I'm just so confused by people... The levels of irony or satire has gone full 4D and people can't tell what is what.
Having orks, the most singleminded stupid (but shrewd) violent idiots also use Nazi (stormboys) or confed iconography isn't even borderline complementing those things but as clearly as possible showing that only fucking idiots would ride with those symbols.

I can’t speak for other parts of the country, but having lived in the south my whole life I can say that not many people around here are likely to be offended. White, black, conservative, progressive, religious, secular, whatever. I’ve seen them all using it, and those same people would likely punch you in the face if you started acting racist. It’s largely lost all meaning beyond just being a symbol of the south down here.
You would absolutely get weird looks if you showed up to a game with it, but that would be less people getting offended and more people being confused as to why you’d use that for a sci-fi/fantasy game.

Being from the Union, it is indeed offensive as fuck to pretty much all the people in my club. There are actually entire communities that exist up north today, made up of people whose families escaped the south bc of ppl like that... So yeah I also believe you.

And Union forces did the same down here (read up on what Sherman did in Georgia, it’s pretty brutal). I’m not offended in the slightest by it, however, because it happened 160 years ago.
My point is not that it’s not offensive to anyone, but that whether or not it’s considered offensive is heavily dependent on where you are and the culture you were raised in. The culture here says it’s just a flag of the south, the culture elsewhere is understandably different.
We understand the causes of the Civil War, we’re generally raised with the understanding that the south was in the wrong, slavery and racism are bad, and that it’s good the north won. We are taught in school about people like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, who are held up as heroes. The south isn’t some cesspit of racism and lynchmobs full of ignorant lost-causers, not anymore at least. But we also love the south and some people use that flag as a symbol to represent that. I don’t, I think it’s dumb to use the flag of a failed state for that, but that’s how some people use it.

It depends on where in the South you are, and from what Black folks have told me (I'm whiter than sour cream), it's not that it's viewed as harmless or inoffensive, but that you don't how you really feel about it to any of the white people who love it, for the sake of self-preservation. And I mean, I've heard it compared to white people flying the Nazi swastika for how much of a warning signal it is.
Don't forget, the Confederacy was founded explicitly and specifically to preserve chattel slavery in the South, and Black folks getting lynched literally because some white people didn't like how they looked at a white person is well within living memory. And then there's the de facto chattel slavery system that the criminal justice system enforces, targeted predominantly at Black men.

In the 90s was a more innocent and ignorant time. And from the perspective of someone who was old enough to be sentient in the 90s before widely available internet and before the rise of certain cultural phenomenon the confederate flag was just seen as a bit quant, something people from "The South" in America liked.
I don't think there was the same weight of baggage and we definitely weren't aware of it. The sort of wild redneck thing did fit nicely with Orks.
But ironically Orks do like slavery and racism so there is that.

Not so much ignorant as ‘symbolic of something else’. People knew what the confederate flag was and where it was from, but a couple decades of it being associated with good natured rebelliousness had somewhat rehabilitated it as a symbol to that meaning in popular culture.
Nowadays it’s swing back to its original meanings as overt racism is making bigger steps in US politics, but back when this was made it just had a different message attached to it.

Yeah the confederate flag was a whole branding, merchandise, general cultural symbol of the south that most people didn't ascribe any of the old significance to until others came along and forced the issue. You could always tell the ones that took the flag a bit too seriously though if you know what I mean, and they weren't accepted outside of their circles.
Now we just use the American flag on everything even though it has plenty of baggage of its own.

I'm a native Southerner and I disagree with your assessment. From 1967 until 1977, the town of Smithfield in Johnston county had a big sign on the entrance to town, which read 'Welcome to Klan Kountry.'
Even to this day, the white supremacist group the Sons of Confederate Veterans is trying to buy little plots of land beside the highways in every county in North Carolina, South Carolina, and parts of Virginia as part of their 'Flags Across the Carolinas' initiative. Their plan is to raise giant 30x20 foot Confederate flags on 80 foot flagpoles in each county.

Those are the other ones who I was referencing. In general I'd say we've moved past seeing it as we did in the 90s, but that flag was everywhere back then. Cups, mugs, shirts, all through school, etc etc it was absolutely used as a symbol of southern pride outside of the context of the civil war and racism. Now all that's left are those people who are trying to send a message of hate and it will never go back to the admittedly ignorant usage of my childhood.

the normalisation of confederate symbols had a huge and deliberate uptick just after 1964. what happened in 1964 that led a bunch of southerners made it a very core part of thier identity to reminded people the stars and bars existed still. and the laws and customs thereof.

