At least tag the artist. Come On

It’s complicated.
Nazi lives do not matter - in case that was not a given!
It is not. She used nazy card for business purposes directly as stated in the comic, come on.
A comic is not necessarily a good source. The BBC mostly is. #flamewar.
Just offering some information. I 💯 don’t defend Nazi. Nazi lives do NOT matter.
I was curious to find out more. Found an article and shared it. Please don’t give me grief over that. Or you can if you want, I ain’t your supervisor.
Wait, who is my supervisor?
It’s not very complicated. Coco Chanel was a nazi collaborator.
At the same time she was allegedly helping out the resistance (Iirc from BtB). Reality was she was very antisemitic but also kind of played everyone.
I give one third of my disposable income to charity at the end of every week, I also berate my daughter and don’t allow her to go out of the house by herself because I think she’s an absolute whore for talking to the negro children at her school.
Am I a good person?
Sounds like a capitalist to me.
Can someone explain the joke to me?
The way I understand it, fashion icon Coco Chanel, used to say that she would look in the mirror one final time and remove one accessory before heading out.
Coco was also a Nazi intelligence agent during WWII.
So the comic works like this:
The blond girl is unsure about her accessories being too many, her friend brings up Coco Chanel making it appear as if she was going to bring up Coco’s theory of accessories, but pivots to talk about Coco’s Nazi views, this is done to show that Coco was a terrible person, and to not worry about the amount of accessories the blond girl was wearing, telling her that she looks fine.
Oh i see, thank you!
Subverting expectations and societal demands on women
(Chanel both invented the modern concept of the little black dress and has a famous quote about accessories that amounts to wear less of them than you want to… And she’s a Nazi so fuck her opinions on everything)
Thank you too
Doesn’t matter that it’s posted twice in a day, I can happily stare at these two some more, and the joke couldn’t be repeated too many times these days.
…and HUGO BOSS designed the uniforms…
As explained in previous istance of the same cartoon here, hb designed nothing, it’s two ss dudes just plagiarized some american cops outfits.
Now we all cant look badass like that because some nazis stole and cursed this look. Fuck damn nazies!
…just stood by and produced the outfits, eh?..
Merely stood by as an active member of the party, donated money to it, employed at least 140 forced labourers and filled the company with managers who were big fans of the party.
