People need to get over it

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: YES

I don't believe that this product would offend all holocaust survivors. The developer is obviously not trying to hurt anyone by the use of the title and icon. Today, a 'nazi' is commonly used colloquially to refer to anyone with severe anal retentive issues regarding something. It's rather silly that some of you are flipping out because he decided to use the name, it reminds me of those wizards in the Harry Potter books who prefer to say "You Know Who".

If you are offended by the title and icon of this product, you simply need to get over it. The developer is not trying to offend anyone and obviously does not condone any of the Nazi's actions, he's simply using the word as it's commonly used colloquially among friends. To me this shows that he had originally respected his user community enough to trust them not to flip out, and many of you have proved that you are incapable of taking this in an adult-like manner, choosing instead to complain about something not worth complaining. He treated you like a friend and you let him down.

The fact that the term Nazi can be used in such a joking manner today is a good sign; it shows that the idea of Nazism is so absurd to today's population that it can be used as a joke.

Oh yeah, not to mention I'm sure that the developer's grateful for the publicity resulting from your complaints. :-)

Sure, as long as the jokes are tasteful. The jokes are never about people laughing at those who died, those would be worthy of your b*tching. The ability to laugh about these things shows good mental health among people; it's wrong to dwell on such things and cringe whenever someone says "Bin Laden", that is what's indicative of an immature mind.

I wish you were right, but I'm afraid you are not. Did you try and tell your opinion to one of the new Nazis in East Germany of 2006?
