A swastika, an LGBT flag and a hammer and a sickle are all political symbols. I found it funny admins only banned one of them.
As a german i can tell you having the german flag on anything is a bit weird.
Why is it so controversial to have a swastika symbol in unicode? The hammer and sickle had no problems and it is also banned in some countries.
and... why not a black flag anyway?
They are indeed hate groups, it's a hate symbol, thanks for playing!
That’s a swastika for anyone who doesn’t particularly want it to show up on their screen in a public place
Ugh, a seamless combination of a swastika with an arrow cross. I don't think this would go well in Europe.(It's not just me. The page has a legal disclaimer:"This image shows (or resembles) a symbol that was used by the National Socialist (NSDAP/Nazi) government of Germany or an organization closely associated to it, or another party which has been banned by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany." )
There's a hate symbol on that site.
Get some perspective. It's _just_ a flag... a gesture of respect.
Am I the only one seeing a swastika in the image?
