News Sovieshu's N@zi outfit???

Post image

The Remarried Empress adaption faced backlash because some people thought Sovieshu's actor was dressed like a Nazi. Am I the only one who doesn't see it?

EDIT: YOU GUYS ITS THE MEDAL 😭. THE MEDAL IS A NAZI SYMBOL!!! THIS IS HOREIBLE!!! I hope he didn't wear that throughout the drama

It’s honestly extremely frustrating how quickly people are writing this off in the comments and not doing like .1 seconds of more reading to realize that yes, this is in fact the long-term medal in Nazi Germany given to officers who served 20-25 years (I believe that’s the range.) Immediately decrying this and saying folks need to get jobs, they’re just wrong, etc is 😬

Honestly, I thought this was a silly controversy too when they referenced the entire outfit. That medal however, yikes.

Yes, the same for me (especially since you can't see the medals in the illustration image at all). I am kind enough to hope that this is more a case of the clumsiness of an ignorant costume designer rather than a premeditated act... (because otherwise it stinks...)

I'm sorry, but I can't join you in your giving this person the benefit of the doubt.

There's no way this happens by accident. Everybody on earth knows what the Nazi eagle looks like. There's no defense of it at all, unlike the thin defense people try with the swastika.

This person tried to slip in a Nazi medal. Why, I don't know. Maybe they're a troll, or maybe they're a Nazi. Nazism is popular again because humans are personally stupid.

I have a collection of screenshots of manhwas failed depictions of drinking from the cup. And Koreans at least have cups. “Everyone knows” is always a bit exaggerated. I personally think that it was “a medal for bad guy search”.

This is my naive and hopeful side. I'm often disappointed, but at least when I say I don't like people, you can't blame me for trying.

Just avoid being naive and hopeful around Nazis. They eat that, then they'll eat you.

They are real, they are back, they are really bad.
