You are a nazi if you roleplay as them and try to pass off the red armband as an aesthetic fashion choice, which is basically what a ship skin amounts to

I wouldn't go that far. Roleplay and agreeing/believing an ideology are not even remotely the same. You can roleplay as a Nazi without actually believing in the ideology. By your logic any actor who ever played a Nazi on any media is a Nazi. Which is a stretch. Then you have the people who have played any game that has Nazis in it and a Nazi campaign. Hey, in Wolfenstein you pretend to be a Nazi, does that mean everyone who played that game (a game about killing Nazis) is a Nazi?
I can see wanting to RP as XT for the challenge that comes with siding with them. But... I mean... It's 100% fictional. You can't be prejudiced against the Banu, Tevarin, Xi'an, Vanduul, or any of the Xenos in SC cause you know they aren't real. You can't be a Nazi against an imaginary construct.
Brilliant replies. But still... if you enjoy playing Nazis, you're at least a little Nazi, as the guy that takes the cake explains:
