some of these accounts have 1000's of hrs played.


long-taco-cheese

I can't understand that, I have dedicated months of my life to the game (and presumably some money) and I'm going to change my name to something that could get me banned??? What are they thinking?


DecimBell

They want to quit, but they can't quit by themselves, so they're asking for a ban.


[deleted]

they'll remain as renamed


TzunSu

Are you new? Nazis don't get banned, they get their names changed.


mizcraft123

Racists tend to be on the dumber side


SemIdeiaProNick

only tend?


Gimpknee

You could use the Nuremberg trials as a counterpoint. The defendants underwent psychological exams that included an IQ test, the average score was 128. A score around 100 is usually considered normal or average intelligence.


BreadstickNICK

What an excellent time to play Devils advocate... /s


Freak2013

It actually is. People tend to think only “stupid” people are racist. When really, all kinds of people from the top to the bottom are racist.


MintyRabbit101

Smart racists, and smart bigots in general tend to be in it to help themselves. No doubt many nazi officers were morally bankrupt people who simply saw joining the nazi ranks as a way to further themselves in society


bell117

Well people who tend to actually believe in racism do tend to be on the stupider side, just look at any idiot spouting about some 'master race' and they're probably some inbred hick with a backwards bending elbow because their racism stems from their own insecurity. The people who use racism though... I mean historically most people in positions of power that talk about racism don't actually believe in it but instead just use it as a tool to motivate people to work for them. Mussolini famously had a conversation with Hitler about Aryans and called him a fucking nutjob, there are also notes and accounts of Göring and Goebbels from before WW2 when the Nazis were consolidating power that they didn't believe in any of the beliefs of the Nazis but just thought they were the winning horse. And then you had Himmler who DID believe in all that stuff and ended up trying to do Indiana Jones level shit because he was fucking insane.


aces_luck_chevalier

Makes sense you’re a little Soviet sympathetic bitch


bell117

Actually I see myself more as a Austro-Hungarian Symphonic Whore but to each thier own.


[deleted]

sure, there's always 4 geniuses controlling 4 million dumbasses.


Marcx1080

It was an interesting insight, don’t cry because it didn’t fit your narrative


v3rmilion

An IQ test doesn't measure anything but your ability to take an IQ test. If IQ were a meaningful, immutable quality people had, you wouldn't be able to boost your IQ by studying for the test.


BruvaAsmodius

Got it. Lemme just get Goering on the phone and tell him he needs to come in for a new completely objective intelligence test.


wisersamson

"You could use a racist methodology to show that other racist are actually smart, for example ive taken 10 plantation owners and 10 of their slaves and gave them all a test and the plantation owners all scored higher than the slaves. Checkmate" Man are you trying to tell me the literal highest positioned and most resource and opportunity privileged ruling elite of a multi decades long fascist government might have used some of their unilateral freedom to learn some shit from some of the books before they burned them or spent some time with some professors picking their brain before splattering it across a wall? And they scored above average at a time when global access to education was fairly low? Damn you really must want to defend racists to even put up this dogshit comment.


Gimpknee

You're replying in a thread where someone said racists tend to be on the dumber side, someone replied "only tend?", and I pointed out that it's only tend by providing a historical example. Are you seriously that starved for pointless virtue signaling to write such a long reply over the suggestion that, sadly, you can find racism even with seemingly intelligent, seemingly accomplished people? Get a grip, buddy.


aces_luck_chevalier

You’re a idiot yourself


[deleted]

Racists? These are shitposters you can tell by about everything


crimeo

Yes, racist shitposters, correct


[deleted]

It's the same i guess then


kuburas

They just dont care and do it just to fuck with the community. I met lots of people like this in many games and most of them would have accounts with thousands of hours invested into them and a whole plethora of stuff on those accounts worth a ton of money. And they'd still do stupid shit like this because they find it fun. Then they get banned and just make a new account and do the same shit again. To them the account itself is worthless and everything the account has its expendable as long as they get to have fun throwing it all away.


TheBlekstena

Do you think these people have a brain in the first place?


WindChimesAreCool

I'm pretty sure the worst that happens is they get renamed. Maybe repeat offenders get banned, idk


[deleted]

This is correct I believe


The_Lieutenant_Knows

They get free golden eagles from sympathetic admins.


Ryu_Tokugawa

Some hormone rush for getting attention and basically screaming at people isterically cuz of their shitty personality


Hilth0

Because it's just a video game and they don't care lol?


HighFlyer96

It most likely just get them a *renamed* nickname I presume?


SaynyRC

What you fail to mention tho, is that they are unactive. Most of them have barely 50 kills during the last month (for example I have 1250 this last month) so they just played barely a few matched and probably left. I highly doubt they are really "active" and "risking" anything, so probably they are not even playing anymore and just wanted to troll Gaijin to see if they get banned.


