Considering it's the SCA we're talking about, I find it equally likely that they really were just grognards who didn't consider how people would look at their use of a ton of Nordic symbolism that the Nazis co-opted.

Huh. Imagine that. It still manages to have Nazi associations, even as a historical artifact, so I think I'm still going to count it.

I only have canyoneyes for you
A friend of mine is Indian, and when he moved to the US for work and grad school he bought a used car.
He had a Hindu priest(?) bless his car, writing a bunch of good luck symbols on his car with chalk, including a huge swastika. One of his co-workers saw it and told him dude, you can't have that on your car. Even though that's not what you mean, it's what literally everybody who looks at it here will assume.

I think it's unlikely the SCA nerds are ignorant that people would make that association. It's also possible they are racist and it's a wink and a nod. It's most likely that they're making a WELL ACTUALLY statement about how they're taking the symbol back.

Context matters. Eye contact is polite in some contexts, but very rude in some cultural contexts. If you're willfully violating that, you're not making a statement other than "I'm a dick"

Yeah there is a dude in YouTube that does HEMA and reviews swords and knives. He's Norwegian (?) born Canadian, and I always worry that he's a closet Nordic supremacist.

He's pretty secretive about his origins, which does little too allay my fears.

Was given aa Kurta in college from some Indian friends, it looks great and is comfy, but it's "Swastika" brand with the orthogonal oriented swastika logo on the tag. :/

I bought myself two kurtas after a coworker wore one to work during an international festival type thing. His looked so amazing, I just had to have one. Kurtas own, but you have to get the special occasion ones with the cool colors and embroidery.

Definitely Norwegian, both him and his SO have distinct Norwegian accents to my ears. I don't know or care much anymore why he's secretive about it, though. Don't be a weird nazi, viking-man :(

He is from Norway, in his earlier videos he talked about it a lot, he moved to Canada in the last few years. As far as I know hes never gave any indication of racism and does not even use pagan iconography to any large extent. There were some idiots on the internet who accused him of racism for not liking katanas though so that was a thing lol

Yeah I don't really doubt he's just a normal dude. I'm really glad channels like his, scholagladiatoria, Knyght Errant, Metatron etc. are around to dispel history myths that have stuck around since before the internet. Butt-hurt anime nerds is a good bonus.

I don't either it's just been a rough year and I feel like it's making me assume the worst of people now.

And yeah he's not assuming the attitudes and symbols of the typical neo-norse-zi, and generally seems like an all-around nice dude, so I'm not that worried.

I find it funny that he's "forced" to play anime booby games on his channel though. I don't know how much I buy into his coercion.

I don’t know much about curling (that’s curling, right?), but seeing as they’re pushing the stones away from the target with their feet and poles, I think that’s just cleanup.

They're just going over the track to see what it's like, if they were actually playing at that point in time there wouldn't have been anyone in the target zone.

Someone who knows what the correct terms are (instead of "track" and "zone") will come along shortly and correct me.
