Hello community,

 

I am very conflicted with my future project, alongside some other easier projects. I have started to "work" on "The Man in The High Castle" police peds, as they interest me alot. If you do not know, TMITHC is a show that features a dystopian future, where the Axis powers won WWII. They are basically the goverments of portions of the USA. I am planning to make peds for both major sides: Japanese... and Nazis. Before you call me out as a racist, let me explain. I love the show so far. I also feel that the show's aspects should be ported to Gta, as it would add a new feel to the game itself. I am not very concerned of the Japanese peds, as they look normal. On the other hand, the Nazi peds... the very thing should be very, very obvious. You see... the Nazi peds have a big... swastika on their arm... yea.... I can remove the Nazi arm band but it, in my humble opinion, gets rid of the feel of the show. I don't know what I should do here. Should I continue with the project or should I just quit? 

 

Thanks

Are you for real?! Go on, is a cool idea. It's science fiction, I don't think Philip K. Dick was nazi at all. Neither Rockstar studio is a bunch of criminals, I guess.

I agree that it is a cool idea but I am just deciding so far. I did start slightly with the edit of belt textures but I don't really know. Maybe people will find the swastika offensive? After all, many people do dislike the swastika. Removing the swastika would be a bad taste too as it ruins every aspect of a land occupied by the Nazi. I just feel a bit weird even posting on the Nazis.  Seriously. Just look at this image(Uniforms should be based off of the pictures online). Just don't want to look like a racist...

I'm also quite concerned about the races of the officers. You see... they are Nazis... and in the show, I have seen only Japanese officers, as in race, in the Japanese law enforcement of the show and well... Nazi officers to be all white... The problem lies with the race. Would I be a racist for editing the model to be all white, as it confines to the book or should I just ignore it and just well... add it? The book may be different and if the book says that different races are allowed, then I would be glad to just keep the vanilla cop head models... and add more. 

 

please don't ban me. I'm just having a chat... just close the topic should you admins feel offended or feel that this topic has not followed the guidelines. 

No. This is something you probably shouldn't post. Considering this site is large, We have a wide variety of people here. Which having peds with swastikas it will offend them. If you wish to create them, then create them.. although i'd suggest you don't post them (atleast not on here) 

What if I just remove all of the Nazi symbols? Would that be fine? They would be filled with other related but not offensive themes.

That maybe fine. Although i'd suggest you take photos and show Staff before you upload it.

I do wonder, are the uniforms themselves offensive? If you search up "The man in The High Castle police" you can see it.

it's the use of the swastika and that they're Nazis that is offensive. When it comes to that stuff we tend to not allow it on our site because of the fallout it causes, and that it will be offensive to users.  Which is why i said if you're going to create it then send staff pictures before you upload it so we can tell you if it's ok or not. 

That was not what I suggested. I mean the actual uniform without the Nazi patches.  The clothes without the Nazi stuff.
