Would you look up something if you didn't suspect it was anything more than a random skull and crossbones? Why do you think people told him it was a nazi thing? I dunno this actually seems like a totally feasible story to me, especially when you see how shitty the thing looks.

People are acting like this is a well known symbol but I didn't know it nor has anyone in real life I've talked to about this
