Request: Dove flair be changed to neutral

Sort:
lukegk

Since the invasion of Ukraine, a 'flair' has been available to all members in the form of a dove bearing the Ukrainian colors. I would appreciate if this dove be changed to simply a neutral white dove, expressing a desire for peace worldwide: in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, etc. The politically specific nature of that flair is already available with the 'Ukrainian flag' flair. 

Thank you!

Should be changed to neutral colors. It is selective outrage.

Instead of changing it just add another one with neutral colors.

Any war of aggression can be unilaterally ended by the aggressor simply withdrawing. Calling for anything other than this supports wars of aggression, which are almost exclusively bad. Asking for the defending country to surrender to "return to peace" is simply supporting the fascist aggressor, in the case of the Ukraine war.

No response from staff so far...

Indeed, chess.com is not neutral at all.
At least the peace dove should be neutral.

We could return the dove to neutral and just make an anti-putin flair.

And in the case of the war in Ukraine, it is the so-called defending country that is decorated with fascist/Nazi symbols.

That's straight Russian propaganda. Does Azov exist? Yes. Are they bad? Yes. Does that mean it's worth invading and annexing the entire country? Absolutely not.

This is just apologia for imperialism and Putin's fascist dictatorship.

Both sides have their own truths, but meanwhile people get killed and wounded.
The peace dove should not pick a side.

Smyslov_Student

Both sides do not have their own truths. There's just the truth.

Putin is trying to invade and annex former Soviet satellites, and Ukraine is defending itself from Putin. Putin quite literally said in an interview that "He was forced to invade Ukraine in the same way Germany was forced to invade Poland" which is utter nonsense. Germany was not forced to invade Poland.

Use a bit of critical thinking and stop pretending the obviously bad side (Putin) has any merits when it's doing a bad thing.

What Putin, Zelensky,Hamas,Biden, or anyone does has nothing to do with a chess site.

Grey flags and yellow and blue birds don't save lives.

Play chess. Forget politics. CC never should have stuck their toe into this mess.
