It is an exclusively Nazi symbol. It hasn’t been neutralized at all, US Americans are just stupid. The goddamn thing is literally in every piece of media featuring SS officers. It’s in memes. It’s incredibly recognizable to anyone that actually earned their high school diploma. You can argue whether Platner knew what is was when he got it, but you don’t get to argue that the totenkopf isn’t an exclusively Nazi symbol, because it is, and that’s clearly what the tattoo was of. We’re not republicans, we don’t substitute actual reality with our delusions because it’s convenient.

As a child, I was actually interested it history; and, as an edgelord, especially interested in gruesome totalitarian regimes. I played a lot of war-themed games, inevitably many had Nazis. Of course the games aren’t usually historically accurate but led me to read more about the actual events. I had seen the totenkopf decades ago but did not know this was a Nazi symbol until I saw the Mitchell & Webb skit about ten years ago. Can confirm, Americans stupid; we were never shown this symbol and now our country is infested with fascists.
