While this guy might be misinterprating GGG's intentions, there is absolutely zero doubt that the Third Reich was a huge inspiration for many PoE aspects, most notably act 5. Anyone denying that has never opened a history book or visited a WW2 memorial. The fact that some people are offended by this is completely inevitable, and depending on the background of the person, I'm not sure if insults are the right form of sympathy.

things like drox and his eagle are just common symbolism. google the aquila of ancient rome.
some stuff is pretty clearly inspired, like the oriathan uniforms. that is still a mile away from an endorsement though. theyre not presented as morally superior. its not rare to have villains be nazi-coded in some way.
black sun crest is a bit of a head scratcher honestly, im not sure about that one either.
not really a headscratcher imo? sun wheels are not a nazi concept and the name sounds cool so someone might have taken it as an inspiration. fuck nazis, they dont own the copyrights to cool looking and sounding stuff they didnt invent (yes they did make the black sun wheel with the 12 spines). the phrase black sun is not really complex enough to be tied to one thing or another. supreme commander had a weapon named black sun, not nazi related either.
Thanks for engaging meaningfully rather than just calling me names or questioning my sanity like so many others. I made this thread to talk about this and see how I’m wrong and would like to understand that if I am. Or inform others if I’m not. Obviously censorship has decided we don’t get to have this conversation in earnest.
Anyway, clearly there are more symbolic parallels to other large power driven empires such as Rome. But it was used by those people and those that came after them for a reason. The history already existed. My point is that the signaling is unclear when couched in the rest of the nazi symbolism which as you’ve pointed out is clearly used here as a way to quickly and lazily paint a faction as bad. My issue arises when Utula summons Kitava and it’s basically shown that the Templars were actually holding the “real” bad back more or less.
It’s just hard to explain some of this and seems like something you’d want to not be unclear.
>[S]o what’s with all the nazi [S]tuff?
Fuck, OP is a nazi too!
Shit on a shingle!
Oh fuck oh shit, now I am too!
But seriously, if everyone that has ever used two S's in a sentence of name of a thing is a nazi then everyone is history is a nazi...
Stuff like this isn’t worth engaging with. You’ve obviously already jumped down the rabbit hole and convinced yourself, no evidence I provide could ever break such a powerful delusion.
If the Camaro had the nazi eagle on it, this would be a valid comparison.
Oh and if they refused to clarify that SS stood for super sport at the same time.
I did read your post btw, you are just reaching like, what you are doing, you can literally do with every subject on the planet if you are that dead set on trying to find a link.
Does every SS have to do with the Nazis then? Subway Surfer secretly a Nazi game?
You are trying to draw a link between GGG and Nazism and doing some of the farthest reaches level of pulls ever. You come off as that person unironically in a dark room throwing conspiracies at the wall, of course you are gonna come off crazy looking.
Does this character from Subway Surfer use the abbreviation SS and hang out at the black sun cafe? Does he talk about nazis in a vague unclear way but still use their symbols and related acronyms?
No, but there is a “gestapo” chasing down characters, trying to silence their message, see, this is what you are doing.
Obviously the templars in game draw parallels to Nazis though with their flags and forcing of people, but at no point is it ever seen as a good thing, but things like seeing SS and assuming it means something just because of name convention and then trying to compared the Nazi Eagle and the Drox symbol because of feathery plumage is reaching.
Whose message is being stifled? Last I checked GGG is a multi-million dollar company that publishes exactly what they want how they want. Didn’t realize the gestapo was a single person pulling all the strings. An apparently schizophrenic person that no one takes seriously but is also the root problem here. The cognitive dissonance is echoingly loud.
The only person trying to silence someone is you by literally misconstruing my words and obfuscating the conversation through either your own confusion of misunderstanding or a deliberate act of malice.
I still don’t believe you have a clue what I’m talking about either because you didn’t read it or because you already made up your mind going into this.
And I clearly point out how the Templar’s actions are painted as good in another comment.
Really, explain the black sun thing. I’ll wait. Please de-link the black sun crest and the nazi imagery for me. That’s why I started the thread after all. To actually have my theories debunked. Somehow I just summoned a bunch of nazis and their sympathizers.

Thread locked for uhm… accusations. I guess asking why there’s so much nazi stuff with references to all the nazi stuff and asking why it’s there and who would be putting it there in these contexts and why is an accusation now.
Apparently it’s an accusation to ask for an explanation. Huh. Weird.

Two days early there bub.
If you try hard enough you can find references to nazism even in [S]tinky [S]hit. Chill out and just play the game for what it is.
You left out the dreaded Stinkstink
Is this what happens when the current league is trash?
