Appears to be people taking something that should be funny way to seriously too, which is normal.
May his memory be a blessing.
Willem Arondéus (22 August 1894 – 1 July 1943) was a Dutch artist and author who joined the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II. He participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazi German effort to identify Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. Arondéus was caught and executed soon after his arrest. Yad Vashem recognized Arondéus as Righteous Among the Nations.
Their attack, which took place on 27 March 1943, was partially successful, and they managed to destroy 800,000 identity cards, and retrieve 600 blank cards and 50,000 guilders. The building was blown up and no one was caught on the night of the attack. However, due to an unknown betrayer, Arondéus was arrested on 1 April 1943. Arondéus refused to give up the rest of his team.
Arondéus was openly gay before the war and defiantly asserted his sexuality before his execution. His final words were:
"Tell the people that homosexuals are not by definition weak."
From Wikipedia
He was also a pretty great artist

ppl really act like things they did and believed as teenagers shouldn't follow them at all period but like. if they've grown and become a better person and whatnot that's great I'm happy for them or whatever but they contributed to literal harm and hate and like fostered those ideologies that literally kill people and like... none of those people are required to forgive you, and if you really grew you would understand that. some might choose to but many won't and that's just. a reasonable consequence to having extreme and harmful beliefs, even if you were just a teenager when you did them

right like as people have already pointed out, why are we showing sympathy to people who had a teenage nazi phase and not, idk, their jewish peers who had to deal with that shit?
