(edit: to above. Phallic culture is particularly strong in the northern parts of Norway, we celebrate it as something to be proud of. An ancient tome to spring as a force of nature. If you see white stones erected they are, well you catch my drift. If someone around these parts calls you a horse-cock in a nice manner, you have a good friend. It is actually legal to reference a policeman as hestkuk, but that would be contempt for the law elsewhere, : ) Pretty sure it also is to do with who is saying it, as this does not at all translate well to other languages, or dialects of Norwegian. Maybe similar to how the icelandics are a more brutal and savage norwegians. Its all good fun though )
I dont presonally like guilt by assosiation, but especially when its the shaming of my culture.
Seeing things in a very shallow and one dimensional way is very ok. Leaving just as shallow comments is also fine. However giving credence to abstract notions by way of justifying ignorance is not ok. Its very skin-holy as we say. (accuse of what you are guilty of yourself) Hypocritical irony perhaps. Projective self loathing?
Different things have different precedence in different parts of the world, maybe even the same things, maybe we are all different when it comes down to it, i like to think of this as a good thing. The world isnt black and white, but it can be a scary place if all you see is one or the other, to stare oneself blind as the saying goes.
In sharing my culture its an offer of mutual respect. A horse-cock joke can have the best of intentions, similarly making yourself the butt of that joke is where the problem arises. Not to say there is such an elephant in the room, but if you are in a room where you think there is an elephant, that can be just as daunting, maybe even moreso. Maybe someone telling you there isnt just makes the problem you have worse. Maybe the mere mention of elephants is unsettling, but look, that isnt the context here, yet you are thinking of elephants. No, try not to? Any argument is just as elephant-valid, you are thinking elephant, right now. Big tusk. We see where this is going.
Presenting things in a context, may be out of context. Its all a slippery slope of saying this is that, but maybe it isnt. A perspective is where you chose to look, but maybe deeper meaning is more deeply rooted?
It isn't "the Germans" jumping on the norse branch of the world tree, this is the other way around, a Norseman branching out and sharing his culture.
If you create a problem, then you have a problem, I am ok with that, but saying others are to blame when they aren't is circular logic. It justifies
only the type of mindset it seems people are opposed to in doing so...
Saying ED cant use it because hes German is very much a way of thinking that is overshadowing the message im sending. We have a common history, a culture of dragons, mystery, knowledge.
Lets take a different approach. Widen your perspective to accommodate getting different ideas into your head. Even if wrong, its the mark of a great mind to be able to entertain a thought, without succumbing to it. As aristoteles said on one of his good days at work.
Many things probably were lost in translation here and there, and I'm probably insensitive
to some things meaning "i think" or raising whatever issues one can come up with in the best of interest.
Its ok to think any logo of mine is aggressive, it is not so ok to pass that off as implying its because ancient runes are aggressive. That is substantiating someting subjective, and in this case a projection of subjective truths to be not only valid, as a personal thing, but true, in a broader sense. The latter i think is wrong. Especially when its a rewriting of established precedence.
Objectively they aren't (i think), based on what runes represent by themselves. That point I feel more-so inclined to defend that point than my own work.
Precedence is also about initial meaning, original intent. Things are however, if you see it that way, what _you_ think of them as. "Das ding für mich" ^^
With that in mind, I am interested, what runes, if any is it people see? What is it people see, in general? I am very appreciative of such feedback.
TL;DR You are free to see what you want.
