Shiba Inu Bans User for Using Hitler’s Swastika Symbol in Metaverse

The Shiba Inu team has barred an individual for propagating hate in its newly launched metaverse. The user’s wallet address has been added to the network’s blacklist for drawing a Swastika symbol in the Shiba Inu Metaverse. The incident happened on April 20, which is observed as the birthday of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler who is responsible for two of world’s greatest tragedies — the World War II and the Holocaust — that lead to the death of millions in the West. Hitler used a slightly tilted representation of the Swastika as his sigil.

The symbol was eventually erased from SHIB’s virtual world following which, the developers addressed the happenings on Twitter.

“SHIB: The Metaverse will place the wallet identifying the [hate symbol] violation on a blacklist, meaning it will never be able to participate in any and all areas of the platform,” a statement by Shiba Inu said.

A link to the guidelines page of SHIB’s metaverse land has also been posted on Twitter.

The meme coin community has also promised financial rewards to those choosing to purchase lands in its metaverse.

The strict reaction on this Swastika-incident from the side of SHIB developers has however, sent a strong message to its community members.
