I know,I was being over dramatic.

@The Last Reviewer  
You do realize all he did was paint the wood right? A field strip and an hour or so of soaking in stripper will have it good as new again.

And there goes a piece of history ruined,who ever did this should be ashamed of themselves.

@NounVerb  
I know, right? You can always get another wife, but 98Ks are irreplaceable these days.

@Background Pony #264F  
Because an object is a person, and a person is an object?
 
I think you’ve got some very warped priorities there.

Saying “it’s his gun, he can do whatever he wants with it” is kinda like seeing a man skin his wife alive and saying “it’s his wife, he can do whatever he wants with her.”

@Background Pony #56C9  
I mentioned in an earlier comment that it’s a crappy replica deserving of such a fate. You can calm your jimmies now.

WHAT DID YA DO TO THAT MAUSER dear lord. im a brony but still ya do not do that too piece of history.

@A-T-S  
/pol/ is the new /b/, where the edgelords go to try to be as blatantly offensive as possible, and to argue about anything political.
 
Problems happen when the /pol/ shit bleeds over to other parts of the site. It’s one of the newer boards, after all.

@MacDougal  
Oh thank god. This would be worse than bubbaizing a real old rifle.
 
@mathprofbrony  
Yeah, we know about your kind, and how hateful you are.

@mathprofbrony  
“significant racism, but not Nazism”  
Phew,i’m rassured,instead of the plague,we have the cholera

@mathprofbrony  
Pretty much this, there’s really nothing preventing people from posting on multiple boards, and prior to the coming of 8chan /pol/ was easily the most populous on 4chan, and it’s not hard to see that it’s where most of the naziboos on /k/ came from.

@NounVerb
 
There’s probably a good deal of crossover between /pol/ and /k/. The boards aren’t fenced off, after all. But you’re correct that it’s not openly going on in the responses listed in this image. A quick glance at the current /k/ front page shows some pretty significant racism, but not Nazism.

@A-T-S  
I might believe you if you were talking about /pol/, but /k/ is definitely one of the cooler boards.
 
If they’re so nazi inclined, then why doesn’t the screenshot include any nazi glorification? The third reich was a historical event wherein a certain political contingent of a country tried setting up a new empire, and fucked things up for a good chunk of the rest of the world.
 
That’s a pretty important thing that happened in history.
 
The argument in the screenshot that is presented is arguing based on the fact that they thought this was a 70-year-old artifact.

@NounVerb  
You’ve never been to 4chan if you seriously think the majority of those nazis are just “history enthusiasts”, not to mention that even if it wasn’t a reproduction gun (it was):
 

@mathprofbrony  

History enthusiasts are now Nazi-glorifiers? As opposed to, what?
 
Actually read the complaint. They’re upset that what they think is a historical artefact was painted over and decorated. Kind of like someone taking some old antique pottery and just using that as a spice jar to hold their salt and pepper.
 
I think the end result of the painting looks nice enough, given the photo quality we have to work with, but I’d be miffed if I thought that something from a limited pool of items (things that were used in WW2 and thus were involved in significant historical events) was being irreversibly altered on a whim.
 
Kind of like hearing about a certain colour of brown paint that was supposedly made with real ground-up mummies.
 
Sometimes, historical value of items is something people get passionate about.

@MacDougal  
can you link me some of those?

I’ve seen this copypasta before. Turns-out the gun was one of those replica knockoffs that was deserving of such a fate. At least with the good pone’d guns our fellow /k/ommandos actually put work into it instead of this.

Wow those comments. It’s just a decal. Bet they would not be complaining if it was . . . well pretty much any other franchise on it.

@mathprofbrony  
they are “genuinely upset”, i’m delighted XD

…I normally hate ponying guns. But to enjoy the butthurt of Nazi-glorifying 4chan trolls, I’ll allow this one.

Yes, let the salt flow!

its your gun you can do whatever you want with it… k98 from the third riech?? lol what a loser, her couldn’t beat eggs, stupid 4chan gremlin
