I bring up genuine concerns about Nazi imagery and your response is whataboutism? GTFOH.
And JFC yes, I would absolutely chew NK's ass if their Star Wars sets had actual Nazi icons as novelties. The **** is your problem?
whataboutism is a deflection tactic (aint deflecting **** here, nor am i defending this kit). youre the one who brought it up. I'm ON TOPIC. literally you "having a palpable disinterest in seeing nazi or nazi-adjacent designs being normalized in this hobby."
nazi-adjacent designs... in this hobby. i hate to break it to you but those star wars sets do have actual nazi-derived novelties: darth vader's ww2 german helmet and LITERAL fking stormtroopers. the entire empire is deliberate nazi aesthetic, adored by millions of fans. but i guess that always gets a pass from twitter stereotypes becus FiCtIonAl and 'it was a different time' back in the 70s.
context matters. do i think george lucas was spreading subliminal nazi propoganda in the 70s? of course not. he chose to model cartoon villains after something evil. "wow cool villains"
i dont know the context behind this sets novelties. its poorly thought out and none was given. the fire selector arrow cluster is the only good thing i see, most of the other novelties are just too random, not cohesive. imo i would just drop everything that isnt directly related to HK, really doesnt add anything nor need to be there.
that said, do i think this dude is deliberately trying to make a nazi theme keyset? if he was a westerner id probably be suspicious too, but i give the benefit of the doubt here since he clearly isnt. occam's razor here is that it is an unfortunate coincidence haphazardly put together by a non-westerner who doesnt understand the cultural nuances. screams "wow cool culture" from someone who isnt deeply exposed to it
maybe just ask for clarification and leave it at that. you're here pre-judging and jumping to conclusions, ready to crucify him on the spot. i chose to give you a hard time instead because i find it annoying how much of a western twitter stereotype you are. go outside and take a walk bro
