A link posted when you find an unintentional swastika shape in logos and designs of all kinds. Before posting there, please check the Forbidden Post List at https://old.reddit.com/r/accidentalswastika/[1] first, because some Swastikas aren’t unintentional or even malicious. *Sauwastika* are ancient religious symbols used as 卐 by Hindu/Jain (among others) and as 卍 by Buddhists (among others), and until recently, the “Hakaristi”[2] was a symbol used by Finland’s Air Force[3]. Indeed, the swastika shape has a fascinating history worldwide[4]; Context, as always, is everything. r/accidentalswastika.

r/hailhortler is for deliberate attempts at drawing Nazi Swastikas, i.e. the “Hakenkreuz” (hook-cross), that have failed somewhat, and r/beholdthemasterrace mocks supremacy according to their sidebar criteria.
