I never understood this one. Why is the Red Cross so annoyed about videogames depicting the red cross to mean health?
I think they were worried about their branding being associated with violence. In the 90s, there was a ton of anti-video game propaganda branding it as violent garbage that was corrupting our children.
Ironically, video games are very good at conditioning human responses to iconography. So despite the Red Cross’ hostility, video games still succeeded in conditioning a lot of people to instantly associate plus signs (any color) with health.
i think it has to do with trademarking law
if enough people use is to mean other stuff they can lose their trademarkedit: i looked it up and its called genericize
There never was a rules-based order. There was just America, the imperialist empire that it is. There are no norms anymore. It’s just bitches running wild… And it kind of always was like this, really. It’s just… the temperature is rising, and the events are accelerating. America, the Supreme Karen, is flailing about making a scene. She never worked on herself. And so all she can do is slap, bite, and scratch. As she falls into the abyss of her own self-awareness and Self-Hatred. So entering the stage is the kazoo man playing the national anthem trailing off, losing interest. You can hear the coughing in the audience and the crickets chirping as people are exiting out the back. A limp dick, a turd left in the bowl you flush and its legacy is the streak that is left. USAID is the CIA slush fund and charity is tyranny. A mechanism of colonizers. The world is a capitalist hellhole. War is used as a bludgeon to beat down the working class. These rich bitches might have an argument or two amongst themselves, but they understand their place in the hierarchy. They will join forces to get you to work for nothing. They all in on it. It is your kids not mine. So, I’m only gonna live so long, so it is what it is. Meh… okey dokey in the hocus pokey and you turn yourself around and that’s what it’s all about. AOC and Bernie Scamturdz is gonna save us all! hahahhahahhaha. Oh Nancy! Oh Nancy! Where are you Nancy?

You only need look away for the briefest moment and suddenly there is a fresh infestation of new copy pasta. Marvelous.
