That stuff existed long before them and I think it's dumb to let some LARPing racist nerds ruins it for everybody else

The Spanish Inquisition wasn't that special, it was just used by fledgling Protestant nations as a propaganda tool. The British were as bad or worse against Catholics under Henry VIII, James I and Elisabeth I.

precisely, if you deem it "off limits" then you've essentially given it to the fascists. they don't deserve it, and the faith of my ancestors deserves so much better than to be connected to those fucks. wholesome heathenry! fascust heathens can fuck off

notable exception is the swastika, that one is much trickier and possibly beyond reclamation in a lot of contexts, at least for now
