Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deset Gled" data-source="post: 8914486" data-attributes="member: 7808">You are 100% correct here.  Especially when it comes to WW2 wargaming.  Owning the miniatures, admiring the German engineering, and wearing the T-shirt is understandable.  The shirt, by itself, isn't harmful.  That's also why I linked to the shirt creator, so people could see for themselves what other types of stuff they make.OTOH, context is important.  It's absolutely not a problem that you have a bunch of WW2 tank minis.  But it's one thing to own an army of minis, some of which happen to be German.  Its another thing entirely to meet a guy who only owns WW2 German minis, and refuses to play any other side, or any other game.So, lets consider the context of Justin Lanasa.  He's the guy who has worked with a known neo-Nazi (Dave Johnson) to make two different RPGs.  He's the guy that has an RPG featuring a high powered Nordic race and a stat-capped black race.  He's the guy who posted this on his Facebook page:[ATTACH=full]273608[/ATTACH]Justin is the guy that defended Dave Johnson by saying this (hidden in spoiler for being highly offensive):[SPOILER="Anti-trans text/image"][ATTACH=full]273609[/ATTACH][/SPOILER]So, what does it mean when Justin Lanasa happens to wear a Panzerkampfwagen IV shirt to a trade show, and 8 years later feels the need to share that picture on Facebook?  I can't say for certain.  But I thought it was worth making a note of it.</blockquote>
