Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

No, but it's a great idea!

Bold of you to assume modern day nazis know how zo draw a swastika. There so many strange 'symbols' where it is clear what the goal was, but the shape was too hard to draw for them... Harder to fix those this way

Step 4 is "rest of the fucking owl" vibes

Too obvious that it was a swastika in my opinion. But as step three you could turn it into an abstract loss, at least that would take the attention away from the original shape.

Fight swastikas with loss

So, this begs the question if it is better to leave it at a stage where it's visible that "Le Resistance" has happened, or is it better to cover it completely so nobody is exposed to the original symbol in the first place.

Could just paint it over in all black if the latter is the goal.

I kinda like the idea of drawing a garbage can or other mockery around it, so people can see that there was a Nazi and this is what we think of them.

I also don't think anyone will turn Nazi from seeing a swatiska. People should be exposed to and educated on what it is.

I think the reason is to replace the hakenkreuz with something more positive, and as bonus point nazis are gonna hate the evil rainbow

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah, this treatment is for either public graffiti where the original moron will see the new version, or maybe reformed Nazis who had a tattoo

i turn em into windows logos. once someone had carved the original lines so piss poor wavy that it ended up looking almost exactly like the windows xp flag thing.

I’ve also had success with simply turning then into a stylized flower.
