It's not at all exclusive to nazis. Hundreds of people/organizations have used a skull and crossbones

    But only Nazis used the totenkopf, which isn't an ambiguous skull and crossbones despite your ignorance.

    What defines it as a totenkopf or a skull and cross bones. Can you explain the difference?

    Are you fuckin serious? The fact that it's literally the fuckin badge the fuckin SS had on their caps. The fact it looks nothing like any other skull and crossbones, the texture of the skull, it being in sight profile, literally the whole fuckin thing. Why are you justifying a Nazi tattoo? It's fuckin irrelevant if a bunch of dumbfuck Americans don't recognize Nazi imagery, it's an unambiguous totenkopf, an exclusively Nazi symbol. It's not similar to a totenkopf; it's clearly a totenkopf. Your ignorance doesn't change what it is. It does mean you're a fuckin Nazi apologist though.

    I'm not justifying a god damned thing, im saying I don't know what makes it one thing and not the other. And apparently you can't either since you won't just answer the fucking question.

    Given that I very much agree with punching nazis a d have since I learned of them, knowing someone who literally ate nazis in the form of sausages, and I had never heard the word before platner, it's not as well recognized as you are claiming it to be.

    That's it that's it's not that easily identified regardless of how you feel about it.

    For fucks sake man stop being an asshole about this

    The fact that it's literally the fuckin badge the fuckin SS had on their caps. The fact it looks nothing like any other skull and crossbones, the texture of the skull, it being in side profile, literally the whole fuckin thing. Why are you justifying a Nazi tattoo? ...it's an unambiguous totenkopf, an exclusively Nazi symbol. It's not similar to a totenkopf; it's clearly a totenkopf.

    Can't fuckin read can ya.

    Does it look like a fucking jolly roger to you? How many other skull and crossbones have you seen that look just like that? Y'all fucking arguing that it isn't a totenkopf just because y'all dumbasses don't know what the fuck it is, but your knowledge on the matter don't fuckin change that it was clearly specifically a totenkopf, and he knew what the fuck it was and his friends knew. It's a Nazi capital N fuckin Nazi symbol, exclusively, as in not used anywhere else, and you don't accidentally get it tattooed on you. And I'll stop being an ass when motherfuckers stop making excuses for literal goddamn Nazi tattoos. Y'all acting like it's a fucking punisher skull, it's the fucking emblem of the SS for fucks sake. Christ this fucking place.

    Then you don't know what a jolly roger looks like either. And all this proves is that you don't know what a totenkopf is. The tattoo was still a totenkopf, as recognizable by literally anyone that knows what it looks like, which is why he covered the fucking thing up, it's not a fucking debate whether or not it was a totenkopf because it was. Fucking Nazi apologist ass.

    I've already admitted I don't know... The accusation that Lemmy doesn't know what a totenkopf is is the entire reason I responded in the first place.

    "I don't know what makes this skull and bones different from any other Jolly Roger I've ever seen" expecting us to think that's a reasonable statement is unreasonable.

    You know what a totenkompf is, it's been shown to you. You've seen it, and like a swastika or a blue Israeli 6 pointed star, you can recognize immediately if it's just a similar design or actually the fucking Nazi symbol.

    You'll never be watching pirates of the Caribbean and think "is that a totenkompf?" and you'll never look at Platner's totenkompf and think "that's a Jolly Roger"

    And the fact that you're trying so hard to convince us that you would is apologizing for Nazis.
