I’m all for it, but what kicked it off?
Earlier this week a user posted “kill Nazis” and got a warning from Imgur saying that imgur is an inclusive platform, welcome to everyone. (which apparently includes Nazis?)
That’s what kicked this off (again).There was already some upset feelings in the community because at the beginning of the week one of the “Elbow Deep In A” accounts got suspended over a “Gone Mild” drawing of a goblin girl. So it didn’t take much for the community to be really upset with “business daddy”

Where nazis are welcome, no one else is.
I recently got something similar on reddit. I don’t remeber the exact quote, but “I can’t believe these people haven’t been murdered yet” is apparently a credible death threat now.
I got a 24 hour ban for saying Danielle Smith should stand on her head so the blood will rush to get brain and she could have a coherent thought. “Promoting Violence”
I got a 72 hour ban for responding to someone who said Vance will never be US President. I said he would when Trump had the inevitable coronary from eating too many cheeseburgers. “Promoting violence”
Perma-ban for responding to a story about Kristi Noem telling Canada how to run border security with saying she should keep her cunt ass on her side of the border. “Inciting violence”.
Reddit WANTS to be a right wing echo chamber and looks for excuses to ban people who don’t agree with that world view.
The top right picture needs “HH” added to it. It’s what people use on license plates. Used to be banned in Germany, but I saw one yesterday so I think My Little Nazi has unbanned it.
It’s the city-code for Hamburg “Hansestadt Hamburg -> HH”.
Wait, how is “not equal to” a Nazi symbol?
It is a symbol used to intend that races are not equal.
Fun fact: that’s why most computer programming languages use “!=” instead of “≠”
I thought it had more to do with the fact that there isn’t a ≠ key on most people’s keyboards.
Well, that’s because they removed it after WW2. The original IBM keyboard had this, and other Nazi symbolism. (IBM collaborated with the Nazis, if you weren’t aware)
Another fun fact: the Windows logo today is where the swastika used to be. If you look closely, you can see how the swastika’s influence on Microsoft’s iconic logo persists to this very day
You’re just improvising bullshit now…
To be fair, there is a book called IBM and the Holocaust, and there is one instance of a typewriter with a special swastika key. It’s at the far right, topmost row. Typewriters like that, however, were made under “very rare circumstances”, according to this piece on Slate, which also happens to have photos of several German typewriters of the time.
As for the Windows thing, that’s nutty bullshit
