same, even though i'm aware of it being a common symbol in hinduism it would have been easy to just.. not include it in a design for a site where most of the users are european/american 
oh right so Solovey should have altered her design that has clear religious ties just because you can't handle it? You can't just try to erase part of a religion because it doesn't sit right with you

The Nazi symbol is a 45 degree rotation anyway and this symbol on the hands hasn't been rotated so it's not even the same. Plus it's coloured.

It's understandable that it can make people uncomfortable. But you have to take into consideration of how it was used before the holocaust. I'm trying to explain confusion, so sorry if I came out a little harsh. People should expand their horizons instead of just basing a symbol on one specific event (as Op did) if she had looked into it, she would see it's meant for peace and for other special occasions. I know I've marked the Swastik on auspicious occasions such as a new house/new car/wedding ceremonies before in my life. So depending on how much you are exposed to other cultures, yes people can assume it is bad, but there is more to it than that :')

Tbh I don't think Americans should complain because WW II wasn't even in America. But anyway like I said the symbols differ due to the 45 degree rotation that the Nazis used. So they might look alike, but you can't deny everything that looks like something you feel negative towards.
