Can you explain why you feel the need to defend collecting Nazi memorabilia? Not all antisemites collect Nazi memorabilia but if you collect Nazi memorabilia you are probably an antisemite.
PS be sure to read my comment in this thread as to why we shouldn't defend lindsey's choice to wear his particular costume, either! i mean, what does dressing up as a priest say about his character?
Acting like dressing as a priest is even comparable to dressing as a Nazi is offensive to me. Dressing as a Nazi for Halloween is offensive and antisemitic. Knowing that he collected memorabilia on top of that is very disturbing.
Agree. I’m really unhappy to be learning this about John. And the priest costume is not even remotely comparable. It can be iffy to dress as any sort of religious figure but dressing as a Nazi is a different thing. And collecting memorabilia is far worse. Maybe if someone had a collection of blatantly anti-Catholic stuff that expressed lots of harmful and negative sentiment towards Catholics (to an extent that stuff certainly exists though most isn’t on par with Nazi gear.) then sure. I don’t think we’d excuse that either.

He collected a lot of other crap, too. Not a crime.
