I mean, feel free to run a "taking Swastika back" information campaign, but also, you know, good luck.
Very much not a good reason - in fact, a very bad reason. Conformist, destructive, declining, orwellian...
You are not to speak like the ignorant.
We need a crate that suggests something inappropriate in QRs instead
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
... and you'll be playing into the hands of people who want to get a swastika tattoo and then pretend they didn't mean any harm by doing so.
Now it's "ehh"
Only silly people still use them unironically and only silly people get offended by them.
This reeks of "virtue signaling": Someone trying to show they are morally superior by doing the minimum effort, like blanket banning something. I never heard of swastikas in QR codes being a problem before.
Japan/Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia + most of the Middle East etc. have more of a valid reason to ban depictions of the American flag, than the West has for co-opting an ancient symbol of peace to mean evil and then refusing to "return" it.
Did you not see the other comments about this or just chose not to respond?
That is mandated, and actually they are expected to get out of the house educated already (de jure. De facto, it's different, but they should anyway).
> this symbol of hatred and genocide
According to which scum, to which you are confering unduly power?
> has other meanings, too
Those absolutely primary, ! one million times?!

Simon, let us go to the core: properly developed people do not reason like fools, and they are not to conform to foolery.
> What an incredibly narrow view that completely dismisses the culture and history of the majority of the planet. As others have said, it's still in use in India and China which make up the majority of the population on earth. Rather than discarding their culture and history, we can just stop indoctrinating children year after year on a single point in time and history. A lot of tragedies occurred in the last 100 years. My 13 years of public school education didn't once cover Armenian Genocide, Stalin's forced collectivisation famine deaths, Mao's great famine, Khmer rouge, or the 5 million+ American military caused civilian deaths in the last 100 years. But we covered "the" holocaust every year (even the title treats like it's the only holocaust). Are the political symbols of these other terrible events and actors emblazoned in your mind and if not, why not? Why give it so much power?
> The swastika has thousands of years of history outside this tiny point in time. Used by everyone from native Americans to vikings to indians and east Asians. Silly to have to hide from it and try to destroy it because evil people coopted it in one corner of the earth for < 0.5% of its history.
"A billion people in Asia use, live with and benefit from this symbol on a daily basis, since millennia."
- "OK but what about the atrocities in WW2?"
The pushback I'm getting for expressing that opinion is bizarre.
Imagine banning "Allah Akbar" after 9/11
or banning the Christian cross because of the atrocities committed during the Crusades
Which is also collaboration with the enemy: it is giving it power. (They allow the enemy to determine their culture; also, they allow the low to replace the high.)

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!
No, it's hurting all sensible people.
The conversation here is depressingly juvenile.
