Yeah I have to say I am confused, because first I thought people were reporting it for the message „why does it matter they are a Nazi when they were nice to you?“ painting the shock/disgust of the saleswomen as something ridiculous.

I understood from the comments that thankfully it’s not about protecting nazifeelings, but to me the comic feels like it’s playing both sides a bit

Maybe you’re unfamiliar with this artist, but usually she makes comics about things in her life, and it often involves folks gaslighting her or being otherwise horrible while trying to present themselves as reasonable.

Yeah, I am.

I also never intended to argue „the real meaning“. 

I am just reporting how it felt as an average person randomly getting it in their feed.  Red hats also aren’t as loaded for me as their are in the US.

So it would be easy to misinterpret this piece of art.

I still don’t really see how. It’s not even about the red hat. The comic is clearly from the perspective of the girl, and she is upset and disturbed. There’s nothing to indicate that the guy dismissing her concerns is the correct one at all.
