Runes are still a bit iffy in the nordic area, a tattoo that visible would be read by 99% of people here as nazi affiliated, something more private like shoulder or something would be more ambiguous but you dont do it that blatantly and unavoidable to the eye without wanting to be really clear about what you believe.
Yeah, that guy would get clocked as a nazi by any white supremacist faction in the US. If it was something other than the odal rune you could maybe make excuses for him, but no one picks the "blood and family" rune by mistake. There's gotta be thousands and thousands of people :reddit-logo: could pick as a model fighter for Ukraine but somehow the Nazis keep rising to the top.
if somebody had a dog named after a norse god or goddess would a dog tag with the runes in that name be pretty safe?
Yeah I'm pretty sure most people would find that relatively safe, increasingly so the further you get away from the two main nazi associated gods of thor and odin, loki would probably just be taken as a marvel fan cause otherwise he's a bit of an odd god to be into.
I think maybe certain combos like if you have some big fuckoff pitbull named Odin that might get a few glances, but for the most part I doubt people would judge that much for a dogs name, having its name in runes on the tag would probably just be considered cutesy, if a bit impractical.
I wouldn't call Thor nazi associated, certainly not to the same extent Odin has become. Nazis might like him but his popularity is too wide to be just a Nazi one and he remains the best known and most popular of the old Norse gods, as he has been since pre-Christian times. Virtually anyone who grew up with Norse mythology has a soft spot for this temperamental but ultimately good-natured brawler.
sure! runes are just an ancient writing system, and they are cool, it's just that a lot of the cooler ones have been appropriated by Nazis. Here is a handy guide for runic names of old norse gods
Depends on which runes. There are specific ones, like odal, that are used pretty much exclusively by Nazis. Odal by itself is like 80-90% chance of Nazi. Tyr and Algiz together - 100% nazi. And, honestly, if you get any runic stuff expect to get stink eyes from leftists, jews, and other people who have to keep an eye out for this stuff. There's a lot of dumb but well meaning neopagans who refuse to engage with the racist history of the revival of norse mythology, but there's also a fuckload of nazis and assorted chuds who use runes these days.
yup, like your name in runes, or the magic runes of folklore are ok, a fucking face tattoo is sus af
Weird but still not as fucked as NFT's
Necropants, lmao.
I got to the word "Necropants" and my brain was like, "That can't possibly be what it sounds like..." and then literally less than a second later I was proven wrong. They are EXACTLY what they sound like.
I like the smug smiley face in the middle of the barrel rune.
TFW your beer doesn't leak
