I dunno man, I haven’t noticed the nazi SS thing until it blew up on lemmy. I just kinda glazed over the title, figured the symbols had smth to do with a new advertised game and into the bin it went. My money’s on an edgy/nazi employee or an attempt at a joke in very poor taste.

In a way, I can understand not being familiar with the black sun, but the SS bolts is really fucking well known

That’s wild to me, this is something that was covered in my American history class. Not nazi symbology specifically, but we were shown plenty of images that featured the SS bolts. They’re also commonplace in movies and media set then.

I’m not from the US, but yes, I recognize the symbols. It’s just that I don’t put too much stock in an marketing email. Maybe I’m completely desensitized due to all the discount spam we get, but it could just as well have been the announcement of a new wolfenstein game or smth ( not sure what’s in it, haven’t read it ).

Oh sorry I misunderstood, I thought you meant you didn’t recognize the symbols.
I totally get skimming a marketing email and missing something in the subject line.

I don’t know how you can give them any benefit of the doubt when they combined the dog whistle symbols with the actual SS symbols.

Oh, lemme be clear, I don’t. Especially together, it’s absurd to claim ignorance.
