Dogwhistles: How the Fuck do I Tell if a Pagan I Follow is a Fascist/Racist etc.?
Note: This post is intended as reference and I by no means endorse this content whatsoever. I avoid writing out slurs, but be warned of Nazism and references to violence.This list is by no means exhaustive.
Symbols
🌲Tree emojis and ⛰mountain emojis signal ecofascists (more on that here)
Odinists, not all Nazis but it’s usually the case.
Obsessions with Valhalla, fighting war for ___ religion/against ____ religion, etc. Usually these types have names like “Warrior of Odin” or something, and post macho Viking posts (this fixation contradicting historical evidence that most ancient Norse people were farmers, among other inaccuracies).
“Ethnic”, i.e. ethnic religion, ethnic Hellene, etc.
Echoes: ((( ))) usually used around names or antisemitic stereotypes
Slurs (reclaimed slurs will usually be pretty obvious in contrast to ones used against others), includes censored variants such as replacing Gs with 6s or censoring with asterisks (i.e. f*g), using gay as an insult, etc.
Monarchists, nationalists (usually self-identifying in their bios)
“Aryan”,“Germanic”, “Nordic”, calling a European group a “race” etc.
“Cuck”, as the kink has strong racist tones itself
“Pagang”, “Yang gang”: This is a newer one that I’ve personally noticed recently. Yang refers to Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang.
Rhetoric is more nuanced with some other terms which I won’t get into here. However, who somebody is friends with or regularly replies to is very informative. Scroll through a bit of their following if you can to see if anyone with these indicators is on there. Keep an eye out for these symbols/images/words.

I found this thread and this followup thread to be very true of what I’ve seen online, and also enlightening about the meaning/context of some of these hate symbols.
Anonymous asked: Holy fuck, I saw a painting of that figure?? (Not exactly but similar, this one had a mouse??) In an artists gallery two days ago?? Like the gallery was all original peices (paintings, sculptures, pottery ect) and was somewhere down on the oregon coast
Yeah the original is a popular piece to do alternate versions and mastercopies of with different creatures and fanart. These are some of my favorite ‘Le Chat Noir’ alts
