This map art was created by JackORace in 2021, it looks unfinished after it's author didn't join the server for long time.
Map ID: 5580
Public reaction
For a long time no one paid attention to this art, but after 1.5 years after it's building, at 26th February andrewSW764 found it and asked admins to remove it, because this flag belongs to zoophiles, but Anna_28 advised to contact with the creator[1] and this symbol isn't always referred to zoophiles. At soon other players, who were also indignation by the existence of this art, joined the discussion, were also expressed hate messages addressed to the author [2] [3][4], but so far no one has been able to prove that leaving this art is illegal and this map art still exists.
Some discussions
andrewSW764: Sorry to bother but this flag contains the Greek letter for >Z< which is a dog whistle symbol for zoophiles
Anna_28: Ok? Maybe try contacting the builder before an admin.
Anna_28: What makes you think that was their intention of the symbol?
Anna_28: Not every rainbow means LGBT pride for example
andrewSW764: Well no one even uses the greek alphabet anymore
Crimson_Aught: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%CE%B6
andrewSW764: Why is it on a flag then?
Anna_28: I don't know, maybe try ask the person who built it
NevadaDream: the player is gone for 2 years
Anna_28: Ok, but an attempt to contact them could at least be made
NevadaDream: I dont want to contact a zoophile
Anna_28: I know several players who leave for years and return from a single /mail
andrewSW764: Symbol was used by Zoophiles for quite a while and you know, is a good assumption
Anna_28: Maybe they just like the Greek letter Z, lots of people use symbols without knowing their meaning
NevadaDream: I dont think someone would pick Zeta randomly
Anna_28: It probably wasn't randomly, maybe they just like that symbol
NevadaDream: no thats the zoophile flag
Anna_28: Well I didn't know this, and all I was told so far was that someone saw it was the Greek letter Z which had an association with that stuff
andrewSW764: I get that you're giving them the benefit of the doubt, but the usage of this map art might be used wrongly later on by.. Awful mfers
Anna_28: Then contact the person who built it, inform them if they were unaware, and ask if it can be changed?
Conclusions
As can see, in this discussion two players unsuccessfully tried to demand censorship for this art, but as an argument why censor it, only "usage of this map art might be used wrongly later" is given. But it can be seen that the administrator, as a defense of this map art, relied on the fact that the intentions of the author are unknown, and not because its display on a live map would in no way contradict the laws of Germany (2 years of its existence on the server once again casts doubt on the violation of the law). Therefore, it is not known how the administrator would have led if the author's real goal was to really make a reference to zoophiles.
