Dude. Nazism and Nazi symbols are offensive to Germans. Period. What is
so hard to understand about that? Your little science project is doomed from
the beginning. I mean, shesh-- imagery like that is illegal in a
Democratic State, for crying out loud. What’s funny about that?
|
I disagree with that Period you’ve got there. The recent film The Downfall
seemed to be fairly well received

Well it’s not a new idea to make a joke out of nazism. Mel Brooks
|
He’s a Jew. Different issues there.
|
He didn’t experience the Nazis as far as I know so I disagree that his racial
background justifies his right to make them. Although I agree he does have a
right to make them, much as Al does.

and Hogan’s
Heroes spring to mind.
|
That show is about forty years old.
|
It is still shown today and was remade into a movie recently so that argument
isn’t entirely valid.

I personally don’t think any subject should be out of
bounds for humour, but it depends a lot on the execution. I’m hoping I
carried it off well enough, but that’s ultimately up to the audience.
|
Not for any German audience I suspect. Just as only blacks can call each
other the N-word, and Jews have “permission” to joke about Jews, I would
guess that only a German would have any hope of making light of that subject,
and certainly not an outsider from Aussie.
|
Would an outsider from USian be any better ;) The perspective argument has merit
but I can’t consider it a reason not to make those jokes. This work is obviously
satirical and the use of the much maligned Jack Stone figures brings an
interesting perspective on it since they have a similar role in AFOLdom to what
Jews had in most of the world at the time of Nazism.
| |
I categorically can’t find it funny because I know that it offends Germans.
Hey, just for kicks-- go post your MOC on 1000Steine and see what happens.
If that idea gives you pause, then maybe there are some deeper issues to
which you are oblivious and should have addressed before you embarked on your
build.

Not posting it to 1000Steine is respecting the (probable) views of the majority
of its audience. Lugnet has a more diverse readership and this balance is why it
is acceptable to post imagery and satire like Al’s or Richie’s here. It has
nothing to do with oblivion or lack thereof.
Just some thoughts,
Tim

It is a very dangerous and foolish notion, as exemplified by this movie (I assume, as I (...) (19 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
