You're being indigenous. When I said it was "an arbitrary line", I wasn't in any way belittling the horrors the Nazis are responsible for and you know it (unless you didn't read the rest of my comment). What I mean is that making choices what's out of bounds and what's not, we have to make a moral value judgement on what's distasteful enough to warrant being not allowed. If we do that, I'm not suggesting that Nazis should in any way fall in the "that's okay" category - I'm just against judging allowed fandoms/characters/requests on a moral basis altogether. There have been mod choices to rule out nominations that were "in poor taste" before that I found ridiculous, so yes, it clearly IS a slippery slope. Just because it doesn't affect underage (which I personally DGAF about but would still hate to see banned) doesn't mean that the slippery slope doesn't exist.
