I don't think they really ever steal cultures like that?
Which culture did they ever take and appropriate?
Miniature wargaming... 40K is especially fascy.
They've tried for punk subculture.
Been pretty successful with metal subculture.
Online nerd-subculture.
I'm sure there are many more... They're in the op pic after all.
So Nazis are taking miniature wargaming?
Unironically supporting the supremacy of the Big E, purity of the human species, and fascism of the Emperium. Like folks missing the irony in Verhoven's Starship Troopers.
That doesn't make any sense. If I write a sci Fi story about space Nazis, that doesn't mean Nazis are taking over literature.
I don't think the person you're replying to is accusing the authors of being Nazis. There are people out there who will support fascist characters in their favourite fictional universes, and when they go to social events like tabletop tournaments they'll bring a lot of talking points that are very close to fascism with them
Yes, that happens in all areas and situations in life, but that has nothing to do with Nazis infiltrating anything.
I wonder if maybe the phrase "Nazis infiltrating" is ascribing it too much intention in your mind?
People with awful views on the world appear in all sorts of hobbies, you're right, and that's sort of what I mean by co-opting or infiltrating; it might not always be a concerted sneaky plan, but these people turn up in spaces with other people and are so disagreeable that it pushes everyone else away.
Yes I was ascribing it too much intention apparently. I don't know, maybe because Im not a native speaker or something, it all sounded like it means there is a grand conspiracy to infiltrate beer (one of the stuff mentioned in op). Actually I still don't understand how beer comes into this...
