One moth just went plop and forced me to scoop it out, the other splashed hot oil around and fried a crispy strange smelling death.

It's been used in both orientations by plenty. I'm not sure whether it's possible to know the original orientation for it. The common hindu use of it still uses the same right facing form as the Nazis adopted. Displaying it in the Nazi colours or themes will probably never be forgiven, but I'd like to think at least the symbol itself could be partially redeemed eventually. It's amusing but sad when sharp eyed parents kick up a storm after spotting the swastika used as a sword guard in Bleach for example.
It's hard to decide for certain where to stand on casual/fun/mocking use of the Nazi form of it. Like Darkboy and myself just did/is. I don't at all look down on him for using it as an avatar (otherwise I wouldn't have joked about it myself), but it's always a touchy subject regardless. Is it actually harming anyone, and does it reinforce or weaken the symbols negative image? I've actually demolished a good few 200ft tall swastikas that are frequently erected by hackers and their bots in the public minecraft servers. I'm not entirely certain why I feel the need to, but I do. '_'
(Aside from the times the damned bots build the things straight through my own structures. That's just annoying and a plain obvious reason to destroy the things.)
