I still love this sticker so much.

Not a white supremacist, but also didn’t read the comics. Can someone explain the story behind the punisher?

If Nazi’s could read they would be very upset.

With the comics and the sticker.

They even went and [wrote an issue in which The Punisher *himself* makes this point](https://www.newsweek.com/punisher-police-blue-lives-matter-skull-logo-1449272).

As someone whose platoon’s callsign in Iraq was Punisher when I was 20 years old, I didn’t read the comics back then, I just thought it was a dope platoon callsign and emblem. Got a Punisher skull/OIF based tattoo where only long sleeve shirts cover. Fast forward years later, this whole anti-Punisher skull movement sucked. I get Franks character now (mainly forced research by reddit commenters doing thier ackshuallys). My man loved his fellow troops but despised the government that sent those kids. Same as me today. But I know I get some looks where it might as well be a fucking swastika when I wear a Tshirt.

They read two words- “The” and “Punisher”. That was enough for these pieces of shit to adopt it as a symbol. In their heads it means “Punish those who I deem lesser and wield power over them by any means necessary”. The fact cops are even allowed to accessorize with all their weird patches is like flair in office space. Stupid.

Not necessarily white supremacists, but a lot of wannabe vigilantes which is honestly becoming a growing problem with how accepted it is becoming in the society.

Soooooooooo many cops love the punisher skull image

I wish I could show my late stepfather this image. He hated how racists used the Punisher logo since he liked the comics and didn’t want to be associated with them

As someone who occasionally does read comics, the thing that annoys me is how this actually affects the Punisher himself. Marvel Comics was so afraid of being associated with these people that they changed the Punisher’s iconic logo.

[Punisher’s New Skull](https://bleedingcool.com/comics/the-punisher-gets-a-new-devil-skull-logo-for-2022/)

It doesn’t look too bad and I’m pretty sure it was already reverted but I’m still pissed that these idiots had the power to change a decades old character like that.

Yeah… I hate that those idiots co-opted the Punisher emblem for their bigotry…

I feel like the issue with this is that they use a fictional character, a Marvel character especially, to use as a symbol, when he lives in the same universe as the Hulk and Spider-Man. So CLEARLY, his morals are realistic and real as well if he has met SPIDER-MAN

I’m still confused on how of all the versions of the skull that was used in the comics, these guys went with the one from the 2004 Thomas Jane movie

To be fair, they actually might have read the comics but were too stupid to truly understand them… or they just learned the wrong lessons from the comics. /shrug

I have a shirt with an earlier version of the logo that I can’t wear anymore. I got that shirt back in the 00s. Makes me sad. Though it was one of those thick ass shirts that sucks in Texas summers.

As someone who loves his comic book character and is tired of seeing on every jacked up truck, or one with a thin blue like… I absolutely love this sticker

Eh, I literally have only seen that sticker on six figure diesel trucks and c6, c7 and c8 vettes.

I dated this guy once who likes The Punisher. This describes him *accurately* 😂

Yeah, Framk would snap the legs of all of them one by one.
