Why did you sign your comment with the Nazi Schutzstaffel symbol
He did not.
He signed with U+2681, "High Voltage Sign", in reference to the potential danger of screwing a sex bot hooked up to mains through its charger.
The relevant runic letter would be U+16CB, "Runic Letter Sigel Long-Branch-Sol S".
Though I would guess somewhere on this planet deviants could be found that would love to mix ALL of the above.
