literally my first comment said context matters. if you see an image with hate speech maybe its the speech that you should pay attention to.
is English your first language because you either don't understand what I'm saying or you are too ignorant to understand.
that's literally what i said. the context around the symbol is what is important. no one in south west asia sees a swastika and think Nazis because it's part of the religious culture. just as no one sees Pepe and thinks nazis because no one normal participated in that shit subculture of 4chan except Nazis.
Let's actually look at what happened with Pepe, he was created by an artist then appropriated by Nazis. The artist then posted that he was outraged and disappointed that it was taken over by Nazis. people listened and were also outraged and did everything to normalize and take it back from the Nazis, because again it wasn't theirs to take in the first place. now you imagine the 12 year old posting it are nazis when they have no context of any of the events your talking about. go touch grass, your brain is rotting.
We should turn their name into an extreme political symbol symbol on the opposite side of their political spectrum. That way they'll know that they're also evil because they use that evil symbol.
right? imagine some one came for Calvin and Hobbes. don't come for my cartoons, the one pure thing in this world
