       | Of course, everyone started drawing penises, swastikas, and
       | "Trump"...

         | Whats wrong with swastica? It's a holy symbol.

           | that it is (or is very close to or easily mistaken for,
           | depending on the style chosen) a symbol of Nazism.

             | I tried reporting content labelled as "nazi flag" in an iOS
             | app to no avail. I submitted multiple tickets in different
             | places, sent multiple emails to Apple and to the
             | application developer.
             | 
             | Yet nazi flags are still present on the home page of Divoom
             | application. Also present in this ages 4+ rated application
             | are plenty of drug symbols and other assorted strangeness.
             | 
             | I spent way too much time with this and am amazed just how
             | non-responsive Apple has been.

               | That's odd, I'm not a daily Divoom user myself but I do
               | use it often, and I have never seen any nazism or drug
               | symbols in their galleries. Where exactly did you see
               | this kind of imagery?

             | From wikipedia:
             | 
             | >The word swastika comes from Sanskrit: svstik, romanized:
             | svastika, meaning 'conducive to well being' or
             | 'auspicious'.

               | I know. For a Westerner, it's weird walking around India
               | and seeing them all over the place. The fact that they
               | are authentically a religious or good-luck symbol in some
               | cultures doesn't change the fact that, in Western
               | culture, they carry Nazi symbolism, intentionally or
               | unintentionally.

               | The India ones are the original. Asshole Nazis took that

               | Nazis use. Look closer at their differences.
