AYRT

So we have to give people who salivate (Remember their “ovaries go boom” tag) over literal Nazis the benefit of the doubt because other canons and fandoms are problematic? Is that what you’re saying? Because other canons are bad and people like those canons, we can’t draw the line at actual, literal Nazis?

I just meant drawing the line at Nazis and ignoring other shit that essentially had the same affect during the same time period to countries and people not in Europe.

we're talking about a real participant who has really nominated nazi RPF and really gets off on pictures of nazi hands, and when her nazi RPF got rejected, she continues to nominate fictionalized versions of nazis.

if anyone knows of another real participant who has behaved similarly wrt other recent atrocities, please do speak up. otherwise you're derailing into hypotheticals. we're not "ignoring other shit" in yuletide if nobody's actually doing it in yuletide.

Yes, I know. I didn't say it was THIS exchange. I was just pointing out what would be hypocritical. That was it.

We are discussing Yuletide. This hypothetical has no place here and you are derailing.

When someone signs up for Yuletide with a blog full of posts jerking it over real-life Imperial Japanese war criminals, we can ~finger wag~ at them too.

What about fandoms written by Japanese Nationalists? Which is essentially the same as White nationalists who perpetuate Nazi ideology. No one is going to nominate a Japanese War criminal because they don't know any of them. I'm referring to modern people, writing stuff that people blindly consume with no thought to what the purpose is, and what it might be doing.

I see what you mean, and it's probably off topic, but I just wanted to point out that there CAN be hypocrisy. That was all I was referring to with my original statement.
