Yeah but adobe's new trrms of service are REALLY bad, allowing for them the rights to use anything you create in their programs, for free.

Hate to be pedantic, but Genshin is Chinese, not South Korean

Birdie Whack

These kinds of things are so tough because we could have easily done an hour on that alone. We had another follow up ep with Julian planned just about Megalia, but decided to shelve it. We will see

Mulloy

We call genshin impact breath of the waifu to describe the game

Oh man, the first 20 minutes of me listening to this podcast I was like "PLEASE talk about the MapleStory controversy". It brings me so much joy

Jacob Chansley’s tattoos seem specifically related to “Heathenry”, a Neopagan new religious movement that is historically intertwined with the esoteric far-right but which only sometimes aligns with it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathenry_%28new_religious_movement%29 Which seems fitting with Jacob Chansley’s generally confused and muddled worldview.

In the West, use of the swastika by far-right groups seems to be considered a bit “on the nose”, so the symbol preferred by these groups tends to be the _Sonnenrad_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_%28symbol%29 The _Sonnenrad_ is unambiguously Nazi, but there are other symbols that are more ambiguous than the swastika, such as the _Wolfsangel_, which is used on permanent survey markers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfsangel And the _Valknut_ (famously appearing as one of Jason Chansley’s tattoos), an ancient symbol the original meaning of which remains unknown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valknut

Swastikas have a different connotation in parts of Asia entirely separate from the Nazis, in that in some countries the swastika is still primarily the map symbol for a Buddhist temple. The main way you can tell the difference between a Buddhist, Hindu, or Jain swastika and a Nazi swastika in East Asia is that the Nazi swastika is usually rotated 45°, with thicker lines (often on a 9x9 grid). There are other subtle differences between types of swastikas, such as the orientation (I can never remember which is which), and the Hindu swastika tends to have more curved strokes, with dots in the squares: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika The primary association of the symbol (aside from being used as a map marker for Buddhist temples) is good luck, so it makes some sense that it would be used as an upvote symbol on the forum you’re discussing, though in a far-right context the double meaning and association with the Nazi swastika is probably intentional.
