Is it the evil they committed and still perpetuate to this day? Most likely, sure but the legacy of evil men and women can be found outside of Nazism and its dregs everywhere in modern soceity. Is it perhaps not wanting to idolize them in a way under the term 'Heroic Spirts'? Also fair, however, we all know at this point astoundingly evil men and history have made their way to the Throne and unfortunately you don't really need to be a 'hero' to be on said Throne? Or is it how many people typically present these people in their sheets themselves?
Is it perhaps the amount of evil, death and misery they perpetuated in life and in history? Of course, this is also valid. But what of other even men and women that has have sheets made of them on this server and perhaps haven't at this point. Stalin? Mao? Hell, Genghis Khan as it were mentioned have no similar 'soft' ban from what I can tell and yet if we were to look at mere death counts, those three men killed more people and arguably lead to more suffering than those inflected by Hitler and his entourage. And I say this not to diminish in anyway the atrocities committed by Hitler and those under him. That's not my point. But what I mean to say is: Why can't you do a Nazi sheet if you are writing them as the monsters, they are without necessarily giving spotlight these people or "worship" as I assume some might fear. Presenting them as monsters and only monsters without diminishing or tarnishing the memory of the victims, if one were to execute that sheet well, should be fine, correct? And I'll freely admit I might be playing devil's advocate in the eyes of some, but this is mostly me coming at this from me being a history major, and I tend to or at least try to look at subjects objectively.