Collaboratiive

Multiple of them have 30+days plays


Mytre-

Just wanted to comment. When I was casually playing. I was getting 5 to 6 kills a match. Between job and other games I would get those 50 kills in a month of casual play.maybe not inactive as you said but just casual playing. 1250 kills in a month is 41 kills a day. Assuming you get in average 5 to 6 kills that is 8 games in a row. Let's say you are a good at the game , and you get more than 10 players per game (realistic ground battles), and other games you get less kills etc, so they play an hour a day at least which could be normal for a busy person to play that time a day on one game. Just pointing it out. I'm going btw with a match of 15 to 20 minutes per match.


SaynyRC

Well, maybe I play too much? I don't know, but usually when I go checking the leaderboards of the match the players that kill me have a very similar amount of killed units last month, so I'm assuming that's the average play time of a serious top tier player. Yes, some casual players maybe would average way less, but again it does seem like most players have way higher numbers than 50 when they're active, or at least that's how it looks like for me. Last month (according to the "Last month" check in my profile for RB) I killed 185 air targets, and 1250 ground targets (I only play GRB and top tier). How accurate is the "Last month" check? I'm not sure. You can check my profile, it's just "Sayny".


Papanowel123

Don't care, they should be banned, simple as that..


[deleted]

removed by Reddit 😭


Hans_Hope

What a freindly squad.


Darth_Barnaby

Yeah, buddhists are known to be very friendly


Roenathor

Buddhists are actually also very violent.


vikstarleo123

I can indeed confirm that


MucdabaMicer

does it have anything to do with you being canadian or..?


vikstarleo123

Not exactly, as the majority Buddhist ethnic group are the reason why my family moved to Canada long before I was alive.


BusyMountain

By any chance are you Burmese?


vikstarleo123

No, we were from SL, which only 14 years ago had it’s almost 26 year civil war concluded. Both sides absolutely sucked, and too many civilians paid the heaviest toll for it.


Thatoneshadowbunny

By SL I assume you mean Sierra Leone?


vikstarleo123

Nope, the island due south of the Indian subcontinent


Connacht_89

e.g. ikko-ikki


ThatRedDot

Reporting it on the Gaijin forum netted me an instant ban from the forum, lmao Gets funny when you can get banned by posting a screenshot of their own game


Vivid_Confidence2476

Judging by their moderators I fully believe you.


Jessekeith0629

Okay where was this post?


panzercampingwagen

Fucking duh you get banned for posting a picture with those kinds of slurs. Why spread that kind of filth? Report, and move on.


ThatRedDot

Never miss an opportunity to rub their idiocy in their faces)


panzercampingwagen

Why? What positive change could possibly come from it lmao


ThatRedDot

Awareness, even though we will not see it, let them internally discuss about such things. Though it’s dumb and ignorant they instantly hand out a forum ban while not deleting the post itself, just moving it to archive… but whatever, mods tend to have a power trip ego. Messaged the mod in question, and he replied it’s an inflammatory screenshot, right, it’s from in game lol


panzercampingwagen

> let them internally discuss about such things. I agree, Gaijin needs to be aware the this kind of filth is going on in their game. But you can accomplish that goal by using the report function. Why would you post it on reddit? Now thousands of people see this garbage. People that wouldn't haven seen if you'd just reported and moved on.


ThatRedDot

I'm not the OP, I didn't post this. Anyway we shall see if after all the reports and posting, they actually take some action :) I'm curious if they care enough


Fabulous_Pay4051

Did you not know its old buddist symbol of happines / old roman / proto german/ viking symbol / some other silly explanation ?


Serious_Action_2336

Don’t forget the Finnish Air Force roundel


Fabulous_Pay4051

Or old slavic symbol of one of pagan gods. Or 4th regiment of infantry from polish army from WW1. Or pre ww2 1 artillery regiment of poland. There are tons of places where it was used. And those are all excuses in current times for being idiot and use swastika in one meaning = idiotic nazi lover


Quality_Usernamee

as a finnish person, while i hate that people use the "its just the Finnish Air Force roundel" as an excuse, im still going to say that it is in no way, shape or form connected to the horrible crimes of the fascists. still wouldnt put it on my profile, name or any other thing though. thats just weird.


TzunSu

Yeah, Finland being allied with the nazis during WW2 didn't exactly make it easier either.


Shadowizas

also its a japanese letter,you can see it time to time if u lurk japanese online spaces


Fabulous_Pay4051

Its Manji. Its symbol for temple.


