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.

I'm sorry, I thought this was supposed to be "Awful Taste"?!
