The nazi flag is not a fair comparison, it was only ever used by the Nazis. The Japanese flag in question has a much greater history.

Also, as others have pointed out, every country has committed atrocity at some point. To call a flag offensive for something that happened over 60 years ago is ridiculous.

People need to stop being offended so easily. Especially by little things like flags.

Eklipse, people EVERYWHERE are going to get upset and offended by something. It doesn't matter what we do. I find it funny that Kapy was the one who started this thread tho. Especially when he only ever gives positive feed back maybe once every 30 posts.

Let's sum this up.

You're arguing over a flag of a clan in an online game.

Really? You can do better, can't you?

And you're right, it isn't my problem. I'm just warning folk who are thinking about joining - you should be thanking me.

No... just... no...

i would like to lodge a complaint with afterdark management. your clanmate zhuq mentions the lost wolves way too much, and it's getting a little creepy when it's not critical comments. i would much prefer in the future that zhuq only makes negative comments about our clan, or better yet, shuts up.

Starting this thread was a bad idea.

Anyway, something has to be cleared. Joining the CORP puts you at risk in:

Indoctrination. Beware! It is a sect which will brainwash you from the start. You can't help it, after a week you will be donating all your pension to the clan. After your money runs out, they will send you to the secret national military centre in Tokio(under the patronate of CORP). The soldiers will rape you all day, but don't worry, you will be given free wi-fi to contribute to your clan.

Before this happens you will have to commit atrocities on children, after you arrive on US soil in Pearl Harbor. Everything in the name of Japan and CORP of course.

You will be taken tatoo of naked anime porn which will become your second nature.

If you think it ends here, you are wrong! After ten years in Tokio you will get to know the secrets of illuminati. You will however not leave the military centre afterwards, because the secrets can never be shared.

The final stage will be arrival of mysterious ship and then you will be eaten by reptilians.



If you are not prepared to challenge any of these, DO NOT JOIN CORPS, period.

Hey man. I'm fine with you saying stuff about our clan, but don't bring Illuminati into this.

Also, I just realized that there actually is a Nazi-themed clan on WL. T4R ring a bell, anyone?

Odd that I forgot about them, as I used to be a part of them before I joined TLW.

Its bad that I actually liked him at one point. And now he's kinda just an arse. Oh well. Couldn't be bothered.

hmmm CORP seems like an interesting place.

It is, shini. It is.

I mean, we're talking about a roleplaying clan in which the largest subgroup is the strategic dojo. >_< Interesting times for the clan!

Well, I back down. Whatever I say here, there will be 10 folk to say "I hate you - you're dumb", will only decrease my reputation. I still find this flag very offensive, this better be a good attribute you're saving. I still find it ridiculous and laughable that you're keeping Lolicorn. And your clan must learn to take constructive criticism.

One point I do want to make clear, though - this is not a message to CORP, this was a message to anybody who was looking to join CORP - but my approach here was poor. And the last 4 reasons I specifically said might not affect everybody.

To the three categories of replies here, I have three more things to say:

"I hate you, you're dumb" - If you manage to have an argument without using insults, please inform.
"You used to be cool, but now are not" - I still am cool, just not with most CORP (because of CORP propoganda instigated by mostly knyte, Angry Panda and Kazuki. I've had two different folk say that I am tied for smartest person Warlight and I should be an Internet role model.
"Good points, but not the way to go about it" - perhaps.

УГ - Des, you didn't even know me ever, what do you have to say here? Tshh

knyte, Angry Panda, and Kazuki

Yay! I finally made Juq's hate list alongside those two. That's all I wanted to accomplish here.

wow such an intense hate war between you guys.

Does this look like a war to you?

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=8717554

no that looks like a one sided battle.

Well, I do hate you, too

I'm rarely wrong.

you should be thanking me.

I still am cool

So much arrogance.

In reference to the Japanese flag I find this to be the core problem with "political correctness". In Germany, when a solider preforms an act of extreme valor in afghanistan or in another NATO conflict what do they get? Nothing. The German army has no medal for valor because their old medal was the Iron Cross and that is too "politically incorrect" to give to soldiers considering the holocaust.

The fact is that the Iron Cross was an old Christian Prussian medal long before it became associated with hatred and genocide. The only reason that people find the Iron Cross (and therefore the japanese flag) offensive is because they have assigned some form of hurt to it when in reality it is just a collection of colors.

Is it Politically correct to use a Japanese flag? Probably not. Should you give two shits about a bunch of colors? no.

And the swastika was used over 5000 years ago. It ment "good forture" and it is an important symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. You can find swastika's in modern day India and Pakistan on the tops of houses among other places. The only reason people find it offensive is because they want to be offended by it and because people have bad memories of the Natzi's.

Remind me again why we are letting a bunch of dead genocidal maniacs determine what certain symbols mean?

I find iron crosses are honorable, if anything. People who wore an iron cross as Germans usually really deserved one.
