Al crear una gran cantidad de ilustraciones para juegos, a veces imágenes cuestionables se escabullen y parece que Call of Duty: Warzone es el último juego que incluye un mensaje que podría no haber querido. Un Redditor ha visto un símbolo en el juego que se parece sospechosamente a un símbolo neonazi real que lleva el Batallón Azov de la guardia nacional ucraniana.
Informado por PC Gamer , pero visto originalmente en esta publicación de Reddit , un símbolo utilizado en el Chimera Pack en Warzone está estrechamente asociado con grupos de extrema derecha. El emblema cosmético que puedes comprar tiene un fondo morado y tres líneas diagonales distintas con una línea central que las intercepta. Este símbolo es también el logotipo del Batallón Azov, un regimiento nacionalista de extrema derecha de la guardia nacional de Ucrania y se ha visto en otros lugares, como en Chile, en protestas de extrema derecha.
This symbol is a modern interpretation of the Wolfsangel which originally looked more like a hook during Nazi Germany. Traditionally a runic symbol, it was adopted by the Nazis as part of the divisional insignia of several Waffen-SS unites. The most notorious of which was the 2nd SS 'Das Reich' Panzer Division.
Although the colours on the Warzone version of the emblem are inverted from the real logo, the likeness is undeniable. According to the original poster on Reddit, there are some far-right individuals already considering this imagery to be a dogwhistle which should worry Activision. The screenshot the original poster uses shows a YouTube comment with Nazi references identifying the emblem as part of the Azov Battalion.
Interestingly, as the logo is Ukrainian associated, it should be noted that of the Chimera squad, the Ukrainian operator (Yegor) is the only one who doesn't have the logo on his uniform.
As PC Gamer notes, Destiny 2 had an occurrence not dissimilar to this problem when they included Gauntlets which had a striking resemblance to an alt-right flag. Bungie removed the item immediately and said it was an accident.
Activision, by extension, may decide to remove the symbol or alter it so it's no longer closely associated with a real far-right organisation. It's possible that when researching symbols that might be associated with Chimera, the symbol came up without the history being researched.
