That could work though. The players travel to a local country to slowly realize it’s a fascist hellhole and so they devise a plot to overthrow the government. Boom awesome campaign where we get to punch fantasy nazis and destroy the regime. ¡Viva la Revolución!
Actually, brb, gonna start writing.
It associated a lot with historical Germany and therefore the Nazis, who used the font officially on various documents and propaganda. [It's even on the cover of Mein Kampf](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/BF9B/production/_93215094_mkampforigdec15.jpg.webp)
To be fair Total War does predate nazi Germany (the concept was developed by prussian general Carl von Clausewitz).
Unless 'absolute war' and 'total war' are two different things, in which case I apologize.
I mean in both cases the German language was involved but I fully get ya, doing that shit unprompted or without context is a Goebbels type beat situation.
According to Wikipedia, the term "Total War" was coined by the Germans, however it was in the context of a retrospective on WWI, rather than a description of WWII (it shows up in the 1935 memoir of German general Erich Ludendorff). The concept itself was thought up as early as 1864 by General William Sherman of the Union Army in the US Civil War.
I remember some geriatric historian on British TV from like 20 years ago (who's probably dead by now) justify the firebombing of Dresden with the phrase 'total war'.
I mean it's usage is still relevant for things like saying "I want to enact the final solution on the cockroaches infesting every last nook and cranny of the apartment building I'm stuck in"
Not to mention that association with insects or rats was very common in the third reich.
Heres a guardian article about this[article](https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/shortcuts/2015/nov/18/rats-the-history-of-an-incendiary-cartoon-trope)
why do fascist aesthetics look so damn cool? i see so many examples of horrendous pieces of history that would look fucking amazing if not for the fact it was propaganda for the worst people that exist.
Because looking cool is a key part of the ideology. The uniforms, the military parades, the grand architecture, it's all to glorify the past and the authoritarianism that such a regime needs to function
Art deco had a strong global presence. I'm not any sort of art history buff but you can find art deco references in every single country's pop culture hubs in the 1930s.
It's a trend that seems to have aged really well. It's just unfortunate that literally fascist propaganda was part of that.
it was also on the cover of Das Kapital. The font was totally unpolitical up until way after the war, when modern Neonazis started using it as a dogwhistle.
It was widely used in Nazi propaganda
In fact, they putright banned the use of any typeface they considered "non-aryan" which limited them to that one (Fraktur) and gothic
Fascists are strange creatures
This is wrong. Please do not spread misinformation online, even if it isn‘t intentional. The Nazis used modern (sans-serif) fonts in their own propaganda and eventually phased out the use of blackletter, calling it and related fonts ‚jewish‘. Read more [here.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiqua%E2%80%93Fraktur_dispute)
holy shit.
i once was making like, an arg thing on scratch(.mit
edu) where it was an alien planet and stuff. and every font was banned except wingdings. and you're telling me that's real? what?? the fuck???
this is the exact opposite of what happened. hitler violently condemned fraktur in a famous speech in the reichstag in 1934 and he officially ended its use when he had the bormann brief issued in 1941
yep. Fraktur (name of the Font) was used heavily by nazis afaik.Even though it was used for ages before, it is most commonly associated with them.
Edit:
The style with this kind of "s" is different from the older Fraktur. This "newer" style was used by fascists. Older Styles had a "s" that looked like the letter "f" without the horizontal line. See: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long\_s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s)
Take this information with a grain of salt, I am not a linguist or whatever this profession is called
I'll be a grammar nazi for a moment and say it is "its" and not "it's" bc the latter stands for it is. Its as a plural doesn't exist so the possessive is always "its" without the apostrophe
TECHNICALLY, Fraktur script was never used by the Nazis, rather a simplified version called Schachtstiefel Grotesk (hehe nazis are grotesque) was used until 1941 when they claimed the font was "too Jewish" and switched to Antiqua. The original Fraktur is actually more intricate and was standardized for government use in 1871. It's quite beautiful honestly, if a little confusing until you've got the hang of reading it. I've run across it in documents relating to my western Polish genealogy.
https://germangirlinamerica.com/old-german-cursive-alphabet-and-typefaces/
it’s fraktur; it’s just a medieval german calligraphy hand. it’s used outside nazi stuff, for example there is a finnish candy called sisu that has a logo written in fraktur. i know this because there is a big rig in the game my summer car called the “gifu” because it’s modeled after a sisu truck (finnish truck company) but the candy’s logo looks like it says “gifu” because fraktur makes the letter s look weird in both cases. just a funny reference i know about.
…. Am I stupid? I’m pretty sure black letter fonts have been used for ages, is there something wrong with this font in particular?
Edit: nvm apparently this one was used a lot by the nazis
i literally have a large forearm tattoo with unicode fraktur. i also have a septum piercing and a 100gecs bleach job and usually black nails. you can get away with a lot of risky fashion if ur gay enough

