I have a hard time thinking of Nazis as being sexual attractive, or for that matter, human. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > Then it’s kind of silly for you to judge their hotness, don’t you think? Maybe evaluating the best Hipster Hitler cartoons would get the same effect you’re going for here instead. What would be silly would be for me to offer and opinion on Hipster Hitler cartoons, when, clearly, I have no opinion on Hipster Hitler cartoons. Hitler wasn’t a Field Marshal. Any rating of anything to do with him would be beyond my area of subject matter expertise. The Hipster Hitler cartoon experts here would tear me to shreds in minutes (trust me, they are like sharks) and I would be made to look quite the giddy goat, would’t I? I’ll stick to what I know for now. ---

Maybe evaluating the best Hipster Hitler cartoons would get the same effect you’re going for here instead. By the way, I’m not going for an effect. It’s an opinion, plain and simple. Offered in a forum which encourages such things. It’s not like I have some pro-Bock revisionist agenda against Manstein or Von Kleist. I mean, come on… ---

You aren’t attracted to men, so this is “beyond [your] area of subject matter expertise.” Except you know, as an edgy joke. Hence my suggestion of the Hipster Hitler bit. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > I have a hard time thinking of Nazis as being sexual attractive, or for that matter, human. Sexual attractiveness, on a purely physical scale, has nothing to do with morality. And there are only two real aphrodisiacs- testosterone and power. One has nothing to do with morality, the other usually marks its absence. ---

It’s a joke regardless of how you meant to offer it. Oh, I see. Well, you have your opinions on what I mean as a joke and I have my opinions on the loin stirring qualities of the Wehrmacht’s top movers and shakers. While I don’t assume mine is absolutely considerate of all factors in forming an opinion, I can say with certainty that yours is not. ---

NETA: Welcome to the SDMB, **tarnation&eudemonia**. You have posted (a few times) that you meant this topic seriously. However, answering with what you have and the way you worded the OP makes it seem joking in nature, so I’m moving it to MPSIMS. It’s the better place for it. I’d also like to take this time to let you know that saying things just to get reactions isn’t taken lightly here, you’re either serious or you’re not. You say you’re serious, but the OP and your subsequent posts in here seem to say otherwise, so know that it’s against the rules here to try to stir up things for reactions. Jokey threads are fine, as long as they are acted as such.
