I don't personally agree with his picture or his views regarding the confederate flag. Outside of the views others have expressed regarding race, as an american I don't support a former enemy country and don't support traitors of america.
But this is his personal expression oof his beliefs/heritage n his personal discord profile. He doesn't display anything NSFW or explicitly racist. additionally, he isn't using the staff or main discord to propoagate his views, except in his own defense.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but David is right. This isn't a professional organization, it's a gmod server. This doesn't affect his ability to staff. And our rules don't state any restrictions on use of the confederate flag .
As long as this community continues to tolerate the use of the n-work (soft a) to some degree, there really isn't much to say regarding his profile picture.
My personal beliefs regarding the racist and traitorous origins don't outweigh his right to hold his own opinions on his heritage. He isn't using the discord platform to propoagate discussion, it's just his profile picture. It's not breaking any standards that pfps must follow, to my knowledge.
