--There were literally instances where someone posted a topic about white supremacists, white nationalists, or literal Neonazi public figures or "activist" groups, and posters would get modded for referring to said assholes as Nazis, with the mod essentially telling them that it's not okay to Godwin. (Godwin's law actually refers to playing the Nazi/Hitler/holocaust card in online discussions when it is not appropriate.)
What makes this even more absurd is that after Charlottesville Godwin himself actually came out to say that no, it's not Godwin's Law when you're talking about actual white supremacists like these, or to make comparisons to Nazis that are based on actual historical parallels.
