Alt textThe "Bro visited his friend" meme template. In panel one, a character says "hi GOG any new deals tod-" and another character, labeled with the GOG.com logo, replies with the screenshot of a mail header titled "Slavic adventures 𖥞 ꥟ ϟϟ". In the second panel, the first character looks at the second one with a worried look on their face.

this one is in reference to the swastika used for centuries across cultures, way before the nazis even existed. the nazi one is (usually) angled and thicker.

obviously that doesn't stop nazis from using it, same for the futhark or koppa.

    so are the other two. the slavic religions are more than a thousand years old.

    Edit: okay the kolovrat is iffy. the new version of that religion is very racist.

    We know what these emojis are about when written together, and when written beside “Slavic adventure”. We know how fascists feel about “Asiatic hordes.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Themes_in_Nazi_propaganda#Russians

    well the newsletter was about an adventure game based on slavic folklore. like the witcher, that game the gog guys (who are polish i think?) created from famous slavic folklore. i'm not debunking anything anyone is saying mind, i would just rather it not be true.
