    Almost like “slavic emoji” means something… Why does my dog keep crying?

      Given it was an advertisement for a game inspired by Slavic mythology, “Slavic emoji” means “advertisement for a game inspired by Slavic mythology” in this case. Do you think the developers of The End Of The Sun are nazis?

        The Slav’s use the same emoji’s as the rest of the world.

        I think some idiot was trying to be edgy (👀) and GOG’s PR dept obviously sucks, they put the shit out to begin.

        btw, that’s not a special slavic emoji

          It’s literally the first result when searching the phrase “Slavic emoji” on google. Hanlon’s razor applies. Most normal people are not aware of any nazi symbols other than the swastika

            Hanlon’s razor applies.

            That’s why I’m trying to be patient.

            Why do suppose that would rank so highly in a search result?

              Because most people who search for that are looking for the nazi stuff, not advertising fluff for a Slavic-inspired video game