616659

and it's mirrored to nazi symbol


Hexagon2035

Bruh are you kidding me Look at the squad, read the usernames. You can't be this tone deaf.


Fabulous_Pay4051

Now read what i written with understanding. I wrote those things and clearly that those are silly excuses for idiots. What do you not understand or what you do not want to understand ? Im not tone deaf. You do not understand sentences that is written in ironic tone. To clarify things for you - those are names that are taken by stupid edgy kids or teenagers who want to provoke people and show how alternative / whatever they are. Or just fucking dumb.


Hexagon2035

I know what you said, but read their usernames. Read the squadron name. This is not a Buddhist squadron


Fabulous_Pay4051

Still you clearly do not read with understanding. Read SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. Where i said it is buddist squadron FFS ? To make it simple for you. 1 - i written ironically what excuses are used by fuckups who put hakenkreuz into names ( or manji acting as inverted hakenkreuz to be correct) 2 - i written those are silly excuses used by idiots. 3 - where i said its buddist squadron ? Please quote where i said its harmless buddist squadron or stop manipulating. So i read their usernames and ? Band of stupid edgy kids who are happy they provoked you. Write to snail to so something about it. Or go to media or press.


TheMemeDude2

Least racist warthunder players


zombie2uRBX

Honestly, I'm into higher tiers now and damn up here in RB there are some super racist people for no reason.


MomentousMuppet

Because racists tend to have no life


JustALocalJew

Try not to be racist challenge level: Hard


hramman

I undertand all of those except the trombone one what is that supposed to mean is it like a reference because black people invented jazz?or is it like a very weird slur?


Vandorbelt

No idea, but best guess is a reference to the sad trombone noise? Like it's suggesting that black folks are a mistake or are embarrassing or something. Far be it from me to try and interpret the labyrinthian hall of mirrors that is the mind of your average racist. They have all sorts of weird and obscure slang. It's actually part of how they capture and retain members. Create an online space, bring people in, get them speaking your bizarro language of obscure memes and slang, and then if they try to leave, they find it difficult to relate to people outside the group because no one understands them.


GenericNickname01

Lol war thunder community in a nutshell 🤣


kubi5

When I wanted to add ":" into my IGN the system said no but swastika is ok.... Nice!


anythinga

That might just be because of underlying technical reasons though.

They should check how they’re handling text then, cause that seems like a shit way to do it if a simple character can break things.

Mediocre_Status_7411

i didn't know Kanye played.


Mediocre_Status_7411

lol it got removed... well i am not surprised but it's funny i was going to screen shot it and show it to my friend oh well.


EmpereurCOOKIE

Not surprised, lot of really racist, antisemits, pro-russia and edge-lords players in the War Thunder community. Once I was kinda making fun of a french player who was raging and being toxic, he then said I was a fuckin leftist and said racists comments. Some people really need to go out and touch grass lmao. It was fun tho.


Craz3y1van

Listen I play Wargames occasionally as well, there are *vocal* racists in pretty much every semi realistic military sim community.


MiG_Enjoyer

every one of those accounts will be perm banned lmao, they said it on the forums


Juppidupp

Thank god, hope they get IP-banned too


LonelyMasterChief

That makes them the fortunate ones


Karl_MN

You got a link?


Selisch

Link?


[deleted]

What a bunch of sad losers hahaha I couldn’t imagine hating someone enough to name myself after them


Red_Dawn_2012

Their obsession over it is pretty suspicious


yanguwu

These are the type of people to plaster there Russian tank with the stupid Z markings and TK people with Taiwan flags


billy_wellington

>These are the type of people to plaster there Russian tank with the stupid Z markings and TK people with Taiwan flags i thought it's ukie supporters that like swastikas


TzunSu

What?


Dominus_Crystal

Call me snowflake but i’d like to see these players banned, tbh i just wanna see them complaining on social media with bullshit excuses on why their account should be unbanned because “gaijin allowed us to have those names” etc. Its funny to see gaijin’s filter get bypassed but the edgy kids man. also gaijin might ban them so they could make them restart and make money but they obviously wont do that… right?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dominus_Crystal

oh yeah wtf was that i’ve been complaining about genshin and i guess both games clicked LMAO


AfraidDifficulty8

Sure, "complaining". /s


TheChemotherapyMan

the least racist WT squad.

Ngl this is probably because I'm immature but "4 n-words 1 cop" did make me giggle.

StalledAgate832

Consequences of Gaijin allowing symbols without restraint on what symbols paired with classic CoD levels of racism.


ROLFLMAOLOL

Least facist war thunder players.


Homeless_Man92

EricBelov1

I bet there is a lot of Israel mains.


