But how did it not get deleted IN BETWEEN THEN AND NOW? You say there were good admins BACK THEN. Which means this has been up throughout the reign of BAD ADMINS. How did it not get deleted?
Just to be clear - the most recent pic that most people might find offensive is nearly 6 yrs old. At that time, the use of swastikas in a war game (especially one that had heavy usage of WWII maps) was not considered offensive, provided it was game related, and not intentionally used to offend or troll. This thread was created to display AW art, so it's a bit of a grey area... but the 'art' in question is on topic, and more importantly, it wasn't reported. At that time, the community may have had a higher tolerance, and while it is clear the "artist" was being provocative, he was aware that his contribution was avant garde (he compares his 'art' with the 'dicks' images) so it would be considered sufficiently respectful and humourous for the time.
Hopefully that clarifies the issue so you can end the discussion and get the thread back on track by creating some art of your own ♥
