some folks really out here believe someone can accidentally get a Nazi SS tattoo. that's not something that happens for many reasons.
I don't know why there's a debate about the man at this point. Toss him in the bin and move on.

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.

“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

🌈 Atmospheric sapphic mystery set from autumn to Christmas 🍂❄️

Full of secrets and suspense. An icy lady of the manor. A cast of characters all intertwined in a small town. Ace rep.

I need more people who do not have tattoos to understand that this is the most accurate take I've seen of this situation.

getting a nazi tattoo is a whole diff level of commitment. Its not nasty thoughts & it's not even dropping a slur, bad as that is, you gotta literally sit there for hours while someone sequentially stabs you, powering through the pain motivated only by the joy of eventually having nazi branded skin

Indigenous people, queer people, transgender people and on and on. Any time I make room for more, my life has been better for it. Why wouldn't you want to include MORE JOY, MORE LOVE!?

The alternative is utter nonsense.

I really don't understand any of the people who are so fucking insistent on limited their lives and exclude people. I have never been disappointed with taking care to INCLUDE everyone.
