MANJI SYMBOL SPOTTED
TIME TO CAUSE A RUCKUS FOR IGNORANT REASONS

Asians generally care quite little about Western symbolism when it comes to ideological things. Just remember how often I have to remind people that in Japan the rainbow is not a queer symbol and is often added as an emoji and emotional metaphor in the media. Although maybe he really wanted to point out that the main Nazi base of the city was located in that place, lmao.

Its not asians not caring about western symbolism, its any culture not caring about not-their-culture. Which is completely normal and appropriate. You'd have to think there was a 'correct' or 'superior' culture to think otherwise.

You were completely right if we did not live in an era when every country and culture in the world, for some reason, must rework itself by looking at the “Western” (tm) worldview and way of life. Even if your country or society has a completely different experience in this matter.

Moreover it isn't even properly Western culture, it's just Westerners known as Nazis stealing part of Asian culture while kinda LARPing as European pre-Christian pagan warriors because they thought it was cool, and then other ignorant Westerners trying to rewrite that part of Asian culture - if I tried to find an example of actual cultural appropriation (Halloween Mummy costume doesn't count), then trying to replace meaning of Manji with Nazi swastika would be best one.

To be precise, the swastika is a universal symbol and has been present in various cultures to one degree or another. For example, the Finns used it during the First World War. It's just that most people are not knowledgeable enough about their own or the world's culture to know that the Nazis stole the symbol and distorted its meaning. For example, in my country, a bunch of neo-pagans have been believing and idealizing a symbol for years, 90% of the lore of which was invented by cultists in the 20th century.
