Needs Help: Non Nazi Swastika

Go To

Non Nazi Swastika is a list of swastikas being used for various reasons other than Nazism. A lot of examples of the trope, however, seem to have no in-universe relevance to this, and the comparison to Nazism is just made by the audience. According to Non Nazi Swastika Wick Check, most examples just look like "this symbol appears", without any deliberate subversion of Nazi imagery (especially if they were made before the 1930s), and the simple existence of a symbol with no meaning attached is People Sit on Chairs. I am wondering if this trope could perhaps be reworked into the "swastika of peace" type, or have examples moved to Culture Clash or its subtropes.

Maybe we could make a Useful Notes page for the symbol? (Maybe keep its current name, just to not alarm people.)

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Would a UN page of this list examples in media like other UN pages do?

Move to Useful Notes. If possible, preserve the examples.

UN. Of course preserve the examples; useful notes pages should have sections about how they show up in media.

It looks like we have enough consensus to move this to Useful Notes.

It should also be in the plural, as in "Non-Nazi Swastikas".

[up]We didn't vote to change the name, and we don't do plural redirects for singular page names. See Creating New Redirects.

The only case I could see for pluralizing it is if there really is multiple swastikas to discuss, in which case making it singular is slightly more misleading.
