This is great, and very honourable, but I would just draw Loss.

Of course to represent the Common Nazi L

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

They're gonna be at a loss for questions at what it means

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Oh thank god I wasn't the only one who thought that.

A four square board to bash a ball on Nazi faces

[–] Ragdoll_X 132 points 2 years ago (9 children)

That's only if they draw an actual swastika. Nazis are so dumb that half the time they can't even draw a proper one.

Good grief they're like AI-generated hands

Perfect description!

[–] piss_fit 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha yeah some fucking clown drew a load on a wall near me and got every single one of them wrong, but all wrong in different ways

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

That's almost impressive. Got a pic?

this is what sucks so much, they fuck it up and make it hard to overwrite, but if you don't overwrite it everyone can still tell what they were trying to do...

r/heilhortler
...wait wrong website

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

No don't bring pleasant memories of the former place with the r/subsections. It's too soon. Still that was a great sub.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Some of these definitely aren't trying to be swastikas

I have been staring at all 3 bottom pics for at least a minute and I cannot figure out which one you think is supposed to be amongus

[–] Jazard23 2 points 2 years ago

Middle picture, most left "attempt". Draw an imaginary line on the right side of it, this might help you see it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Those look AI generated

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ha! You still haven't seen the flag of Golden Dawn, a greek neonazi party which was trialed due to (commanding) violence and even murder multiple times. Its symbol is everywhere on the streets as a graffiti.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

Turns out 4 boxes arranged as a square is a really versatile art foundation

[–] danc4498 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Always reminds me of this postcard I found in my grandma’s album. It’s just 4 L’s. Luck, Love, Life and Light.

[–] x4740N 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's because the nazi's co-opted the symbol which was a symbol of peace

I first learned this when exploring a particular Zelda dungeon.

[–] hydroel 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a bit more problematic in Zelda as Zelda games had a tendency so far to have come out after WW2

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Wasn't the one in Zelda oriented differently to resemble the manji instead of the Nazi swastika?

You know what they say:

If it's straight, you're peaceful mate.

If it's askew, they hate the Jew.

[–] TheMeta 16 points 2 years ago

Which is honestly a common misunderstanding. Just depends on context. Some temples that I have gone to have several banners/paintings with the swastika at various angles.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty rare to see a swastika that's drawn well enough to do this

[–] debil 2 points 2 years ago

You can still lovewinsify it, albeit as poorly as the original "artwork". Still gonna be better though.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

I am partial to the Iron Front ↙️↙️↙️ but this new approach is pretty good! The Iron Front arrows were used to cover the swastika during the time of the actual Nazis and it was a powerful statement. Seeing it being a popular symbol at soccer/football games is a good thing

If you're feeling lazy, then either draw a 🚫 (I don't know what it's called) over it, or do step 2 and turn it into loss.

[–] x4740N 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or you could just do the first step in this and turn them into preschooler drawing of a house windows

[–] JineteDeAbuelas47 9 points 2 years ago

Or old school Windows 95 logo with a bit more effort

[–] Ktheone 10 points 2 years ago

That "hey man wtf >:O" made me chuckle lmao

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can honestly just draw the box and consider it de-swastika'd, the other steps are to make it look pretty.

[–] funnystuff97 18 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah, going around making Windows logos. That's my jam.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Hooray counter-crime!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

finally i can turn nazis into loss

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I love this so much, I audibly gasped. The one and only downside is how much of an asshole I'd feel being forced to scrub the "graffiti" off for work
