    Probably gonna get downvoted for this, but that’s a misleading headline. Nazi meme implies the meme itself is Nazi, where as the meme in question, according to the article, was comparing LGBT to Nazis.

    I don’t agree with the meme, for the record, I just have (what I think is) a reasonably specific definition of Nazi. “Bigoted” would be a more accurate word to use here.

    But then, this is Not The Onion, and the headline is technically correct (it’s a Nazi meme in that it’s a meme featuring Nazis,) so whatever.

      Yeah, it should be called an anti-trans or anti-liberal meme. Saying she was supporting Nazis is misleading and sensationalistic. However, ironically it is a point of view that historical or current Nazis would support.

        Agreed.

        Though I am now enjoying imagining this woman trying to be a subtle bigot at a party, while Hitler keeps butting into the conversation to emphatically support her…

        I wish her self-awareness and growth, and all the discomfort, embarrassment and revulsion at her own choices that will come with it.
