are people really going to hate on runes?!
for me swastika and SS lightning are something I would never promote and there is no need for anyone but racists to use that shit but dont shit on history of whole nation just because some fucking nazi put that on their shit.
I mean they had skulls on their shit so lets ban that.
I'm personally not hating on Runes. I think it's a bummer with the dual meaning and nazis fucking over the nicer aspect.
That being sad, if something is associated with Nazi/White Supremacist culture, I don't want to associate with that. It's silly to. I don't care if some people will be smart enough to maybe think I'm not a nazi because they know enough about ancient runes. Unfortunately I act on the assumption that the person recognizing this simple most likely associates it with nazism. A bummer, but there are plenty of other nice lines and different shapes of lines that won't get me associated with nazi culture.
If it's not an intentional racist symbol, it's still an unintentional one depending on the context. Not something I'll get mixed up in. I'm talking specifically about the rune shit. Fuck NHS at this point for all the other casually intolerant subtleties in their brand, (ie support of this shop, whatever). Definitely fuck this shop and the people that run it.
