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.

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.
