Eh... Wut.
That joke is hardly "anti German" even if you want it to be as justification for whatever point you're trying to make.
It's a joke about Germany being full of self employed artists who may discover their inner Hitler if they were to be obliged to find a new career from where I'm standing....

The real racism here is the assumption that Hitler was German.

My preference would be to have no rules, enter this thread at your own peril type of thing. What I find perplexing is the wierd application of offence to some things and not others.

To the vast majority of people, it's not weird.
People on LFGSS are directly affected by rape , misogyny, homophobia. Jokes about which have been posted here.
A witty joke about an Austrian painter who changed careers and ended up killing millions of people is neither racist, xenophobic nor hurtful to forumengers IMO.

Good point, however the joke doesn't work for other nations so it must be a directly German slur? Or no?
-
• #85484
No.

I hear you. Can we do witty jokes about people that are rapists?
I think not.

Saying any artistic German could potentially be a Hitler is a bit offensive.

• #85487
I can see what you mean. Definitely wasnt how it came across to me though.

I read it more generally. Any German can become another Hitler, it's what they do. Bad Germans.
This is his inference.

Yes, see all the Epstein/Weinstein memes, but you're on iffy territory if you do jokes about rape.
Jokes about Hitler are OK, jokes about the holocaust are tricky.
Mocking Mao is funny, mocking the 100 million Chinese peasants he murdered not so much.
Do you see a pattern emerging?

As a German I am deeply offended that some people really think Germans lack any kind of humour and would construe that joke as anti German

Henning Wehn has basically built a career on playing to this stereotype

I'm a self employed German artist but haven't discovered my inner Hitler so far,
so should I now be posting more memes with that dark skinned guy with the long schlong or what -

I can't believe you described it then I looked at it and was still suprised when I noticed
edit - the penis, not hitler

I’m confused. You don’t want any rules in this thread but you’re one that took exception to the post?
Are you policing the thread for others, or because you’re offended?

His name is "Wood" and he doesnt appreciate being typecast because somebody photoshopped his cock eight years ago.
Im not even joking. Thats his name and he really hates the meme.

I'm not a painter or a self employed German. But I do enjoy banning people and I am bored

Hitler was an Austrian. It's like Germany but it's an entirely different country, which is why the idea of a fictional pan-European state of white dudes was so important to them.
Coincidentally, the Covid-19 outbreak also came out of Austria so I guess that's twice that something came out of Austria and fucked the entire world.

No, because the memes you post are as funny as being told you've got terminal cancer.
Well, the entire idea that the German people of today are somehow responsible for the Holocaust is incredibly anti-German.
