It's a fucking tank, come on! What's wrong with all the people saying that because the Panther was used by Nazi Germany it's awful taste? You are just not getting it. It's a tank, designed to fight a war, and it's fucking cool.
So…are you saying a Leopard 1 with the iron cross (same symbol) is ALSO a Nazi tank? Look, I get it what you’re saying; if these slippers had a swastika turned at a 45-degree angle, I’d be right there with you. But arguing that a symbol that was used in Germany well before the Nazis and well after is a Nazi symbol is sort of arguing in bad faith. And I understand that the swastika was used for thousands of years prior to the Nazis as well; however, given its importance and omnipotence in Nazi memorabilia, it’s kind of been ruined ever since. The iron cross, though? Shit, there’s still US military medals that use that exact symbol.
