I mean as a religious symbol. It was a religious symbol before it got appropriated by the nazis.

I believe a significant amount of people would find it unbearable if that sign were to be displayed on the streets.

They use them in movies and history books frequently. Their intent is not to spread hate, it’s to teach anti-hate. Yes, they are okay when their intentions are not racist.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to elaborate further. I hope that clears it up.

There's the way the world should be, and there's the way the world is. Yeah, it should work the way you want it to, but it doesn't. Believe it or not, if one of the first impressions people have about you is the possibility that you're a white supremacist, it's going to negatively impact your life.

It's why I don't fly the Canadian flag anymore. Because ignorant assholes have turned it into a symbol of ignorance, so if I fly it, that will be people's first thought. Sure, if they talked to me and got to know me they would see that I'm not an ignorant asshole, but far more people are going to see the flag than actually get to know me.

No, it’s not time to stop. There’s no hateful intent there. It’s a game for kids. If white supremacists started using the peace sign, or sign language, would we have to stop that too? What if they started saying “love” as a hate word, should I stop telling my family that I love them? No…that’s just foolishness and fear mongering.

So long as you’re not acting like a racist shitbag and your intentions are good, you shouldn’t change your behavior. Some little group’s idea of what hate gestures are will corrupt everything and everyone if you let them win.

This isn’t even valid for that game. You have to be able to put your finger through the hole. A picture of the hand is nothing.
