why, what does the red cross have to do with the Geneva Convention, what even is the Geneva Convention.

oh never mind you're 9 you might genuinely not know, basically it's a list of rules governments have to follow to respect basic human rights, with much of it pertaining to conduct in war, but not exclusively being about it. one being you can't use the medical red cross symbol on things that aren't medical, because you're not allowed to attack medical staff unless they are firing at you, and for some reason the Red Cross organization enforces this even upon videogames
"the red cross is for protected medical personnel" is the reasoning, something about demeaning the protection it means to place it in fictional settings or something? I dunno, it's dumb, and I'm not even sure they can technically enforce that, they try tho and it's often less of a hassle to just change it than litigate with them if you catch their attention
