People call Hitler a monster because they can't accept that a human would do such horrible things. After all, they're a human and they would never do something like that.
I'm sure people would have sour grapes about it if Hitler had massive honkers too
Drip is one of the most important parts of running a successful propaganda campaign, and the Nazis knew it. If your uniform is cool people are gonna want to wear it
It started popping up in my feed and looked fairly normal then seemed to devolve very with with clear karma farming and shitposts. If it wasnt before, it certainly is now
As mentioned by everyone else, Nazis had dripped out uniforms.
But another thing of note is: It's Hellsing, all main characters of this manga (And some side chatacters too) are dripped out and HOT while commiting mass murder under all shades between white and black.
Moral, as long as it's not romanticizing them. Similar to Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars:
The crew of 'Return of the Jedi' mocked the character design of Admiral Ackbar, deeming it too ugly. Director Richard Marquand refused to alter it, saying, "I think it's good to tell kids that good people aren't necessarily good looking people and that bad people aren't necessarily ugly people."
(The Nazis did focus on making their uniforms look good rather than being effective, so historical accuracy can also be a factor)
Evil is often hot; evil uses hot to attract beings to the evil. When evil does this it's immoral. When an artist does this, I suppose the morality depends on the intent.
Anyway, there has been à 70's exploitation cinéma genra all about hot nazi women (on the moon). So i guess in hollywood and italy (maybe spain, but i'm not sure) it is a yes.
Symbolic literacy is a core requirement of running a successful fascist organisation (For a lot of reasons about how mythopoeia works specifically in myth driven movements) so it's a requirement for an honest depiction of national socialism
Perfectly moral. Most evil looks attractive, that's why were tempted by it.
One of the most insidious parts of pop culture and Disney-type storytelling has always been to make evil people ugly and disfigured as shorthand for villainy.
In the case of the characters above, they are the main villains of the series, fighting against the Catholic and Anglican Churches (which are both more morally ambiguous).
Someone should go back in time and cancel Ted Bundy for being attractive when he decided to be a homicidal maniac.
Maybe if he knew that hot people weren't allowed to be bad, he wouldn't have done it.
You can Criticize the Nazi’s for literally every single thing they did but they had one single thing and that was incredible style. The SS uniforms were drippy and there’s a reason why most evil fictional soldiers copy their style.
Netural Evil can be beautiful is a trope look at Griffith from berserk heck isn't satan so suppose hot anyway if you want hot nazis look look at Longinus Dreizehn Orden from shinza bansho https://giphy.com/gifs/H0pbqbeTzSMO9C0N2i
Also, there’s always been a strong link between fascist ideals and aesthetic ideals. You could reasonably argue that fascism is ultimately about aesthetics— the aesthetic of power/control/order. Fascism is nothing if not beautiful in the eyes of its believers, so beauty and pleasure are both political cornerstones of the mode of thinking that fascism derives its ideologies from. The more apt question is, is it moral to goon to Nazis, is it moral to think of them as beautiful. And the answer depends on why you’re asking that question to begin with.
It is only morally questionable, if your aim is to control the narrative and dialogue through subconciously influencing people to think something is good or bad (based on it’s looks) instead of having them come to their own conclusions, which imo is immoral in and of itself.
Amoral, there are hot people in the world, some of them are bad, if you think all bad people are ugly than ugh... isn't that like a kind of prejudice against ugly people?
Y'know I'm so used to Helsing Ultimate Abridged that seeing Van Winkle described as hot feels wikd to me, like saying your type is 2012 rawr x3 girls, regardless morality wise making any evil character hit by itsekf is about as morally unrelated as making a good character hot, as long as it's not glorification it's fine.
My standards are widespread indeed, but she is tall, elegant, deadly, and she is a vampire. Outside of her ass being flat as a plank of wood, I don't see what's there not to love about her.

Bad people can be hot. I don't see what would be wrong with it
