Right-militant symbolism encountered in the last two months playing the Battlefield franchise of online shooters:

  • One Nazi flag profile image, all colors and proportions on-model
  • A wide variety of South American users and private servers with 4-letter clan tags and logos (frequently in quartered unit patch format with skulls and lightning bolts as prominent elements) that map to local paramilitaries
  • A few Rising Sun flags and uyoku dantai slogans
  • (just now) one profile tag consisting of a large silver police shield bearing an image of a modern rifle above the large numbers “88″ in blue

Left-militant symbolism:

  • One profile image of a red flag with yellow hammer and sickle flapping in the wind

Since then (11/10/16):

  • A Kek flag
  • Several Pepe variants
  • The usual Nazi flags
  • A swastika made of right-facing handgun stamps that was actually the most novel take on the subject I’ve seen in a while
  • A LOT of Blue Lives Matter iconography - the American flag (often subdued color) with one blue stripe, the Punisher skull, often with “first responder” subculture signifiers like the numbers 5.11, etc.
