  • A couple of nazis coincidentally being fans of a specific franchise does not constitute a “nazi-problem” within said fandom, in my opinion. I’m pretty sure bronies were quick to shun said individuals. It would only be a “nazi-problem” if that belief was a common trend in the group…

    I always found it mind-boggling how some neo-nazis, could somehow identify with a show based around friendship and inclusion. There is some cognitive dissonance there…


  • I think; if you dig deep enough in any larger fandom, you are bound to find some neo-nazis. A very loud minority of bronies painted a very large target on the rest of us with these beliefs. Especially because the outrage-fueled media ran off with a half cocked story again…

    I still haven’t found out whether Aryanne was originally created as a joke or not. Unfortunately it’s hard for a brony to really-really hate a cute fictional pone like that, and there are a couple of great stories with her as a character (on the bad guy’s team of course).

    I of course hate nazis with a passion, but nazi characters in fiction can be a useful vehicle for storytelling under the right circumstances.















  • Sorry, I’m not saying; that isn’t Adolf Hitler, but your steps 3, 4, and 5 are a bit “eeehhh”.

    Step 3: ask Yourself what are the odds that someone has a doppelganger Hitler grandfather

    In a population as large as ours there is a pretty good chance, that there is someone who looks a lot like Hitler.

    Step 4: ask Yourself who in their right fucking mind would put a picture/ portrait of their grandfather if he looked just like Hitler…

    Someone who doesn’t hate their family member?.. If my beloved grandpa resembled a bad historical figure, that wouldn’t ever prevent me from hanging his picture on my wall. They’d have nothing in common apart from superficial apperance.

    Step 5: ask yourself; why would a grandfather who looked just like Hitler; why would he give himself that hairstyle and give himself that mustache … Grandfather must have heard of Hitler… no?

    When is the picture from? Before the second world war that style of mustache and hair do were fairly common. Doesn’t have to be a grandfather. Could just as well be a great grandfather…


  • Personally I’ve had really good luck with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and R7800 models. They are supported by openWRT as well if you are into that. An issue might be that they are “only” WiFi 5 units. Some of the newer models in the Nighthawk series might be just as good, but i don’t have personal experience with those…
