District Miniature's Stance Against Hate
Dear Hobbyists,
District Miniatures (DM) is dedicated to bringing the highest quality decals ranging from fictional to historical emblems, numbers, flags, and more. Some of our decals include hate symbols which can cause harm to our customers and those viewing our decals on models. Our intention at DM is to provide accurate decals which may sometimes include these hate symbols. DM does not support these hate symbols, what they represent, and how they are used to disenfranchise and marginalize people world-wide. We provide these decals as a way of historically representing groups and armies through our modeling and wargaming hobbies. Bad actors that use our decals in a way to promote hate will not be tolerated and will be prevented from ordering from our web site to the best of our ability. DM supports everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, country of origin, and preferences. We celebrate our customers and our hobby and hope our customers understand our stance against hate. Many of our fellow hobbyists have suffered from oppression and hate, making these symbols very personal to them. We are open and willing to work with both US and foreign law enforcement to mitigate and prevent the spread of hate using our products. Please treat everyone with respect and dignity and approach our hobby with sensitivity.
