Not a good look, chalk outline of a dead black person while the body still on the ground. Also taken from a black artist without credit or compensation who created the art for Michael brown as a political statement.

Who defends this?

yeah you're probably right, just wanted to clarify. also I suppose in the case of it being a necklace like that all you have to do it flip it around and it becomes a swastika so might as well be one

that swastika is reversed though... and could be suited more towards hindu/buddists culture but still. publicly displaying swastika's is not a good look as most people will associate with nazism right away.

It is a "swastika" by definition in that it's the "twisted cross" form, like all symbols that use that form, but the orientation is in line with the Buddhist manji.

Something that would never work the way those necklaces would lay on a chest.

Furthermore, most manji come with dots in the empty spaces and flares at the tips of the arms.

good rule of thumb is don't use swastikas at all and if you want to differentiate the hindu/buddists swastika from the nazi one...
the nazi swastika makes an "s" where it looks like the ss logo where as the other one is reversed.

You could just reverse it and get the right-facing Hakenkreuz. It's not set in any particular orientation.

I don't think there's really any need to imagine.
General rule of thumb is, the more obnoxious and numerous the watermarks, the more likely it is to be stolen anyway.

I mean that's the shape's name. A manji is still a swastika. >_>

A swastika is not bad by itself. It's just the symbol. It's when the Nazi-adjective is added to it (and flipped) does it become.....will racist.

I vaguely know some of the history of the swastika before fascism, and its variants in other cultures, but that is literally described as a swastika. I know that a fascist swastika faces the other way, but it's a necklace. It can be flipped either direction. It's probably just laying in the opposite direction.

If you flip a cross or a pentagram left to right, nothing changes. Doing the same to a manji or swastika makes a world of difference to its meaning. They just half-assed it and laid the intended hate symbol down the opposite direction.

I'm not saying anything about the sellers though. Just the term usage.

One of my favorite stories was when Twitter found out about companies bots that look for comments like "I want this on a T shirt" and automatically making shirts without checking or asking or anything.

So they started commenting that on certain pictures.

So it started with the companies trying to sell shirts that say "This website steals artwork" and ended with Mickey Mouse hentai saying "oh no please don't sue me Daddy Disney."

That's my friend's girlfriend's name.

In any case the swastika isn't necessarily for nazis, but let's be realistic in who's probably buying them.... it's not the hindus.. because they know what it means to the western world.
