If i had a katana from Japanese imperial officer from 1943, would it raise as many questions? What about if i had a full officer's uniform? The Japanese military killed many, many more Chinese people than Nazis killed.
What about if i had Russian bolshevik uniform items from the revolution timeframe?
What about if i tried to sell an American cavalry hat from 1860? Would that be okay to sell?
The mods seem to be accepting as long as it falls within the current policies and that seems pretty fair. But since people are raising eyebrows I'm curious about where the peanut gallery (me included) wants that line drawn.
Are the actions of the Nazis against the Jews worse than the actions of the Jews against Christians in early 20th century Russia?
Are the actions of the Jewish bolsheviks against christians in Russia worse than the actions of American Christians against the Indians in the 19th century?
Are the actions of the American christians in the 19th century worse than the actions of the Comanche against other indian tribes?
Where is the line drawn? If someone can't sell Nazi stuff, can i not sell a comanche headdress? A person of Sioux lineage might get triggered? Can i not sell a zippo from WW2 because a person of Japanese descent might feel bad feelings that Americans bombed his family? And if there's going to be a line, where should the line be drawn about what's gadgets and gear and what's not? A playstation is okay but not a book? Brand new work boots are okay but not uniform boots from WW1?
This is an interesting topic and I'm just looking for civil discussion. I think the mods are doing a fine job and am not questioning their current stance.
"Memorabilia"?
