The “Bro visited his friend” meme template. In panel one, a character says “hi GOG any new deals tod-” and another character, labeled with the GOG.com logo, replies with the screenshot of a mail header titled “Slavic adventures 𖥞 ꥟ ϟϟ”. In the second panel, the first character looks at the second one with a worried look on their face.

    The Sowilo rune is part of my cultural and historical heritage. As a Pole, I am fully aware of both its history and the sensitivities surrounding it. Its use in this promotion was intended solely as a reference to the sun, which is central to the game being promoted.

    I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime.

    then why post it? soviet-hmm

    At the same time, I do not believe that symbols with a history spanning more than a thousand years should be defined solely by their misuse in the modern history.

    No, no their history doesn’t span a thousand years, they got used, then forgotten, became a historical artifact and were revivded over a thousand years later by a certain political movement.

    It was a reference to the historical symbol of the sun, nothing more.

    yeah yeah and the wolfsangel just means “national identity” it just kinda looks like a nazi symbol nothing sus going on there
