!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I’m willing to bet that email was helped out by AI.
What I suspect happened was they had AI write the email, AI is notoriously emoji happy, and the AI saw Slavic mysticism stuff and entered into a nazi rhetoric informed mode and added those Unicode characters.
LLMs are trained on the internet, that includes the racist nazi parts.
And of course nobody bothered looking it over.
It's not the first time they used AI for their marketing either. They've been caught before.
The problem with this defence is that they did notice it because they removed it from the German version of the email, they said as such.
I didn’t say it was a defence.
It’s sheer incompetence. Just speculating into how the fuck this happened at all.
Maybe because AI said it was safer to remove them? It's not a great defense but basically every company has gone ape shit over AI now. I actually am being actively pushed to use it at work even though I don't want to.
