If you look at the US one during the tour 99% of the time they say this one is based on an Akuyuki idea/ design.

plus japan was part of the nazi axis, so the uncritical handling of a swastica is espacially bad. germany guy here. this is just a no go.

Thats not a swastika, its a so called manji. In Japanese slang, manji now has an array of meanings. According to My Navi, kids say it when they’re taking photos like the English word “cheese,” and it’s also used to refer to mischevious or excitable personality. As with the the original character, which can mean mercy or good fortune, its slang version has various definitions. It’s not to be confused with the Nazi swastika, which certainly could happen. This character is the manji. www.google.de/amp/s/kotaku.com/the-buddhist-swastika-becomes-popular-slang-in-japan-1822404738/amp

FELIX Same symbol, different meaning. Just as i said, different culture. Not good, not bad, simply problematic if it was done in many other places. Call it the Swastika or the Manji, the symbol persists even if the symbolism does not.

LucAs Bune its not the same symbol. The nazi swastika is turned clockwise, not counter-clockwise

Ah, so they are. Do forgive, it has been long since i saw either last.

Also, the Nazi one is the mirror image of the one shown.

Donschnulione *German music intensifies*

funny is, i am from Germany xD

indeed...

EERRRIIIKKKKKA

Probably all just LEGO Mindstorms

If you saw those big black boxes with yellow knobs, those are battery box type things that go into power function motors. Each one has their own (because they need the amperage) but there are some exceptions, some use mindstorm (sometimes multiple), though I didn't see those in this video (didn't finish), while others use but in battery boxes, namely the train modules.

Each module uses just rotational energy and turns that into other types of movement

The Nazi swastika came eons after the Buddhist one

You're a fucking Nazi.

No Face its not a swastika. Firstly, its mirrored and secondly, the module is called manji. In Japanese slang, manji now has an array of meanings. According to My Navi, kids say it when they’re taking photos like the English word “cheese,” and it’s also used to refer to mischevious or excitable personality. As with the the original character, which can mean mercy or good fortune, its slang version has various definitions. It’s not to be confused with the Nazi swastika, which certainly could happen.

FELIX I know but RU-vid filters will think it is

No Face No they won't, so you don't need to worry about non-existent problems.

it is windmill of peace

Indeed, it's embarrassing that you know nothing of the symbol and you think it's a swastika. Please educate yourself :)

LordDragox412 I wasn even saying dat it wuz a nazi symbol y u has 2 be mad

Time Pasteque you're implying it is

TF2 scout memes As a random dude who doesn't know this culture because I have a life somewhere else, I can say that it is embarrassing

Time Pasteque. Could you please explain why you think it's embarrassing?
