You can work around this by just actually selling swastika shirts instead of pretending to

Major e-commerce platforms clearly won't allow that.

That's a different symbol, however.

if you're using the Hindu one, sure? there's different traditional designs for it.

That’s not something people would wear on a shirt; I think? It’s a symbol you’d see drawn onto things as a sort of blessing with red tika or a decoration on a temple. (Source: former partner was Hindu)

I doubt it considering the flurry of pro-Hitler tweets Kanye put out over the past few days (before getting banned from Twitter)

The Hindu swastika is generally red in colour, has serif like font and tilted by 45° (compared to the generally accepted Nazi swastika). I'm sure someone can use it maliciously but as someone who grew up looking at Hindu swastika pretty much everywhere, and much later in my life saw the Nazi swastika, at first glance, I didn't really think they were identical.

Hindu swastika isn’t tilted 45 degrees. You probably proved that even someone who has seen them and understands differences, can still get it wrong.

Some people can't tell the difference:

https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Bay-Area-summer-camp-...

> A California summer camp tucked away in a woodsy pocket of the Silicon Valley abruptly canceled all summer sessions after several staff members quit over a controversy around a swastika symbol on one of the buildings.

> The camp administration explained in its letter that the house had three tiles, each about 12-by-12 inches, with Buddhist swastikas and a lotus embedded in them. When the home was constructed, the symbol would have been considered good luck.

I'm sure some can't. I didn't mean to say that, I was just telling how I perceived it. In fact, I warn my Hindu friends against using the Hindu swastika on their cars or on their houses here in the West, just so that they don't confuse people here.

I'm very sympathetic to both groups here.

1. It's an old symbol. Buddhists had it first, and I don't blame them for wanting to hang onto it.

2. Regardless of context, I don't want a picture of me on the Internet playing and having fun in front of a swastika. By the time you get to the part of the explanation that would show you're not actually a neo-Nazi, people will have stopped listening (if they ever did in the first place).

I don't think there are any unreasonable people in that story. It's just an awful situation.

The site was removed because it wasn't engaging in authentic commerce.

why would you even want to walk around wearing this?

to ensure DOGE doesn't fire you?

Back when I was in the reserves I was hanging out with my Navajo buddy in a bar, both of us in uniform, when these two swastika wearing idiots walked in. Pretty amazed there wasn't a bar fight by the amount of shit I was talking. I just thought they wanted attention so was happy to oblige.

Thing is, I will die for their right to free speech but I don't have to like what they say nor quench my right to free speech. Plus, when you're walking around with an 82nd Airborne combat patch and a Combat Infantry Badge you get to talk a lot of shit.

Yeah, Neonazis who know they are lying do that constantly.

Hindu symbols are mirrored and in generally visually in a different context. Through there are some funny extra bad coincidence like the symbol Japan used in street maps for hospitals(?) until somewhat recently before the Olympics.

But in general IRL people tend to not humor someone trying to bypass rules by definition nitpicking if their intend is very clear. I mean there is a reason law tends to focus on outcome, over intend, over exact details of your actions. Through naturally if they need an excuse for their (in-) action then humoring definition nitpicking sometimes does the job.
