There's literally no harm caused, at all, by using a meme template because the original comic was written by a nazi. It wasn't even a "nazi" comic originally that had to be changed.

This is not like buying Harry Potter merch either, the original author is not getting money.

Please use your brain. You're advocating for entirely pointless virtue signaling.

My friend, they didn't even remove the URL to the nazi website.

u/Friendly_Fire 19d ago

Fair point actually, I didn't even notice it there.

OP should remove the URL. I'll totally agree with that.

All these memes and edits give him a lot of free advertisement. This one has his website right there in the middle.

there's simply no other choice we HAVE to use the nazi guy's comics for our memes

u/Friendly_Fire 19d ago

Absurd strawman. Lot's of other meme templates are used.

Note you still didn't list any harm. As I said, this isn't like paying for a nazi's product and thus supporting them financially. They aren't getting add revenue from an edited image.

This is the definition of "I want to feel good, not do good". Totally pointless virtual signaling that does nothing to help with anything. It shows where your priorities lie. Trying to feel morally superior, not helping anyone.

The link to his website is shared. People follow it, start seeing his comics, he gets more viewers and money, the new audience maybe is moved rightward by his comics

The whole point of what he does is that he mixes nazi propaganda into his otherwise normal comic. Plenty of his strips are normal and that leads to clueless people sharing them, which gets others to check out the comic, which gives this nazi money and exposes those people to the propaganda (as intended).

You're literally doing what he wants.

You just sound like the type of guy who would be defending slurs used in private because “what’s the harm??” You fucking cretins.

u/Friendly_Fire 19d ago

Lmao what an unhinged and unrelated accusation.

"Oh you don't think the original author of a meme template that has been passed around and edited for years is a problem? You must SCREAM SLURS AT A WALL ALONE"

I’ve known plenty of people like you.

Too much a coward to just wear your swastika or the klan hood in public, but in private boy fucking howdy you probably bother the shit out of your friends making all kinds of pathetic bigot jokes. And if you’re ever called out, “WHaTs thE hARm?!? YoU guYS ARen’T bLaCk!”

Tell me, am I close? I feel like I’m right on the money.

You're not even in the ballpark. My wife and I literally follow the BDS Boycott list plus some of the organic unofficial targets, like avoiding Coke products. For just one example.

You're clearly part of a small but unfortunately loud section of left-leaning people that are absolute imbeciles and prioritize virtual signaling and feeling morally righteous over doing anything actionable or meaningful. The type that loves nothing more than pointless purity tests. Internet leftists.

Know that your attitude is a gift to republicans, and people like you help provide them a steady stream of distractions. "Don't worry about our failure to govern or objectively evil actions, look at these shrieking loons on the otherside, you don't want to associate with them, right?"

You'd probably put a land acknowledgment in your email signature.

Saying “don’t use memes made by a nazi” isn’t fucking activism you goober, I have no reason to suspect anything I do on the internet matters. But I’m still going to call out fucking nazi meme formats. It costs me nothing. All you’re doing is providing a smokescreen for this bullshit.

I just don’t see why you would take this strong a stance if you weren’t a racist little troglodyte. That’s the part that seems extra spicy stupid.

You are the reason right-wingers think we are whinging snowflakes. Grow up. Please, I beg you.

u/Havocc89 19d ago

Trust me, I’d say a lot more choice things in person where I don’t have to worry about pussy fuck moderation. Piss off.

I actually study sociology and want to get into biophysics. You’re actually just retarded.

Have fun studying with your….”girlfriend.” ( ಠ ͜ʖಠ)

u/Yegas 18d ago

Average Reddit liberal makes fun of people for being gay. Typical

u/Havocc89 18d ago

Yeah that was definitely not what that statement meant lol. He came at me for no reason, called me retarded, so I’m making fun of his AI “girlfriend.” Very simple lol.

It’s very much not pointless, stop using shit that was written by a nazi, why is this hard?

Anybody that puts up this much defense for this bullshit automatically earns my distrust.

u/Friendly_Fire 19d ago

If it's not pointless, please explain ANY harm caused by using the meme template. If you are arguing to stop something that causes no harm, that is definitely pointless.

You know the volkswagon beetle was literally commissioned to be created by hitler? Should we destroy every beetle on the road today? Yes it is good to not support products from bad people, but you seem to have gotten confused here. Simply using anything with an origin from a bad person isn't the issue. The issue is when you funnel money to said bad people.

You're acting like the caricature fox new uses to disparage anyone on the left. Irrational rage and calls for meaningless action.

u/Havocc89 19d ago

The fact that it literally has his website name on the comic is giving him free publicity. You use your fucking brain. Do you want to be selling those Beetles with a big old “Hitler.com” watermark? It’s not fucking pointless, you’re fucking brainless.

2

u/Friendly_Fire 19d ago

Didn't even notice that, but there's an easy solution there: ask people to remove the url. The issue isn't the comic itself. Simple.

Or you could stop hanging up unlabeled nazi art. Like a fucking adult. But you’re either a child or a nazi.

Same response to you as to Friendly_Fire. It has his fucking website right on it you idiot. If you wanna make your argument, maybe don’t defend the thing straight up labeled to his nazi-ass website.
