We lost nice people during the COVID waves instead of her. It isn't right. (lemmy.world)

It's a great example of why you shouldn't get a tattoo of something that is intellectual property. It's way too easy for that shit to get associated with bigots/hatred/etc down the line.

Another example: I'd love to eventually get a Star Trek tattoo. I can see the suits at CBS eventually burning the IP to the ground, sure. But they probably wouldn't turn anything Star Trek related into a hate symbol. But what happens if it turns out that neo-nazis start using ferengi imagery to spread anti-semetic hate? You can't guarantee your favorite skin art keeps the ethical values or meaning over the entirety of your life.

I've seen quite a few people with the old Carlsberg logo tattooed on their bodies. Imagine being a beer lover only to discover people think you're a Nazi. /s

I don't have to imagine. I'm a bald white man. People think I'm a cop or a Nazi. I'm the opposite. My only tattoo turns out to be used by Nazis as a symbol. Not commonly but I have seen it.

I go to Lowe's a lot for work supplies. Workers there commonly tell me I'm forgetting my veteran's discount. I have never been in the military. It's crazy how people just try to put you in a bucket.
