Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.
Further information on the bill itself can be found at the Free Speech Coalition: https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2112/

MemberFor thousands of years, it was and still is a symbol related to several eastern religions. Its usage by the Nazis doesn't change that.

Hermlove150
MemberHuh. Guess you do learn something new everyday. It's quite sad how a single group of people can completely change the meaning of a symbol like that.
BlueDingo
MemberSame goes with salutes. The nazi salute is a modified roman salute and looks very similar to the bellamy salute that was used by americans decades before the nazis used theirs. Now performing a roman or bellamy salute in public will get you labeled as a nazi by people who can't tell the difference.
vex714
PrivilegedNazis and their relation to vampire attacks aside, it was also a prominent symbol on Navajo rugs. Studied Native American culture in college and I remember like 75% of the class go all *gasp* when they saw the swastika
Yes, it was associated with the Reich. Those with common sense and knowledge shouldn't easily get triggered.
I can drone on with my inept opinions, but this isn't the place for it. The fact is, people are going to like it or dislike it. It's an image, and that's what it is, just an image.

MemberYea but the problem with that "argument" is, you're describing this , but the image shows this . The first is the Hindu swastika, which actually IS a sign of peace. The one in the image is The Third Reich Flag, which is the flag of genocide. A knife was originally used to cut food. That doesn't mean I can stab someone and not get in trouble.
user 214654
MemberYou're trying to tell the furry community, home of being the most tolerant of these fetishism's to lighten up? As one person?
But-- but, why though?
Chance Wallace
MemberThe Nazi swastika is Counter-clockwise, while the Hindu swastika is clockwise. Furthermore, when the swastika is in a diamond-shape rather than a square-shape—that is, its base is tilted so the lowest point is its angle—and transposed against a red flag with a white, circular center, we can only assume that it is a swastika. People were not downvoting this symbol because they dislike the Hindu swastika, but because they are sensitive to joking about genocidal ideologies.
Furthermore, Tom Nook clearly has an “SS” on his apron, which reinforces the nazism aspect of this piece.
Please don’t be pretentious and call people out for disliking an entire religion just because the origin of the Nazi Swastika came from Hinduism. There are realistically no parallels between nazism and Hinduism, so you can’t blame anyone for not knowing the origin of the Nazi swastika and thus conceptualizing it as the only usage of the swastika.
tfkcex
Membersometimes the "weird" arts has the best comments... it was a good read
skelitor120
MemberExcept nothing about this image is that. It's literally an angry Tom Nook holding a Nazi Flag. There is nothing that can even slightly be construed as a religious usage of this symbol. If an entire generation of people started using the goddamn letter "A" on a green flag to genocide an entire race/religion of people, then we'd start to identify the letter A with genocide as well, ESPECIALLY WHEN PUT ON A GREEN FLAG.
Maybe if you show me some fucking Hindu artwork with a Swaztika in it I would say "Neat art". Until then, you can't convince me that the black-clad racists are just really appreciative of eastern religion..

MemberAnd what's your point? This is the NAZI flag, and that is very obvious. It is not being used in a religious manner, it is being used, in this picture, to represent the Nazi party. The telltale signs are red background, white circle, and a tilted swastika with harsh lines and angles

MemberNot that you're wrong or anything or that the person you replied to was wrong, but people these days are just so aloof that the instant they see anything related to the Nazis, their heads explode.
Some people need things like this to be explicitly pointed out to them.
Blazekick96
MemberSo is the sickle and hammer, but nobody bats an eye to that, and they even praise it too. Communism has killed well over 4 times as many people as Nazism has, but nobody cares just because it wasn't done with discrimination. Genocide is ok as long as you don't discriminate who you kill I guess.
Blazekick96
MemberOnly to sensitive and ignorant Americans and Europeans who have never really used the symbol beforehand anyways. Literally almost nobody outside of America/Europe cares that it was used by Nazis. A lot of Japanese teens use it all the time in selfies, calling it the "Manji", and a lot of them are completely unaware that it was ever used in WW2 (look it up on youtube, "What do the japanese think of the swastika?". Most of them have never even seen the red white and black swastika), and would likely still use it after learning about its use in WW2, because they're not sensitive snowflakes. Hindus still use it religiously to this day. Not everybody is a sensitive snowflake and the world does not revolve around America. Tell any non-American Hindu that they are supporting Nazism and they'll likely respond "What's a Nazi?"
Imaderule34
MemberOf course. Forgot that if anyone points out a clear example of racism/nazi party they are automatically a sensitive snowflake.
we'll just pretend this raccon is apart of the hindu crowd. Racism and nazi's don't exist after all.

MemberNice little piece of comedy to some extent given the way it is done I think it was either done for comedic effect or simply to start arguments it doesn't appear to be a propaganda post to me like some may claim. It just seems like a joke to me and one I heard often people I have seen often compare tom nook to a communist or nazi. And in response to the whole issue in the comments, The nazi flag was inspired by the manji a symbol in Buddhism meaning harmony it was basically roated to make the symbol of the nazi party if I remember correctly the reasoning was basically they had the goal of unifying those they deemed acceptable and thereby in their logic create harmony. It was still a horrible thing but I don't see why we need an argument over this in any thread with the symbol on it.

MemberAll of the trolls in the comments. You’re reaching by comparing this to Hindu and eastern religious culture. The cultural symbol doesn’t require THE SAME COLOR SCHEME AND DESIGN AS THE NAZI COUNTER-PART.
He is also wearing an SS symbol along his cloth. You can’t spin this as “oops people hating on religious symbols :)))”
This is obviously intended to be problematic and point towards Nazi-ism.
Also people trying to make free speech arguments.......Hate speech isn’t free speech you troglodytes. You don’t have the right to spread hate or violence whenever or wherever you want.

BlockedNah. You might disagree with it, but hate speech is free speech. You can argue there ought to be social consequences, and I would agree, but if people don't have the right to say hateful things then that's not true freedom of speech. There is an imposed limit to speech.
Mind you I'm not agreeing with any hate speech, but I will defend the right of hateful people to say hateful things, because if you can take their freedom to say what they want away there's nothing stopping the powers that be from taking that same right away from you, me, or anyone. Yes hate speech is distasteful, but at the end of the day it's words, and words only have as much power as the one reading/hearing them give them.
Mind you this doesn't extend to acts of violence. You're making the common mistake of conflating hateful words with hateful acts. Words cannot lynch a black man. They cannot throw a firebomb into a synagogue. They can't beat a gay teenager to death. Words can't kill. They can drive people to do these things, yes, but that's why we have legal consequences. I would argue that people that are radicalized by hateful ideas are susceptible to those ideas to begin with. If someone is foolish enough do such things they surely deserve to be punished. But I've said all I care too on the subject at this point.
I'm here to jerk off to furry woman and/or appreciate good artwork, not debate ethics. As a free speech purist I was compelled to throw my hat into the ring, and I believe I have done just that.
Oh, but if I may add one thing, to both you and everyone clutching their pearls these day: learn to recognize jokes. It may be presumptuous, but a lot of those "religious symbol" comments seem structured more like jokes than earnest arguments. My favorite one was the Buddhist Kiss fan comment, it made me chortle.

MemberTechnically speaking the symbol used by Buddhists and other religions is called a manji and it is slightly different. The swastika is drawn at a 45° angle while the manji is drawn parallel. Additionally a swastika is usually displayed against a white and red background though it is not necessary.
