      Ahhhh, until I looked it up just now, I wouldn’t have seen that tattoo on a wall of flash and connect it to the ss.

      Hell, I wouldn’t have made the connection without something more at all. The ss pin isn’t what stuck in my memory, it was the general purpose nazi eagle that stuck in my mind because skull and crossbones imagery is just so damn widespread that that specific version just doesn’t seem any different from any of the others I’ve seen.

      Not everyone is as terminally online as you. Not everyone hyperfixates on nazis.

      The overwhelming majority, the average person, only recognizes “swastika = bad”. Thats it. And their whole understanding around is “swastika = nazi = hitler = holocaust = bad” if youre lucky to get that far.

      You really think the Drake/KatyPerry/NickiMinage type fan crowd is educating themselves into the military structure and symbolism of the 3rd Reich? These people dont even know what the SS is.

      That is not even close to the second most famous symbol and the vast majority of people would not know it was a Nazi symbol.

      You can argue that’s an education issue if you want, but it’s simply not one most people would recognize.
