Outline the orange circle properly. Black line will ytterly change the visual

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

I’d use it as an intelligence filter. If you can’t tell the difference you are a moron and unworthy of me talking to you 😀

Don't cover it up. Didn't touch it up. Turn to the person and judge them for not knowing what a swastika looks like and be fine with it. We should not cater to people's stupidity or ignorance.

[–] ichwillhierraus@feddit.org 4 points 3 hours ago

This!

What kind of people mistakes that with a swastika ? 

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Just write "NOT SWASTIKA" next to it.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Whoops, your hair moved and has been covering the "not" for most of the day.

That song is stuck in my head for 2 days.

Blue portal instead?

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 22 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

This is just an indicator for people who don't think before they speak. Because if you do, you'd realize that it looks nothing like a swastika. Maybe your brain got duped (hopefully only for a moment) by an abundance of images like this:

Which, incidentally, means NO nazis.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

If you see it only by a quick glance or from far away, or have poor vision, it's pretty easy to mistake it for a swastika.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 135 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Just get a swastika tattoo right next to it so that people can see the difference between the two.

i laughed so hard, i had to explain this to someone else at work.

Now, that's using 100% of your brain.

[–] mech@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago

Make the portal more saturated and cover up the back lower leg with it.

"I thought it was a swastika."

"I thought you had a brain and functioning eyes."

I'm great at making friends.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That was my first thought. Use it as a filter:

Maybe it's a conversation starter.
Maybe it's an intelligence test for the person asking.

Reminds me of those nazis that aren't even able to draw one properly.

If you see it from the wrong angle and her ear is blocking the front half, then I could see how the back half alone would definitely look like it...

Who wants to be friends with people that can't think or play portal? Na, nothing wrong with you.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Thank god im not the only one

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 89 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Add a blue portal below it with a person coming out who doesn't look at all like a swastika, maybe?

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 48 points 1 day ago (15 children)

Should be the other side of the neck

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago

My guess is thats exactly what they have right now

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Except that if someone only sees the one side it doesn’t help the problem.

A blue portal instead of an orange portal would've gone a long way here

[–] Azzu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

The blue portal is probably on the other side of the neck...

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Could be worse. She could have got a Final Fantasy Cactuar tattoo.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 7 points 19 hours ago

Was also going to mention this. As much as I think cactuar is a fun monster, I will never be able to bring myself to get merch of them, because of that shape.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh man, I looked some up out of curiosity and you're right. I'd do a double-take if I saw them in the wild.

Aww man, it's a cool idea, just badly executed.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That’s just what the guy looks like though.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't even say badly executed as it looks exactly as it should for portal.

[–] knotRyder@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

I'm assuming you have the blue circle on the other side of your neck try to make the orange one more orange

[–] exaybachae@startrek.website 21 points 1 day ago

Just change the ring to blue so it stand out more.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Grow a bigger ear.
