Well that’s a headline I never thought I’ll write. Several posts and comments on the GOG subreddit have noticed a promotional e-mail that contains some… interesting symbols, which I can confirm with my own e-mail. As can be seen from the screenshot below, an e-mail containing a discount code for the game The End of the Sun (nothing out of the ordinary so far) contains 4 symbols that resemble Nazi iconography.

        Given that they were nazi propaganda in 1938 and creating the October 7 mass rape narrative… it’s not that much of a stretch.

        Utterly aside from the general content of this thread.

        I know nothing of the pieces printed or their leanings, nor is it relevant for the purposes of this response.

        That argument is the weakest of sauces, drizzled over a disappointing bad-faith steak.

        A single article doesn’t define a whole paper (nor was that claimed).

        A papers’ reputation doesn’t give them a free pass for printing something outside of their normal editorial quality control.

        Argue the actual claims, this bad faith deflection bullshit is fooling no-one.

          Oh look an ml account repeating the Ukraine nazi Russian propaganda talking point. How surprising.

          When this is the claim being replied to, forgive me and anyone else from not giving it any graces. Especially when it is starting with as you say

          That argument is the weakest of sauces, drizzled over a disappointing bad-faith steak.

          Especially when a user is literally calling what the leader of Ukraine did last week Russian propaganda.

            They came in hot, you go at it, zero problems with that from me.

            All I meant is that you should go at it with actual arguments.

            Even if they are objectively incorrect, responding with deflection and fallacy makes your position look weak, like you don’t have an actual point.