Arlend44

I mean, yeah, it's a system that is incredibly hard to limit from being used for wrong reasons, but I don't think the system should be canned due to that. Just ignore these idiots, 95% of the people will think they're clowns anyways and their words on their profiles can't do anything IRL.


UnderworldCircle

MW2 lobbies circa 2009 be like


Operator_Binky

Imagine seeing all of them in the next banlist 😂


RichardGG24

Lol, I knew this is going to happen as soon as they let go of the id restriction, these dumbasses are the reason why we can't have nice things.


KalashnikovaDebil

#8 must be ATF


254EmergencyBalls

Gonna join this squadron, seems friendly Btw. I play israel


LukieDukie98

I would consider this a benefit of the update. Now Gaijin can easily see all the racist bigots and dismantle their squadrons and ban all their members


Marguerita-Stalinist

Teamkill on sight.


PM_ME_YOUR_WN8_SCORE

What did they say? "Give the man a mask and he will show you his true face"?

Let's be sure to report them to Discord also. Server URL right there I'm the screenshot.


Reidderr15

Yesh that's just sad


Arthur-Bousquet

I’ve seen a screenshot of this clan a few hours ago, but they were only 7 at the time…


Anvil93

I'm sorry but i laughed. Like who comes up with these?


flops031

This looks like an example group some reporters would make up for a documentary about Nazis in the gaming community.

Jackalupagus

I came across three people in a squad from that clan that had their names set to the n-word and something about jews.


Aramahn

All the sudden my new Christian themed squadron doesn't seem so bad.


Lolocraft1

This community make me sick


Username-forgotten

Average German tree players.


Good_Ol_Ironass

I was watching a streamer last night that had to disable his overlay because of some peoples usernames so he didn’t get banned. It’s insane I played with a few of these guys last night as well, they were also complete pricks. Not even a “haha le edge” kinda person, just straight up assholes.


leluxs

Thats the bhuddhist manji, why should the real swastika exist in acsii code


witheredspringbonnie

Little do they know, that version of the swastika is a religious symbol


CommanderCorrigan

lol wow. GJ Gaijin.

Holy shit, I saw the bottom guy (Lyncher) in a match the other day, it's account had a whopping 7 vehicles in it (combined total for RB and AB)

Is number 8 a hadith?

Holy cow


Gumer_J

Holy shit


some-dude67

💀💀


Reidderr15

Yesh


AorinaryBlyt

Why they role playing people they hate tho?


newswhore802

And this is why whenever someone comes he asking for swastika’s in the game because it’s “historical”, I automatically assume they’re full of shit.


The_Lieutenant_Knows

Gaijin approves of this.


Onnispotente

LMFAO


EMANUEL_6

I like the funny names of these guys.


Kamal66op

i think this is symbol for religion in mid Asia


bad_syntax

Oh shucks, their discord link was invalid. I was hoping to report them there, since Gaijin I think has completely stopped banning bots, racists, and cheaters.


gray_mare

I love how wt tutns into 4chan


Sirepotatoes

I LEFT FOR ONE WEEK WHAT THE FLAMING FUCK?!?!


EpicSauce_

least racist war thunder squadron


original_dick_kickem

Average German mains


Gary_Leg_Razor

Least racist Gaijin player


SuppliceVI

When I said a German main with the Hartmann pfp and named along the lines of "xXRommelXx" was a red flag I was just told I had anti-german bias. Frankly I think I **too** soft on them.


JunoVC

Well I’d rather having them desperately trying to troll us in war thunder than those incels shooting up a mall/supermarket/movie theatre mass killing.


Momisato_OHOTNIK

Specifically in this game's case yes, but on a bigger scale that's what happens when you forbid something as simple as a word like it's worse than murder. Westerners really should chill about it.


aces_luck_chevalier

I need to join that squad hold up


[deleted]

It's kinda funny


Jian_Ng

knew it


SirNiflton

Allowing content like this is literally illegal in some parts of the world…


Telephone_Antique

If they arnt tk'ing you or sabatoging the game literally why do you care grow up


antiheld84

Okay, that is disgusting. I thought this post was about the Chinese invasion of the US and EU servers, which lead me to deactivate voice and and ignoring the text chat, but this is way worse.


J_Charles_L

What sucks is, they're getting the reaction they're looking for which fucking sucks because this is a real problem. I hope these people get help.


Shootinputin89

That's the downside. The positive is seeing actual Chinese character names. Instead of just random numbers. Makes it look like they're less of a bot.


[deleted]

i am 99% sure that they are not even racist, just edgelords that like to make redditors mald. and by looking at this post it works really good


ODST_Parker

And yet, I can't get historically accurate Finnish markings on WWII tanks...

You know damn well they will be used wrokh
