    FUCK THE NAZI TATTOO. The CIA experimented on people like the NAZIs and it was all over the news but no one gives a fuck. Platner had a platform FOR THE PEOPLE and had some bullshit tattoo. Everything about Platner’s past and the media frenzy was he/said-she/said. Everyone believing the media immediately is a fucking moron.

      Sorry… are you claiming that the CIA are the ones who put a totenkopf on his chest for 20 years? And then covered it up with celtic imagery that is ALSO associated with white supremacy?

      Because… I’mma be honest? I would totally invoke St Dril by giving them props for pulling that off.

      Everything about Platner’s past and the media frenzy was he/said-she/said.

      Actually, up until a few months ago (well, apparently much longer if you were in the women’s groups on facebook et al that warned about dangerous men), it was mostly “he said”. With the “he” being platner himself.

      Or was that also the CIA?

      Wait. Dog. IS PLATNER A ROBOT?!?!?!?!?! Is he like the mech suit from Men in Black 1 and if we flick his ear just right then we’ll see he is piloted by a tiny Christian Slater?
