

sorry, your phrasing doesn't make me think you really know how e-sports sponsoring works, I'd prefer some actual details/sources.yeah I'm a modern day person and if I was running a brand I wouldn't sponsor a player with any sort of nazi shit on his profile.
I think the iron cross and the bird like symbol on the hat is nazi-esque though - we don't see a swatiska, but it may be covered.besides, the dude is pretty clearly just some kinda cyber-general design, not a nazi.
isn't that just a uniform similar to what the officers wore during WWI especially the British and those who earned the Iron Cross?Is that the US wearing a Nazi uniform? LMAO
