Raziel said:
Well, the social and political ramifications of a white box with a red X in it have been debated by experts for centuries. These debates stretch all the way back to the Holy Roman Inquisition, when heretics were branded with this very same icon made of paint and blood. The icon symbolized an absence of God within the individual, and was identified as a universal mark of ex-communication and shame throughout the hundreds and hundreds of years that have passed since.

Since those days, however, the social significance of the mark has been blunted, instead now symbolizing the fact that an online picture or photo did not properly load. These days, a white box with a red X in it is simply an annoyance, rather than a brand of spite and shame.

Is that what you were looking for, Robo?
Really? I thought it was of a Lineage 2 female orc playing DDR
