If you want to talk about politics? I would recommend sufficient velocity or space battles.

I agree,I'm a jumpchain player and that has serious action elements so I was wondering if nazis and specifically hitler could receive violence in those action elements

Not bad advice, but-

Hitler is much older than the 20 year guideline, so it mostly wouldn't count as a violation, no, but references to/discussion of 'modern day Nazis', or 'cosplaying' as one (outside of a story), would be. I'd also be careful of historic political viewpoints that are still current political viewpoints, as that can very easily slide into Rule 8 territory.

8: Current politics is a banned subject here.

• This rule applies to real life current politics. At the time of this rule is written, this means things like Trump, feminism vs men's rights, SJWs, etc.
• It does NOT apply to things such as stories featuring past events like WW2, Vietnam, nobility, royalty, etc. If it's something that happened 20+ years ago, it's most likely fair game.

To be clear, there's very few restrictions on story content. You're allowed to depict evil characters with evil ideologies, they're allowed to be the POV, and the world can conspire to make them 'win'. Fiction is fiction.

It's really only when you're directly talking about a nationally controversial, very recent political controversy, or using the names of modern political figures, that we start thinking about hitting a story, with great reluctance.
