OP did you really go back 5 years in time specifically to find someone in a Harry Potter subreddit for some users of an obscure podcast forum to laugh at?
There was a TikTok talking about how Jewish writers/directors depict Nazis vs how goy writers/directors depict Nazis. Basically claiming that Jews depict Nazis as foolish and pathetic whereas goys tend to create imagery that fascists enjoy. They mentioned people getting dark mark tattoos and I was like, “no fucking way”
Now, I’m not claiming to be a Nazi expert here, but I’m going to guess this is more just counter signaling their own cultural in group and instead of getting their house sign they are doing some symbol that shows they like this particular IP and at the same time “they are not like other fans.” Now if their is some neo-nazi Harry Potter cult on TERF island harassing trans people and people of color I apologize in advance but my read is that this is completely defanged.
One of the things that makers libs so bad at recognizing fascism is how effectively they utilize that plausible deniability but I think you’re right in this case.
The Reddit op is from what I can see pretty standard potentially-reactionary American, not overtly fash but does seem the type that would side with real fascists pretty quick, they seem
pro-cop or at least have a copaganized view of the police and have some other kind of generally misanthropic “idiocracy was right” kind of views just from a cursory overview of their account
Yeah like I said I think you’re right they’re not a nazi. I’m just saying all it would take for it to be a fash symbol is 4chan deciding it’s sufficiently ironic to line up behind. They’ve done it with other innocuous shit before
Yeah looking through some profiles, I think you’re right. I guess when I see people saying “the dark lord will rise again” I read them as understanding the very clear political implications of that. But it looks like they mostly post about game of thrones and naruto
