    Guess OP is pro war, or anti protester.
    I must have been skimming too much the other day because I didn't realise you have this entirely back to front and everyone else in the thread took it as the accurate version.

    It is not a symbol being used by the anti-war protestors but by the pro-war supporters.

    And even if, as you claim later, this is all some corruption by the Russians to sweep visible protests under the rug, that's certainly not how it has ever been relayed to us in the media.

    It seems that even you are correct in claiming that it began as a protest symbol, which sounds unlikely from the other uses of it (painted on Russian tanks and supported by Russian state media), that understanding has been entirely overwritten both inside and outside of Russia and the anti-war meaning didn't even get reported fleetingly. If they did all that to "take it from the protestors", they have thoroughly succeeded.

    Anyone asking for it to be removed from the game at this point is almost certainly concerned at its use as a pro-war symbol.
