i played a schizophrenia simulator in VR about 10 years ago and one thing it did was make stuff look like it was alluding to nazi things (apophenia).
feeling this way lately as occasionally a innocuous ss in a word keeps popping out and i have to remind myself that, nope, not every ss is a fascist "dogwhistle".
i guess if i was living in medieval times i'd be spooked by demon horns or smth, idk.
i read this can be caused by stress and/or lack of sleep too.
if i can't make it better, why not drive it ad absurdum? *every* double consonant is a dogwhistle now.
@lritter does remind me of a few years ago when we were talking about designing an official logo for Slipstream, and @aldroid was very insistent early on, "do not, under any circumstances, make it resemble the SS logo"
and then one of our members, who i shan't name here, posted "what if we had one based on the KISS logo"
and Aldroid was like what did i say, WHAT DID I SAY
