The other day I kept noticing a swastika as I was reading through posts over on Cageside. The user
@American Nazi Party lost a SN bet with @Bones Nose and I guess had to change their name and avatar to Hillary Clinton doing a sieg heil in front of a large swastika.
I asked both bettors if they might consider making a change to something more tactful (certainly there are hundreds of other ways to lampoon the Democratic party, Hillary, etc) and was essentially told it was a good thing to trigger people.
So now I ask the rest of you, going by our community standards and whatever else you think, should avatars and screennames be allowed to contain overtly racist imagery connected to historical mass murder like the Nazi flag, lynchings, ISIS, etc? Do you consider this all just in good fun? Does this turn away potential new members? Is it just free expression?
