>>719396560
Thats thors hammer, nothing racist about that you retard

It's racist to my fucking eyes

>>719396631
I had read somewhere it's used by neo-nazis, however

>>719396560
Thors Hammer - Thor the thunder god in Nordic Mythology.
His hammer, Mjölner, symbolizes power and energy.
In the folklore, he is rumbling across the sky, making thunder with his hammer.

>>719396725
Fuck that, you moron. It was used by the vikings and its not racist

Gah! The stupidity hurts.

>>719396725
sure. It can express nordic power and scandinavian pride if you want it to. Just like the croos for KKK, and the swastika for nazis. It can be what you want it to be, its just a fucking symbol.

>>719396560
Kinda looks like a dick and balls before I voiced I.

>>719396725
if anything anyone ever used to be racist is of limits you can say goodbye to every country flag for starters. So no that hammer isn't racist.

Why don't you just Google neo-nazi symbols, might give you a better idea

Thors hammer doesnt have anything to do with racism the fucking nazis stole many religios Symbols from other cultures the Nazi Cross is just the maias Symbol for their sun god mirrored the Symbol that was used by the SS was stolen from the vikings i hate it when someone is doing something this unrespectful thats just disgusting and unethical

1. it's a symbol widely used by neo-nazis around the world. it's not illegal, but chances are, if you see a skinhead with a thor's hammer tattoo, you'll most likely find a swastika, or black sun hidden underneath his clothes.

2. there are an infinite amount of symbols you can get as a tattoo. you can even choose many nordic symbols that are not used by neo-nazis, if you really want to show everyone how much of a trve metalhead you are.

3. you have to be an idiot to choose one of the symbols that are widely considered as an identification of neo-nazis. nazis stole symbols and used it for their fucked ideology, you can't change that.

so if you want to explain to every second person with common sense, why you picked one of the most ambivalent symbols as a tattoo, go ahead. it's a shitty tattoo, regardless of the ideology that hijacked it.

>>719402132
Holy shit sanity on b

>>719402132
You can be labeled as a racist for any reason. If some tattoo design captivates your eye, just fucking get it inked. No reason to be afraid of the opinions of idiots who cant think anythin out for themselves.

Some time ago some researchers were racist for doing genetic mapping in europe. They were trying to figure out the bloodlines of vikings.

>>719402604
i don't think you understood me. this isn't something that's up for discussion or interpretation.

if you get a thor's hammer tattoo, you're one of the following:
- uninformed
- stupid
- a neo-nazi

and you're a person with bad taste as well.

that's it. there is no real difference to getting a swastika tattoo, other than that being illegal in many parts of the world.

>>719402132
>if you want to explain to every second person with common sense
>with common sense
Mistaking something from an old mythology as a racist symbol isn't common sense. At all.
Especially from something as well-known as norse mythology.

Yes, hate groups and whatnot have used certain symbols for their own purposes, but that doesn't magically undo their actual origins.

Considering and dealing with the consequences of a tattoo is sensible and good, but people who don't know what the fuck something actually means should have no authority over it.

>>719396560
Bait.

>>719403228
Sure, with that logic any symbol is racis since it's usually tied to a nation.

>and you're a person with bad taste as well.

Since when people ink themselves to please others?

>>719403330
>but people who don't know what the fuck something actually means should have no authority over it.
but they do. and you have to accept that, because you can't change it.

an example for clearing things up:
you meet 100 people, all of them having a thor's hammer tattoo.
65 of them are neo-nazis, 45 are also nordic enthusiasts (20 of them neo-nazis) and 10 just like the symbol.
so you have:
45 "pure" neo-nazis
20 nordic enthusiast neo-nazis
25 nordic enthusiast non neo-nazis
10 idiots who just wanted a "cool" tattoo

how do you differ the 35 non neo-nazis from the rest? they mostly look the same, somewhere between metalhead and skinhead, mostly white trash.

most respectable tattoo-artists don't even tattoo you this shit. so you'll have to get some low-tier artist, or someone who has no problem with tattooing neo-nazi-ish symbols.

so why the fuck don't you just get any other tattoo?

>>719396560

And nazis used/use the swatiska which originally is a sacred symbol in Hinduism.
Your point?

>>719397228
This. The wearer could be neo-nazi, or just neo-pagan. Or they could just be interested in Norse history. Or they could just think it looks cool. It's not inherently racist like SS runes or the words "white power", it has a long history that predates its occasional use by skinheads

So you didn't come here to ask if mjolnir is racist, you came to preach that it is? No one is buying it.

>>719404005
It's the neonazis who are the dipshits here. Thinking the god of thunder's hammer is a valid symbol of white supremacy is extraordinarily retarded.
And anybody who agrees with this is also fucking stupid to an unusual degree.

Tattoo-artists refuse because they consider it racists? Holy shit...

Your example has no meaning as the whole situation is dumb as fuck.
This is the religion of the vikings. Everybody knows that, and whatever few people think it somehow ties together with white superiority beyond the twisted-up-the-ass logic of neo-nazis don't deserve any recognition.

of course they are, i never denied that. but if you're really into nordic mythology and therefore have to get a tattoo, why not choose among the ones that are not connected to neo-nazis?
do you have some kind of thor's hammer fetish?`

>>719404620
fair enough.

>>719405210
It's motherfuckin' Thor's motherfuckin' hammer. Come on, dude...

>>719405210
Mjolnir is THE symbol of Norse mythology. Worshippers wore amulets of the hammer around their necks. It's like saying "if you're Christian just use a symbol other than the cross because the KKK used the cross"

You seem to be willing to give a lot to the racists

>>719405210
I found some antirasist fag article on this topic. Even they say it isn't tied to nazism.

>>719403330
Even the swastika literally means "symbol of high health"
And most of the world (as in from Murcia on the west to Japan on east) does not consider it as "simply Nazi symbol" but as a symbol fir health and prosperity.

My point is, read thread before posting, simple!

Viking warriors almost never bore the mjolnir, pretty much all archaeological examples such as jewellery were on women and children.

I don't think most people have racist connotation with the mjolnir, more the solar cross and here in norway the raven banner...

No but it might look bit funny if you're weak/fat/other than northern European.

Why?

Because Thor's hammer symbolizes power, might, manliness, courage and strenght. You also have Odal rune in top of that hammer wich is old norse rune for Odal which means heritage. If you don't have heritage around north, and baltic sea then it only makes you look fool.

That's exactly what happened to Pepe, but on a much smaller scale.
The tattoo of Thor's hammer is nothing new. People used to wear it as a necklace to show they were believers in the old religion (as opposed to Christianity, which its practitioners typically wore Crosses)
