Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Do you have any idea at all how sus your username is?
Mine?
Yes, yours, bullshitter with two Nazi dogwhistles in your name and a new account.
Juice is a nickname I go by and I was born in 1988. Also yes, this is a new account, I started looking for a Reddit alternative when they started public trading last week. Where are the nazi symbols? I’m Mexican and Native American.
88 = Heil Hitler
Juice->Jews
That's one I've never heard before. Is it some sort of neonazi slang or am I just really dumb?
Well, looked it up before posting this comment. That's absolutely crazy that it's an actual thing.
It's literally one of their most common dogwhistles and has been for as long as the Internet has existed, lol
If you see a 14 or a 88 anywhere in a username you need to start asking questions about intent.
I'm internet poisoned as hell but I'm surprised that that's not common knowledge. Its also often 1488 with the 14 referring to the 14 words of the following neo-nazi slogans:
"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"
"because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth."
Even if it was innocent, putting 88 in your username at best makes you unoriginal and old.
You're half dead and you still can't figure out a unique name that doesn't give Nazis cover?
Pathetic.
Well then I’m old and unoriginal Mr Dragon type. My screen name is what it is. I gave you an explanation that I didn’t owe you in the first place and this is all the effort that I’m willing to put in. Have fun being weirdly paranoid over usernames I guess.
Your words mean nothing even in your best case scenario.
Dude, you really need to go touch some grass
🤡
That cool man. Look, I don’t do internet drama anymore (I’m old like you said). So I’m just going to block you now.
what in the hell, lol. i think you've been on the Internet too much
my girl's favorite number is 14, guess I gotta break the news to her that that means she's a Nazi 😂
If her screen name is "Jews14" yeah, probably.
G*mers, lmao
juice is such a common nickname. but ig if you said so, they all nazis now. glad we have you policing forums n keeping us safe 🫡 ppreciate you
Guess I have to stop drinking juice!
step off the gas. nicknames and numbers can have entirely different cultural contexts.
for me, i've never seen "juice" used to refer to jews, nor "88" being used to refer to nazis, and i've been on the internet a long time.
when i see "juice", the first thing i think of is the song by lizzo. "88" is used as a replacement for "bye bye" in cantonese lingo.
plenty of usernames are just random word + year of birth. stop overanalyzing it and chill.
🤡
You sound like the kind of person who would just assume Hindu temples were made by Nazis because they contained swastikas. Just because some assholes used a symbol as a dogwhistle doesn't mean that the rest of the world should stop using it.
I'm not gullible, or a dumbass. Those are harsh words from somebody who can't understand that not everything is a dogwhistle.
Your username is just as sus by your own logic. Grand Dragon is a title for leaders in the KKK.
Look, I definitely don't hate you, and hate racists as much as anyone other upstanding citizen should. I honestly appreciate you looking out for them, and the username you called out could be seen as sus, for sure.
Just don't let assholes steal the symbols for themselves, fuck them. Don't disparage someone for not knowing about the dogwhistle and/or using a symbol non problematically. That was really my only gripe.
