KirukaChan Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yes but with this brought to light it should be changed. DE has no shortage of artists and there's no reason to reuse that symbol if it is indeed related to nazism. Although I've never seen or heard of this symbol either. The wolfsangel symbol didn't originate with the Nazis. The 45-degree tilted swastika did, although other swastikas were around before them. Really, though, I don't think the Corpus give a crap about peoples' feelings. They're the CORPUS. The nicest Corpus we've met so far has been Darvo, and even he is a scheming snake-in-the-grass at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegamer118 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 the corpus and grineers are humans from earth, and the game is like a hell lot in the future, maybe the corpus got bored and decided to look for some cool logo designs, and happened to step on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katinka Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 So, Nudist Beach was onto something then? I'm really tempted try to get my clan name changed to Nudist Beach. The guy who set it up spelt the current name wrong anyway so it needs changed and I'm curious how long it would take for anyone else to notice.

RoboDoge Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 DAMMIT. Well, Nazis never had Bombard power armor. I think I'm safe. Enclave=Fallout Nazis. And we all know that Enclave use some advanced MK 2 Power Armors. Also, they use Missile Launchers. YOU ARE NOT SAFE! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trowicia Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 First of all, symbology is subjective. It might not have been inspired by what you think inspired it. Second, actually if it were inspired by a Panzer division (ie, Nazis), then it would be appropriate for the Grineer, who are pretty much racial supremacists to start with. +1 Jeez stop being so quick to make assumptions, while it's coincidental you have to consider that it could always be unintentional.

VegetableBasket Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The symbol adopted by the Nazi's actually meant peace and stuff. It is called a swastika. That, my friend, is not a swastika. You didn't read the whole thread, it's about another symbol entirely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) -snip- actually, that symbol you're referencing is only the symbol of one of the Armored Vehicular Divisions that were used by Germany. zero direct connection to Nazi's - it is simply a symbol of one of the organized groups of German Military. the only symbols recognized as representative of the Nazi party are the Iron Eagle, the Swastika, and the symbol of the Waffen SS. the rest are symbols of Germany. calm down.

[DE]Momaw Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 After looking at the wiki article that talks about the history of German heraldry and gives several examples of usage that pre-date the Nazi party, I am completely not bothered by this at all.

Marthrym Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) People are stupid in general. If something was used by Nazis, that doesnt mean that symbol is bad. Swastika is old Roman symbol, and inverted Swastika is good luck charm in Asia culture. Just because something is used by some evil empire in history, doesnt automatically means that symbol is bad by itself. It is up to people and what that symbol associates them with. ^THIS. SO MUCH THIS. It baffles me how stupid people can be when it comes to symbology. The Swastika is the PERFECT example. It was PERVERTED by the nazis. Now if you use it you're basically a neo-nazi. Because people have no idea what they're talking about most of the time and won't look further than their noses. It's this ignorance/stupidity that allows movements like the neo-nazis to thrive in some regions. They use fear of what's alien to control opinion. And the masses are only as smart as the dumbest element of the group... Edited July 7, 2014 by Marthrym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trajhenkhetlive Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) About the only thing this proves is that some Corpus symbols are taken from old German runes. Clearly its a Wolfsangel since the line through the "N" is not bent. It's not uncommon for nations to take runes as a symbol of their group or nation particularly from ancient German or Viking civilizations since it was believed that runes had power. Basically displaying a rune is sort of the same deal as having a lucky rabbits foot (in the case of runes, a good portion were believed to bestow more or different things then luck, such as great strength or victory in battle, or unification.). Wikipedia has a solid article for anyone interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes Edited July 7, 2014 by Trajhenkhetlive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
