So, I came across this in my Twitter notifications, for some reason. I don't follow J-Pop or K-Pop, so Idk why this would be in my notifications, but whatever.

When I shared this in a Discord I'm a member of, I immediately got responses that the girl in this picture:
A) Probably has no idea what a swastika is.
B) Probably meant it in the Buddhist sense.
It's coming off as one of those quantum-locked scenarios here, but if my understanding is correct, the difference between the Buddhist swastika & the Nazi swastika is the orientation. Buddhist symbol is vertically & horizontally aligned to form a cross at the center point, while the Nazi symbol is tilted & makes more of an X shape.
Am I wrong here?
