No, it's like saying Dragon Ball is an anime not a cartoon if somebody calls Dragon Ball a cartoon and you correct them by saying "It's an anime and not a cartoon", you're wrong at least technically and likely in spirit of the point they're trying to make. If a parent tells their kid to stop watching cartoons all day, correcting them that it's akshually anime is pedantic and misses the point. I'm relatively sure pepper2012 wasn't calling Nintendo Nazis, so correcting him that it's akshually a manji is pedantic and misses the point. And in general, saying a swastika isn't a swastika, it's a manji, is saying that instead of it being a holy symbol of peace and enlightenment, it's akshually a holy symbol of peace and enlightenment. Context mattered to Nintendo in using the icon as something other than Nazi symbology, and the same context, that it isn't Nazism, matters when somebody calls the symbol by the name that's widely-used in English MZero posted... Just like people would say manji to distinguish it from being a nazi symbol oh i see. guess the hindus are shit out of luck then, because it's their word that the West grabbed for their general name of the symbol MZero posted... While anime and cartoons are the same thing most people would call it anime to distinguish is from western cartoons this doesn't even apply to this scenario, since there is no non-context-derived difference between a manji and a swastika, whichever direction they're facing. the symbol is the same either way. my dog example is more pertinent--same animal, different names based on locality--and more generous, by specifying the breed and thus identifying a physical difference, to your case than it needs to be --- You shine, and make others shine just by being near them. <cite>NFUN posted [p:941463585] in Outrage af...