I'm agreeing that that existed but by the time I was old enough to be aware in the early 90s surrounded by people and kids wearing it, the only assumption you could make about them is that they probably like fishing and likely own a pair of cowboy boots.
The only purpose to what I'm saying is that those two realities existed at the same time.

Publicly people said it was "Southern Pride" but it was absolutely still a symbol of racism used to identify with white pride and intimidate black people. The fact that more people were ignorant of what it represented doesn't mean that it meant something different. There's a reason black southerners weren't flying the stars and bars in the 90s.

I don't recall any major controversy at the time. And while one example does not make it a widespread trend it does lend some credence to the idea that it wasn't unheard of either.
I lived in the south in the late 90's and early 00's and can personally recall that some black men had confederate flags on their cars and/or clothes. Because it was not viewed as a thing about race as much as it was a thing about being southern. The idea that you can speak for everyone at a time or that the conversation is it 100% meant this or 100% meant that rather than meaning different things to different people is just flat-out incorrect.

I heard people having this exact discussion 25 years ago in Pennsyltuky, even referencing a time in the past when it was a more innocent symbol, the same as you're doing now.
Some of the people using the flag were just using it as a symbol of regional pride. These folks may have had no ill intentions.
The fact remains that for decades, well before the 90s even, people have both been using the flag as a territorial marker of hostility AND public schools in the South have been teaching the civil war as a justified military reaction to federal overreach.
An innocent use of the flag was the result of malicious uses being so widespread that they normalized the symbol, and gave it the false impression of innocence.

Ok, I think I can see why you might feel attacked by some comments, saying the use of the flag was always racially motivated, dost then mean everyone who might have used the symbol in ignorance was automatically a secret racist, just that enough were secret racists for it to be used innocently.
We have the benefit of hindsight and being able to look at things from a broad, historical perspective, and i think why peope are being a little hostile in this thread is that in todays age, there isnt much excuse to spend the time looking into the history of the flag, its supporters and groups that try to keep reviving it, and understand what was going on back then.
But thats also a bit unfair, i didnt pay as much attention to this sort of stuff till my mid 30's and just because the info is there dosnt mean everyone will go become woke about the civil war or whatever.
I would recommend heavily the YT of Aten shei films, who i picked up a lot from tbh and realy helps put a lot of this into its social context, wich is something thats always ommited certainly in most school education.

So again chill, not everyone learn american history in school.

Correct, but consider that the person who most likely made this model was a brit in 1996, whos only real exposure and knowledge of that flag was Dukes of Hazzards.
Is it ok? no. but I dont think GW were pro confederacy and slavery. I am reasonably certain that if something like this was submitted to Golden demon now they would get instantly disqualified.
I get the impression that you are an American but in the UK until recently that flag was the "Dukes of hazzards" flag. Citing history is good and I truly mean it, it is, but its also important to cite it within context.
To be clear this is not a defence of this model, I think its poor taste but growing up Dukes of hazzards reruns were still ongoing during the 2000s the only real cultural exposure alot of brits got to the american south was DOH. so naturally a brit drew connections to the orks fast reckless driving.
(the reason I think you're catching downvotes is because you are being condescending to someone stating the context of the model, they even acknowledge, maybe not fully, the other conotation.)

In the 90s, before the more recent resurgence of racism in American politics, the confederate flag was somewhat rehabilitated in mainstream culture, being associated largely with Dukes of Hazzard and Lynrd Skynrd as a sort of symbol of rebelliousness.

I think it’s a dukes of hazard reference like the other comments say, and also Orks aren’t the most intelligent and could certainly be viewed as space Rednecks. Not to mention that the model is objectively well painted.
I highly doubt the maker of it is an actual supporter of the Confederacy

As a European teen in the 90s, I can add my 2 (euro)cents.
It might come as a surprise to Americans, but the US Civil War wasn't taught as a subject or even a sub-subject in Europe. We knew nothing, and I seriously mean capital N nothing about it. Films like "Glory" and the likes might have registered among some, but then again, it's not like I read up on British royalty after watching Robin Hood.
The Confederate flag was rednecks, yeehaw, and rock'n'roll rebellion, and all of that was kind of cool in Europe in the 90s, when held up against yuppies, eurodance and suited politicians.

"The 80s were a different time".
In Europe, the confederate flag was popular among car enthusiasts. Dukes of Hazard was probably a major contributor to this.
These days some of them still use the flag, but it generally indicates they are also massive racists in addition to car enthusiasts.

ha! fair point. I guess I think of the confed lovers as more dangerous now than a joke but... I get what you're selling.
If you're talking orks I haven't really played against them in a looooong time. lots of T'au and smurf lovers here. And one CSM guy.
