Then we should all start hanging swastikas around Auschwitz, shouldn’t we? Because that symbol just means “prosperity and good luck”.
Fascist apologia at its fucking finest. The wolf emoji is so obviously used in a nationalistic far-right meaning here with all the Turkish flags. Get a clue.

Feels like the gray wolf isn’t defined enough as a fascist symbol that there’s plenty of latitude for non-fascists to use it. Like if that account is known to use it that way it’s one thing, but otherwise it’s probably just a coincidence. The swastika is the most widely known symbol of hate these days but even now you can go see it on all kinds of temples in Asia, so if even that gets used in a non-nazi way these days surely the gray wolf isn’t only defined as a fascist symbol.

Here Grey wolf are regularly attacking in the street, sometime with knife, and some murder of exiled people opposed to Erdogan seems to be related to this guys. Just fascists

Gray Wolf in conjunction with Turkish flag and arms fire is pretty unique. Smells like Nazi.
You get sensitized if it’s in the news regularly. I would expect it to be less well known oversees.

It’s not that that account is known to use it, it is that Turkish ultra-nationalists are known to use it. A lot.
Now I don’t really care about it being used in that tweet as it is obviously a joke, nor do I believe that everything that makes someone uncomfortable should be censored, but at least one should be honest to themselves to recognize that that symbol has a shitty meaning behind it with the context that is present here.

I don’t remember what the name of the logical fallacy where you conflate a small problem with a big one, but that’s what you’re doing. It’s a poor argument regardless of the context.

Straw man.
That first sentence was directed at your “don’t let Nazis appropriate culture for themselves” statement. Because swastikas are just a nice little cultural symbol, and because they would fit in nicely with the concentration camps just like the grey wolves here with the Turkish flag.

iirc it’s the slippery slope fallacy?

Are not grey wolves a cultural symbol related to an old turkish tale? Does not look facist to me.

In the Turkish diaspora they are used as a dog whistle for Turkish nationalist. Good dog whistle too. You don’t hear it.

I’m not letting some obscure group of fucking Turks claim a goddamn emoji as their own and stop using it myself. Same with Pepe, a 🐸 emoji, or 👌. They already have the swastika and a bunch of others from the ACTUAL Nazis, let them use those instead.

Ah so this is about an organization named “grey wolves” known for their hostile worldviews, not the grey wolf from the historical tale about a she-wolf raising a human children? This could have been elaborated better.

Yes, that is the point. Oh, this isn’t about 40k?

You‘re getting downvoted but I agree with you. The joke in the image is funny, but the presence of these grey wolve emojis suggests affiliation with the Grey Wolves which are fascist. No debating that, I don’t get the other comments here.
