This is simply too weird for words. Costume play or "Cosplay" is a popular Asian pastime in which practitioners dress up as characters from their favorite cartoons or video games. Here, however, a young Chinese couple poses for photos in Nazi costume (via ChinaSmack, MOP):
"Nazi cosplayers often don’t comprehend the historical implications of the uniforms they are wearing...," says ChinaSmack, "...When asked, they would respond with 'We’re not racist, we just like the fashion. Really'." Better-informed Chinese netizens were quite unsympathetic, however, and harshly derided the couple for their astonishing ignorance.