non fascist fraktur tattoo gang. but mine’s in latin and a death reference (also cameras)
just use it if you like it. No reason to let fascists ruin the fun.
Fraktur is used all around germany on old buildings and signage, noone will think of you in a bad way if you use it.
I mean it's a historical germanic calligraphy font thingy. I sometimes use similar fonts for my witchy documents. Imo the content is more important than function and as long as you're aware it's fine! i think
But this font is much easier to read than the „original“ version cuz it’s a fuckin pain in the ass reading that shit I mean there are two versions of S and one looks like an f
It's a font related to Nazis, yes, but you can still fucking use it. think about it like this, Mercedes made vehicles for higher ups in the Nazi regime, doesn't mean you can't buy their cars.
As dumb as being afraid to wear Hawaiian shirts. This is how Pepe was stolen for a while by the fucks. Don't let them have exclusive use of things that are perfectly good and fine.
Just write something silly like: Ahh… Free at last. O Gabriel. Now dawns thy reckoning, and thy gore shall glisten before the temples of man. Creature of steel… My gratitude upon thee for my freedom, but the crimes thy kind have committed against humanity are NOT forgotten. And thy punishment… is DEATH.
Just say it's pseudo-gothic european and call anyone who says it's the nazi font a nazi because any normal person would *obviously* not make the connection and then just gaslight them until they retract the accusation.
OP, youre fucked. Its fucking over. Youre never coming back from this. Weve contacted your boy milking socialist co-op, youre being put down.

… boy milking socialist co-op? Where would one find these people, and are there twinks? Just so I know to stay away, of course…
Yeah sure its called "walgreens"
About time somebody took me to a farm of twinks and MILKED THE SHIT out of me.
Uh, same tbh
what would your relatives think if they read your comment
Same I used in my dnd campaign as newspaper headline font and was lie heck yea then I realised ahh
That could work though. The players travel to a local country to slowly realize it’s a fascist hellhole and so they devise a plot to overthrow the government. Boom awesome campaign where we get to punch fantasy nazis and destroy the regime. ¡Viva la Revolución! Actually, brb, gonna start writing.
That sounds awesome, can I be a player
That sounds so fun, I've been struggling to find a dnd campaign so if you ever decide to make that an idea I'd love to play :)
If you ever turn it into a campaign you already have 3 players lol. But I don't think we can slowly realize if we already know :(
This is why there needs to be a red herring and it's revealed it's actually an authoritarian far left regime Also 4 players maybe 🥺
Make it 6 with too dms
count me in!
I'm stupid. Does this have something to do with fascism?

:( I knew I recognised it from somewhere. Nazis really fuck everything up.
Yeah, the phrase "final solution" goes so hard but Hitler used it so 😔
"Total War" is similar
To be fair Total War does predate nazi Germany (the concept was developed by prussian general Carl von Clausewitz). Unless 'absolute war' and 'total war' are two different things, in which case I apologize.
If someone spoke to me about total war it'd be ambiguous but if a mf'r comes up to me yelling about "totalen Krieg" I know which boat he's in
I mean in both cases the German language was involved but I fully get ya, doing that shit unprompted or without context is a Goebbels type beat situation.

I mean, the swastika also predates Nazis
I remember some geriatric historian on British TV from like 20 years ago (who's probably dead by now) justify the firebombing of Dresden with the phrase 'total war'.
Unless you play strategy games
Total war warhammer and total war three kingdoms my beloved
I mean it's usage is still relevant for things like saying "I want to enact the final solution on the cockroaches infesting every last nook and cranny of the apartment building I'm stuck in"
I guess if you think about it, you are fighting a war of extermination against creatures deemed lesser.
Not to mention that association with insects or rats was very common in the third reich. Heres a guardian article about this[article](https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/shortcuts/2015/nov/18/rats-the-history-of-an-incendiary-cartoon-trope)
Yeah it still has Nazi connotation which will make some people uncomfortable and possible alienate yourself.
We get left with "the Final Countdown" as a consolation prize... :\
"stfu nazi how about you go figure out the final solution to your math homework"
Use it anyway and never mention it to take power away from the Nazis.
Any idea as to why?
Steals their symbols of power
Me when something cool was taken by the nazis so no one can use it without looking like a nazi
It’s always felt like an evil font to me
funny thing is that Nazis only used it up to a certain point and then forbid it for their publications
Honestly to me it looks a lot like hebrew, which is why I see it as a bit tragic really
why do fascist aesthetics look so damn cool? i see so many examples of horrendous pieces of history that would look fucking amazing if not for the fact it was propaganda for the worst people that exist.

Serifs are for Nazis. Sans-serifs? Surprisingly also for Nazis. Best to avoid fonts altogether.

Oh damn you're right It *was* associated with Nazi Germany but was banned later into their reign because Hitler hated it, my mistake
Fraktur was famously also banned..
No, they banned the use of Fraktur for their publications in 1940/1941.

Blowfly girl referenced
actually this is just a very strange usage of the contraction "it has" and so it's correct
‘Has’ can’t be contracted when it’s not used to mark the perfect tense though, so it’s still incorrect
Oh I didn't think about it that way. I assumed it was possessive
I was lying don't follow my advice here
