I can see it a little, but you’re overthinking it.

The director wanted his movie to be authentic, the city didn’t want to stir up the past. Director rightfully says ok, I have an alternative. City horrified of how it’s portrayed and folds.

The negative is that the swastika will fly for filming, obviously, promoting (very) indirectly.

That aspect doesn’t make this meme pro-nazi as I see it. The whole point is that a creative wanted something that the decision makers tried to block. The creative does what their name implies and finds a hack to get their vision closer to what ends up on film.

Yeah, it's a lot the meme format and the underlying implication of defeat that makes it feel weird to me. I actually think that they shouldn't have needed the loophole, and on its whole, portraying a negative thing in a negative light is valid. but the meme format puts this in a weird place for me b/c of the implication of defeat
