For crying out loud Bungie! Come on. 

"Kek" is basically "lol" on World of Warcraft. Unfortunately, white supremacy groups jacked it, so it's not the best thing anymore.

Earlier in the week, it was discovered that piece of armor in Destiny 2 displayed a "Kekistan" design, and now everyone is in an uproar. 

What the hell, Bungie? Explain yourself!


Oh. They did. 

"Earlier this week, we were made aware that a graphical element on one of Destiny 2’s armor pieces bore close resemblance to an internet meme that has been subsequently repurposed to represent hate and intolerance. This was completely unintentional. As an immediate response, we extended our planned maintenance window to remove the element from the armor piece itself, and will be following up next week with another patch to remove the same element from the UI icon and preview screens, scrubbing it from the game altogether."

They also had a follow up tweet saying pretty much the same thing, and adding that they renounce hate.

As should we all.
