    I know it’s very likely innocent

    But “fren” will always be a huge red flag parade for me

          Lmao, by that logic you wouldnt be able to use any 3-5 letter words because every one of those probably has some acronym associated with it, that means something bad.

            I don’t think Nazis are actively using every acronym, c’mon you know that’s silly.

            They use this one though.

            It’s like saying 1844 isn’t a bad number, because numbers aren’t bad—unfortunately more often than not, when you see it, it’s not used innocently.

          I have literally never run into that until now. That seems like a dog whistle pitched so high, not even rodents can hear it.

            Well I’m happy for you, but that doesn’t change that Nazis are using it as a dog whistle. And FWIW I’m unfortunate enough to know it’s not even a particularly niche one—it’s been pretty popular with edgelords for a few years now
