Is there a part of your culture you fear people will misunderstand?

For me, I see a lot of nordic runes and religion being coopted by white supremacists. It pisses me off and I'm afraid that one day I'll be lumped in with them in people's minds.

Well, yeah. If asked what a swastika means, I don't think the majorty would say it's a sun symbol of good fortune and prosperity in Hinduism.

@GlassDog A lot of cultures. But no one can use it now.

@Straylight Yeah, I think Buddhism used it to respresent the path of the Buddha too. If you can say one thing about Hitler, he knew how to do branding. Shame he didn't just get employed as a brand manager.
