The font resembles it after someone made the connection and put it forward as obvious, but still it is just some extreme connection imo. What are they gonna do next, ban the symbol from history books or popular games like Wolfenstein?

Also, (deep sigh) what does 88 symbolize? Care to inform the "ignorant"?

8th letter of the alphabet (H), twice => short for "Heil Hitler". Very common way for nazis to recognize each other

History is history, so I don't think it's banned from history books as long as it doesn't glorify nazi Germany or engages in revisionism. About videogames though... Until 2018, yes.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I only remember this stuff from my German class and my mom who lived in Germany for a few years in the 70s. Also, read the article. This isn't a legal thing, this is simply a brand trying to avoid getting associated with nazis

Damn, I knew some people born in 1988 pick usernames that ends with 88. Does that mean they're incorrectly identified as Nazi?
