Some people in the alt-right movement associate themselves with pepes, and there are racist pepes, but not all pepes are racist. There are still many non-racist communities that use pepes.

The swastika has a long and honorable past in India, but displaying it without very specific context indicates Nazi sympathy.

Perhaps the ability to corrupt symbols by association shouldn't be given to groups that haven't committed heinous acts?

In practice, we tend to ban the symbols where they represent hate most often, rather than make distinctions about who means what by displaying them.
