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.

    The Schutzstaffel is purely a Nazi symbol.

    There was no reason to use 2 of those runes together, especially when not using it in German mailers because they thought it would violate hate speech laws.

    Either you are trying to gaslight people into thinking that ᛋᛋ is not a symbol of hate and genocide, or you are extremely ignorant.

        Tell me then, why would they use 2 side by side. And why not show those symbols to Germans?

      No, I’m just capable of reading an article and understanding an explanation, unlike you and most other people in the thread, apparently.
