Absolutely, it’s an act of kindness to loop them in. And if an eavesdropper complains about it I’d be super suspicious.

there's a big difference between Adolf and whatever esoteric garbage this is

Not sure where you’re from but it’s not esoteric at all. Here in the US our current administration is constantly vice-signaling to white supremacists to maintain them as a political base, and uses myriad similar winks to do it. One example: in 2020 the Trump campaign ran Facebook ads featuring an inverted red triangle. The opening sentence was 14 words long. They ran the ad 88 times. It’s ok to choose to be ignorant of the implications, but it’s better to maintain situational awareness.

(I’m not saying the game needs to change its name.)

This "esoteric" garbage is the catchphrase of white nationalists globally.

So it's about as esoteric as white nationalism is. For example, members of the current US administration know it/believe it.
