Are some of these Nazi avatars "immoral?"

If anyone tried to do that to my dad they'd end up in the hospital with the crap beaten out of them...

Coincidentally, my dad would also be one of the doctors working on them

Yeah, I usually put up my Vorlon ship avatar (Cuz of my login name), or I put up the avatar I made with Lunarcell.

It separates the intelligent people with the good sense of humor from the reactionary politically-correct fools who wouldn't know a joke if it tried to sodomize their daddy without lube! ROFL!
AHHHH!! THE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!
That is just the most disgusting thought in the world, Ein. Thanks for giving me that mental image for the rest of the day.

ROFL! Ya welkum Kelly!

it depends on who uses them. if einhander, who is so obvious gay, and therefore obviously despises the nazis it´s clear that it´s satire.

with other people it´s different.
manji was fairily right winged, IIRC. and even though the swastika was the other way round it seemed like his intention was to use some ubercool nazi symbol but disguised it. maybe i´m wrong.

the swastika can have other meanings but after hitler fucked it up the symbol will be wasted for ages like the soil in chernobyl at least if you use it in a culture which thinks of the holocaust when it sees it. in a village in vietnam (or whereever they put them on their graves) it´s probably different because it´s got another meaning. but here it´s a nazi symbol

No, it was a Manji, an eastern symbol. Then again, he was a Deimos Anomaly sock puppet, so who knows what supposedly clever reason he had behind it.

yes, yes, yes, i know that it was some eastern symbol. what i want to say is that in our culture it still represents the nazi regime. the meaning of the swastika is so strong that it sucks everything else around it up like a black hole.

it´s like the mcdonalds M. people are automatically going to think of crapy fast food, even if you turn it around and put it on the roof of your pet shop.
