Knowing full well how symbols can affect people. We made sure to remove any Swastikas on this suit.. They are all Iron Crosses (similar to the SS statue..).
We are costumers, and we never want to dredge up nasty feelings on purpose.. Just have fun in a hobby that we both love..
That being said..
The first time Chris wore this at SDCC.. Funny story..
I inadvertently pissed off some guy in the elevator down to the con. We stepped into the elevator which was filled with about 12 people, Chris was in his Red Skull.
I hear from the guy next to me, "thanks dude, I'm Jewish."
Reading the sarcasm in his voice, I guessed that he was joking.. So without missing a beat, I reply, "It's cool dude, we're selling ovens.."
Crickets
Hmm.. Maybe he wasn't kidding..
I felt so bad..
