maga = nazi

In Rocket League, there's a few players with the "MAGA" club tag. I just said in chat "maga = nazi" and another player said "real".

I reported them for "inappropriate club name". I've only done that once before and it was for the "KKK" club name. I play on North American servers, so KKK is seriously bad. But they rejected my claim that KKK is inappropriate. (I wonder if KKK means anything in the EU, or even to U.S.A.'s neighbors)

And they're going to reject MAGA being inappropriate, even though MAGA is literally in support of current-day white-supremacist fascism.

MAGA discriminates against queer people (especially trans people), immigrants, people with opposing political ideologies, opposes due process, opposes women's civil liberties (voting, abortion), and supports racist practices (ending dei, firing qualified black people to replace them with unqualified white people), and disregards court orders with impunity.

So here is my question: At what point is MAGA bad enough that supporting them becomes inappropriate (and disallowed) in public settings where community or company rules take precedence over free speech rights?

I can't imagine a "NAZI" club tag would be allowed, so why is "MAGA"?
