If I remember correctly, DC has literal angels in their comics. There's a superhero with, I think, archangel Michael's sword or something.

The Spectre is the actual no poo poo wrath of God. The plagues of Egypt? All him.

Anyway the explanation in the comic is that basically he had something terrible happen to him and how can he believe in a higher power watching over us when he's seen all this tragedy in the world, and who says these people are God's just because they're omnipotent? There's a couple omnipotent folks in the DCU who aren't gods

Should've covered it up with something that says the town is a "safe space", maybe by making a badass version of the initials.

I mean, there is an effort by young people in japan to reclaim the manji, which is an old Buddhist symbol that also happens to be a mirrored swastika.

I remember an old documentary about a guy in Northern BC who was covered in various swaztikas from various cultures, as was his van, and would clarify at any opportunity that he hated the nazis and wanted to clear the good name of the symbol. He also loved yellow and dressed mainly in that colour. Seemed like a chill dude.

One of the key factors in the design of the three arrows antifascist logo was how well it covers up or crosses out swastikas.

But of course that would mean actually opposing fascism instead of just giving it a friendly facade.

Only the last one gets used with Buddhism outside Japan at all, and the tilted one is rare even in Japan. Also, there are usually embellishments and stuff, someone just wanted to be edgy or something.

The antifa three arrows was created by the SPD in Germany to represent opposition against fascism, reactionary conservatives, and.... communism. Doesn't have anything to do with the swastika Kinda stupid it's still used by leftist antifa.

The point is too remove the swastikas from the public sphere. People shouldn't have to look at that poo poo.
