"It has come to our attention that a gauntlet in Destiny 2 shares elements with a hate symbol," developer Bungie tweeted earlier today. "It is not intentional. We are removing it." And good on them, I say. There's just one problem: Virtually nobody in the Destiny community had any idea what Bungie was talking about. 

Once the notification went out, Reddit went to work and quickly sussed out that the Road Complex AA1 gauntlets are (probably) the offending kit. The problem would appear to lie with the back-to-back "K" lettering, separated by four horizontal lines, on the shoulder and upper arm, which—once someone points it out—bear an unmistakable similarity to the "Kekistan" flag, an idiotic "tribal marker of the alt-right," as the Southern Poverty Law Center describes it.
