I think it's silly that Hitler had a particular moustache 80 years ago therefore that moustache style is permanently verboten. I rock a moustache very similar to Stalin's, thankfully that one is allowed.

I also wonder if it was a popular moustache style in the 1930s or if it already made him look different at the time.
I know Michael Jordan sported the style a few years ago and that also didn’t go well.

It's sad that dressing up as Charlie Chaplin has so many negative connotations.

Infamy really sticks around. Adolf is still pretty much dead as a name and nearly everyone with a last name of Hitler had their last name changed (in the US at least). People still don't name their kid Judas.
It was a perfectly practical Great War mustache style for gas masks when facial hair was more in vogue but it is still emotionally poisoned.

Agreed, this attitude has to end. People are forcing themselves to imagine Nazism in symbols, meanwhile there's actual racism on plain view that many pretend not to see.
