Sorry need an explanation as to why the new patriot bear pet honoring July 4h in America is wearing all black and holding a pennant in each hand and not an American flag? Is this is bad joke? If you don’t want to honor America then don’t, remove this insult or you’ll never see me here again. I guess this is funny if you don’t live here. Well let me help you, it’s not, it’s highly insulting. ---

The bear looks to be Lincolnesque….given the facial hair, and Abe was fairly well known for his black attire. Just my guess. ---

Yeah to me it resembles Lincoln a bit. Also it has red, white, blue if you notice… ---

Firstly, I’m not an American. However, I did log in today with be the sole purpose of asking if this “Patriot Bear” was deliberately illustrated so weirdly. As for that supposing to be Lincoln, where’s the white shirt and bow tie so usually associated with his stereotypical image? I don’t think it’s too much of stretch to think this is a deliberate insult. ---

Complaining about this is so embarrassing. Yes, I am an American. It’s clearly an Abe Lincoln bear and he’s holding (or wearing) red, white, and blue. Find something real to be upset about. ---

.. didn’t think I’d be jumping into a thread like this today He is just a little teddy bear, he has two pennants and a sash on his hat that are red, white and blue, and his little Lincoln style beard. American themes, but is not blatantly obvious. No one is spending time to design art, to specifically “attack” anyone. Our largest player base is American, our publishers are mostly based in America etc. ---

Good job your not making a bear for every invention or war we won in the UK. Or you’d be making a new bear every week . Gotta love the Americans 🤣 ---

nicely put! sooooo many things to talk about, this isn’t one of them. (American here as well) ---

Not American either, but I thought it was super obvious it was Lincoln. Weird looking, sure, but obvious. And I spotted the red, white and blue as well. Would have made more sense to have a tiny american flag, since lots of countries have those colours on their flag, but it was probably easier the way it is. No reason to think this was insulting, bit I suggest in future the devs could celebrate other countries on 4th of July, instead. I presume you’d prefer they keep celebrating your independence day, and not all the many other countries independence days, on that date? Are you gonna complain about the skulls being american-ised, too? Assume they’re meant to be a dead/undead Uncle Sam. Seems like a crazy complaint over nothing. ---

Going to close this thread now, as I do not see it leading to anything constructive going forward and to prevent it from potentially escalating. ---
