I can’t understand why they are upset and labeling them as Nazis. Do they know what Nazis are?
Those VK bands only think that the uniforms looks nice and that’s it.

Funny, on WGT (big Gothic festival in Leipzig) there are always a lot of people wearing very similar outfits, even ones that are even closer to SS uniforms in how they are designed… sure, there are people complaining about that as well, but it#s a thing for more than 20 years now (ongoing). Twitter VK fans better not come to WGT or M’era Luna festival (also in Germany), or they will get a stroke.
Before you get me wrong, I am not a big fan of these pseudo Nazi-inspired uniforms myself, living in Austria and all of that… but also, not every uniform is automatically a proof that someone’s a fascist and I kinda “get” why fantasy (that is, non-existing in any official army) uniforms have become a thing in certain subcultures, like BDSM, punk, etc.
Is it tasteless? Maybe. But not proof that Gertena are fascist trash - they are not wearing “real” Wehrmacht uniforms or NSDAP regalia / symbols, that would indeed get them into troubles with the law. In the end they are sporting fictional uniforms vaguley reminiscent of SS uniforms - which has been done to death, even in Germany (post WWII).
Ideally, just to evade offending anyone they should wear different costumes when coming over to Germany, but still, they are not bad people for having them, nor are they doing aything illegal. Would be different if they wear real SS uniforms (which old VK bands def did) and start talking about genociding people on stage… then I think cancelling them into oblivion would be appropriate.

Go and fight on Twitter if you want to discuss the uniforms.
Some people will learn, others don’t, bands are not excluded from that principle.
And now to the friendly reminder again, that we have a strict no politics rule.
Which is why I deleted each and every response after my initial post. You’re welcome.
