QR-Swastika-Avoider

rationalist

I'm not sure I've ever noticed a swastika in a QR code before, but I guess better safe than sorry.

Why not reclaim the original usage of the swastika instead of perpetuating the taint? In Asian nations people who have never heard of the Nazis still use the swastika. Do the version of "your parents using slang" to make it uncool

I'd like to see one that stops accidental generation of strings like 'nakba'.

Now do swastika enforcer.

Article makes no mention of what 900+ million Hindus may feel about the whole thing. It's possible the author doesn't even know what the swastika is, or that he is willfully ignorant because "Indians and Asians live somewhere else".

Maybe his next repo can obscure blacks-with-their-pants-down memes.

How about using the term Hakenkreuz or something similar to represent the anti-semitic meaning and stop appropriating the term Swastika? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

You need the flipped chirality which in extensive use and is a Unicode code point.

Interestingly, a recent news story on several buildings in Northwest Texas that incorporated swastikas in their design, interviewed some experts who explained that it was specifically the "tilted cross" design that was used in Nazi symbolism, and the non-tilted versions are more likely to be benign, Native American or Asian usages. https://youtu.be/8uH3gIzqnVM?si=24KFsG85FRJ29Y05 And of course this app gets it wrong, and avoids the benign uses, because it is quite impossible to render a "tilted swastika" image on a QR code! Absurd!

Makes me wonder if it’s possible to add images to QR codes. Not a swastika of course but if you can remove something, can you add it?
