It’s not that that account is known to use it, it is that Turkish ultra-nationalists are known to use it. A lot.
Now I don’t really care about it being used in that tweet as it is obviously a joke, nor do I believe that everything that makes someone uncomfortable should be censored, but at least one should be honest to themselves to recognize that that symbol has a shitty meaning behind it with the context that is present here.
Grey wolves are considered as a historic symbol by Turks, similar to how a bald eagle is treated by americans or dragons to Chinese people. You can also see ultra-nationalist people of these countries use these symbols a lot, but it doesn’t change the meaning of these symbols to the majority of the country’s population.

It does. I’m Turkish and the only places I’ve been seeing the gray wolf from are the “ülkücüler”.
O durum senin cahilliğin git biraz tarihini oku
Pek de değil. Türkiye’deki siyasi manzaradan ibaret.
Everything I don’t like is fascism
Alright bro :D. Sorry for not knowing about Turkish politics and culture as much as you do.
