My emblem on The Last of Us online is a Helghast insignia could it be mistaken for the Nazi swastika?

that's the problem. people are stupid. they assume that a Swastika is automatically bad. but the Swastika is actually a Hindu symbol of protection. it's a GOOD symbol. the only thing that made it bad is Hitler. kinda like the Pentagram is a Pagan symbol of protection. another GOOD symbol. but now most people think it's evil thanks to the moronic Satanists.

and I just looked up the Helghast insignias. further proof that people are stupid. none of them look anything like a Swastika.

you could always give the other answer a shot and see if changing your emblem changes the way people treat you. if it doesn't, well then I'm not sure what to tell you. :/

That's a good assumption. Change your emblem and you will have your answer.
