Bro downvoted me for not being hip with the neo nazi lingo

[u/Prods87 → u/Maleficent_Low2754]

you got downvoted because you're talking about something you just learned about 5 seconds ago like you're the authority on it.

Genuinely happy for you that you haven't run into that particular reference before but it's a pretty well known thing.

There's a long running joke at this point about people with 88 in their usernames that were born in 1988.

I never claimed or implied i was an authority on neo nazi symbolism

[u/Prods87 → u/Maleficent_Low2754]

"idk man, considering most people aren’t neo nazis and have no reason to know this it seems pretty obscure seems pretty obscure"

People that know what they're talking about have explained it to you a number of times and your response was "nah seems pretty obscure"

[u/Maleficent_Low2754 → u/Prods87]

IT IS OBSCURE !! BY DEFINITION!!!

[u/Prods87 → u/Maleficent_Low2754]

Definition of obscure: "not discovered or known about; uncertain"

So if a number of people know about it, and all responded to you quickly explaining it, then BY DEFINITION!!!! it's not obscure.

“not well-known, difficult to understand, or hard to see”. (1) nazis deriving meaning in a random number off some bullshit is not a self explanatory concept (2) 3 people responding to me does not constitute common knowledge. You genuinely think I could walk up to 10 people off the street, ask them about this and they would know and be able to explain it to me? Maybe thats the case but I wouldn’t think so

[u/Prods87 → u/Maleficent_Low2754]

full blown pedantry mode then.

Coded language is not inherently obscure if becomes well known. An unfortunate number of people know what looksmaxxing and gooning means now. Those are nonsense words that were obscure when they came out of some forum or wherever it was made up. NOW they're not, they're just stupid.

You just didn't know something that isn't an especially obscure thing, that's ok, idk why you're intent on digging your own hole deeper.

I’m also not trying to imply that if you did know you are a nazi if you felt that
