Red Cross video game ban: argument not unchallengeable
The Red Cross justifies the ban with arguments that are perfectly understandable. However, the organization’s statement is not unchallengeable, because with healing or health, the Red Cross conveys values in video games that it also carries in real life. Ultimately, the use in games should even contribute a little to the fact that the symbol is also correctly interpreted in reality.
Since the red cross is protected as a symbol, it is ultimately up to the organization for which purposes it releases it and for which not. Whether she’s doing herself a favor is another question. If you ever think about programming a video game, you should definitely think of a different symbol for healing.
