    The original Nazis were like that too, though – massive dorks.

        We aren’t, non bigoted dorks are fine. I was part of a weirdo friend group in suburbia as a teenager that had some of the only queer people and black people in town. We were cringe sure, but we came by it honestly and we didn’t go around acting like we were better than everyone else for reasons beyond anyone’s control.

        The thing about nazis is that they’re evil and cringe and that’s a rough fucking combination right there

          Then call him a bigot, not a dork

          Don’t use dork like it’s a pejorative.

          If he happens to be a bigoted gay person, would you think it’s OK to call him “gay” as a pejorative?

        They don’t actually believe in anything, so they can actually be made to believe anything.


        This trope was actually played up in a handful of Wolfenstein games, most notably Return to Castle Wolfenstein in 2001.
