Garry's mod wrestles with the complexities of just outright banning Nazi stuff

Soldier's re-enacting Operation Barbarossa in Garry's mod.

Eighty years later the shadow of World War 2 still looms large over our world, and remains an enduring obsession for some, but on one thing nearly all are agreed: The Nazis were complete pricks, and any contemporary hint of their ideology and symbolism must be met with the greatest possible pushback.

That's easier said than done, however, because distinguishing between legitimate use of these things (such as representing the Nazis accurately in an entertainment product) and Actual Nazis is difficult. It's not helped by the fact that 'Nazi' has also become a go-to online insult and is often used to describe things that bear little relation to the National Socialist German Worker's Party.
