1. It's not about americans only. Actually, americans have much less (yet still solid) reasons to react sensitive than, for example, polish people (6 millions dead due to WW2) or jewish people (The Holocaust). And in some countries this salute is illegal. 2. It's a bad joke. I mean, why Gura? 3. There is no good reason to take out politics from Danbooru if it's just not your thing.
By the way, about "in some countries this greeting is illegal". I want to clarify that, for example, in Germany (and possibly Austria, which is on the list), the "Sieg Heil" salute can be performed, BUT only for educational purposes, and if I'm not mistaken, it is allowed when filming movies (historical and artistic ones, those that promote it are not allowed). I know quite well about the punishment in Russia. In Russia, under administrative responsibility: Article 20.3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, a fine of 1,000-2,500 thousand rubles, and arrest for 15 days may be imposed. Under criminal liability: Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, a fine of up to 500,000 rubles, and imprisonment for up to 5 years. I could also write about Belarus, but my translator is already struggling to make ends meet. And the text is already quite large.
And now brigade, please, I’m not in the West, we don’t have such expressions
Trump Derangement Syndrome, AKA the absolute hate boner people uphold for Trump. EDS for Elon instead. Point being that it's stupid. Ppl here are never gonna meet Elon. Elon'll probably forget anyone here ever existed. And when he's gone, then what? Better things? Things they could've been doing instead of stoking the hate boner? Gimme a break and spare me the excuses. But if they're gonna insist on pursuing this one-sided grudge over someone who's gonna be a footnote in their lives, then who am I to deny them the only semblance of a greater purpose in life?
Mari has different rank than everyone else, though I imagine that also has something to do with the lack of other decoration on her uniform. She lacks that circular pin with the inscribed red circle and black dot that everyone else has.
Does this artist do literally anything other than draw characters as nazis?
Why not? commie artists draw their characters with commie shit all the time and you don't hear people complain about it. It's always losers whining about characters wearing hugo boss uniforms.

It's the lowest rank,, you can tell by the pips and stripes on the lapel (these are variants of Sturmführer IIRC, the same rank Rip Van Winkle holds in Hellsing, Mari is either a SS-Oberscharführer or a SS-Standartenjunker, you can tell by the shoulder pad in combination with the pips, probably because she's the newest character out of the bunch, Misato LOOKS to be Sturmbannfuhrer or Major)
