Re: Avatar pushing the limits....
I would say we msg him and delete it explaining why, that seems pretty blatant on whoever made it's part, whether he knows it or not.

Re: Avatar pushing the limits....
oh come on guys. Yeah I see what you see but that is pretty harmless. Its green and a cactus, anyone who would get offended by that is likely wanting to get offended.
Let's not get to PC crazy |

gg. It's a character from Final Fantasy III. Edit to add: Wikipedia. [/ QUOTE ] I do find it interesting in this thread that he references "American History X". Great film, of course. But an interesting reference under the circumstances. This is not the first time his avatar has been brought up for discussion (not sure if the last was here or in a forum). Given the Final Fantasy reference I'm okay with it even though my first reaction is pretty negative. I would, however, shoot him a PM and just tell him that it's been brought up a couple of times and people who don't know the reference might be offended. He might want to consider taking it down himself. |
Re: Avatar pushing the limits....
if people are actually bitching he could just pick another picture of the same thing. this does sound a little silly though.

Re: Avatar pushing the limits....
I think if people are bitching about that, it says more about than it does about the avatar.

Re: Avatar pushing the limits....
Apart from being cactuar, it's also not a swastika (note the arms aren't all in the same direction).
|
Re: Avatar pushing the limits....
There is a clear and obvious resemblance to a swastika, whether or not it technically meets the definition.
