Question Iconography on google image

[Imperial States America]

If a google image I want to use for an F&NI thread has a small swatzika and a second one that is partially obscured would that be allowed?

This is more of a moderation question than technical. The short answer, though, is it depends.

Long answer: Context is key. You can often get away with in when posting in a roleplay, but if its purpose is malicious - meant to flame/troll/get a rise out of someone - then that's verboten. Use your better judgement.

It is strictly for role play as it summarizes what my nation is which is a version of the CSA mixed in with sexism i.e. (women must obey their husbands) type of stuff.

I'm not sure why a sexist CSA requires any swastikas of any kind.

Most of the more interesting counter-factual / alternate history fictions I've read of the "What If the South Won the Civil War" variety has the South actually hating Nazis and supporting Zionism, mainly due to those alt-histories relying on Benjamin Judah being successful at convincing Britain and France to ally with the South against the North, and evangelical Christian eschatological reasons. Other CSA alt-histories condemn the Nazis for genociding away a potential slave market...

Anyway, not meaning to tread on mod stuff, but just to frown on the facile connection between slavers and Nazis, which are despicable for two different reasons and not really seeing a way for the two to be reconciled to each other outside the minds of some really marginal logic defenestrating white nationalists.

I don't see why you need the swastikas, but... Swastikas in forum posts are usually OK. The rules are stricter for flags, banners, and factbooks. Threads that look like they are just an excuse to post hate speech with a thin veneer of IC are considered trolling.

Take it to NSG if you want to debate whether the Southern Confederacy would have supported Hitler.

Well it's no time so much as my nation using swatzikas is just that I'm using the image which happens to have them on their. Just to clear up confusion this is the picture I'm referring to we'll sort of

[Katganistan]

Seriously, let's abstain from the titillating women as objects pictures, shall we?

And again, what has that to do with a sexist CSA that abuses women? I won't even go into the reasons you actually want to play your nation that way.

I know it's weird how I set my nation up, I'm a really weird guy. but I just want to know if the image is or isn't against site rules that's all.

Wow, okay. I guess I should have TG'ed my opinion or kept it to myself. As this was a question thread, not a tattle tale report bad behavior thread, I request a second opinion on my idle banter.

It was clearly a question to the moderators, not a question for general consumption. The warning was appropriate. Appeal denied.
