'''Furzi''', also known as the '''Die Deutsch Furmacht''', is a [[furry]] [[Second Life]] [[Wikipedia:WWII|WWII]] [[roleplay]] group founded by [[Rainbow Pirandello]] and [[Spotz Spork]].

== Group charter ==
{{q|This is a group for furs who have an interest in German/WWII history. We're not racist and we don't hate anyone, we're just history buffs who enjoy a bit of RP. If you're looking to just be offensive then go somewhere else(...)
(...)This is a group that prides itself on being realistic and historically accurate}}

== Das Waffenamt ==

Das Waffenamt is both a German/[[Wikipedia:Axis powers|Axis]] military paraphernalia shop, and the groups official headquarters. Every Friday evening, WWII march and propaganda music is streamed on site to "give a feel for the time period."

== Controversy ==

On March 22nd, 2007,<ref>[http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=2971 ''Aussie hosts seder in cyberspace''] - First off-world report of the JSL/Furzi debacle</ref><ref>[http://brandoncatteneo.wordpress.com/2007/06/06/3/ Brandon Catteneo's Blog] piece on the incident</ref> the Furzi Truppenverband came to ideological loggerheads with the both the '''Jews of Second Life''' and '''Zionist Association of Second Life''' groups, plus the [http://jdlsl.wordpress.com/ '''sl-JDL'''], the Second Life branch of the militant [[Wikipedia:Jewish Defense League| Jewish Defense League]], when a Jewish player objected and demanded that a avatar who had shopped at Das Waffenamt remove certain Nazi regalia from its avatar while at a third party (non-Furzi/WWII related) military store in-world.

The individual refused to remove the "offensive" item, and admonishing reminder by the store owners to the offended party about player's constitutional right to wear said item resulted on said party summoning members of the JSL and ZASL to the premises. After receiving the exact same response as their first Jewish counterpart, they were directed to the store were the original item had been sold at, Das Waffenamt on the Triphosa sim.

At the location, the demands of removal by the Jewish charters escalated to all items Axis related, with the obvious refusal by the store/group owners on the grounds of protected rights covered by the [[Wikipedia:Constitution of the United States|Constitution of the United States]]. It was further stated by the store's owners that the acts had been committed by an individual that was not within the Furzi group, and that the owners entrust avatars who shop at Das Waffenamt to follow all Second Life Acceptable Use Policy guidelines. Verbal and [[troll|griefing]] escalation resulted on both Jewish groups banned from the shop's premises.

A demand by said groups for the Furzi's ban, and removal of all items Axis related from Second Life to the Lindens were not granted.

The whole matter was later covered on the second issue of [http://www.2lifemagazine.com '''2life'''], an online magazine dedicated to Jewish matters on Second life.

However the controversy did not end by this. Jewish groups like the [http://jdlsl.wordpress.com/ '''sl-JDL'''] and the '''Zionist Association of Second Life''' continued protesting Das Waffenamt on their and other websites. Many months later in September 2008 the SL communists filled in complaints against Das Waffenamt and Spotz Spork. Apparently this happened around the same time that the above mentioned Jewish groups handed their [http://www.jdlsl.com/SLAH.html '''Anti-Semitism report'''] to Linden Labs which according to the [http://www.jdlsl.com/ '''sl-JDL'''] website resulted into the permanent ban of Spotz Spork and the removal of all Nazi related items that Das Waffenamt sold, as well as in other shops dealing with WW2 items. Within a few days the MAC ban on Spotz was lifted and all of the offending items were made freebies rather than items to be sold.
