Helghast Insignia/Symbol
 

Since I was introduced into Paintballing in 2005 i`ve not only thought about customization of my gun, but the gear as well. I have one in the works that I`m going to see if I can build.

Most of you here know of or about Killzone and events that depict the game. My question...

The Helghast Insignia as pictured is very similar to the Nazi Swastika. Same colors, Strong Lines etc....

If I were to brand this on my arm would those of you feel upset? I`d rather not show up to a field with a Patch and have a bunch of angry Airsofter's give me flak.

Input?

honestly even if you were to show up wearing a swastika it would not bother me in the least... now if you showed up to a game wearing anything acting like a neo-nazi asshat then I think that would piss me off

Lol I'd lol more than anything, I doubt anyone would be upset tho

Lol You`ll LOL @ Me? well I am known to make people laugh!:p

lol Understandable, but there are others who wouldn't take it as lightly as you!

I don't see how that is "very Similar" to the Swastika... so symbols using read back and white are taboo? since when?

Although I expect the symbol is copyright protected

Well no, but it can give some people the idea of the Swastika, even the game makes you to remember the Nazi`s.

I generally find the video game player mentality funny, nothing personal or anything hehe

y'all remember that guy that said he was an awesome gamer and that that was why he thought he would rape on the field even though he never actually played airsoft before?

You didn't know that I was a Nazi?

hahaha I dont have that mentality that just because i play FPS games means i`ll automatically be good at shoosting on the field...though I have been paintballing so we`ll see how airsoft compares.

The Trinidad and Tobago flag is not representative of Nazis!!! LOL! I'm from Trinidad too!!

No way, that makes 3 of us, Chronic is also a Trini, but es never played tho as far as I know.

Which part u from man? I'm from Diego Martin :)

Born here in Toronto, most of my fam is scattered, but lived my first 3 years in San Fernando. My dad resides in Port of Spain and my cousins are in Diego Martin!

Kool man, hope to see u on the field some day then :)

wait, you mean when I play airsoft i'm not playing CoD in real life? but... that's why i bought that ghost mask! i love pwning n00bs!

on topic... symbol is ok.

we have a guy out here who has built a ww2 motorcycle with a side car and has the Eagle on it, he comes out in a full WW2 nazi officer outfit complete with swastikas. No one gets offended.

Now if he were to say wear this and drive his motorcycle to the jewish temple and sat outside yelling "JUDEN JUDEN!" ... well than we might have an issue with it.


On a side note the swastika actually has a noble meaning, unfortunately hitler associated with his Kampf.

get a helghast mask that would be sick

Pretty sure some Buddhists would take offense...

Thanks for picture, ShelledPants, now I know whom to blame for Holocaust.

Yeah man, you too! I'll be at flagraiders on the 29th. Sporting a British Flag, soon ill have a Trini one and the helghan symbol lol.


Lol I've seen the bandanas for sale here for like 5bucks. I'm guessing its a big fad now eh?

Thanks for the feedback

That thought has gone through my head several times. All I need is a gas mask, some blood orange goggles and a helmet!

Oh snap I totally forgot about that!!!

Look at this insignia!

It's "Y"!

YOGURT! I HATE Yogurt!....even with strawberries....

wow thats sick i wish i had a vehical to match my uniform ahaha,

You know the swastika on the nazi-germany flag is a reverse of the one shown here?

Bastardization of symbols is common.

Hindus use it too, I remember going to a Diwali or Phagwa (can't remember which) festival as a child and there were some of them swastikas made up of lights and me asking my mom if these people were the baddies from the ww2 movies

I don't see how the symbol in the OP has any similarity to a swastika?

So its agreed neither real WW2 wearing Nazi officer uniforms are not offensive to anyone playing! Great! Now to find a place that will customize badges!
