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

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world · 64 pts · 145d

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

"I thought it was a swastika."

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

I'm great at making friends.

Scubus@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 145d

Thank god im not the only one

SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social · 10 pts · 145d

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

A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip · 5 pts · 145d (1 reply)

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...

TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works · 95 pts · 146d (16 replies)

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

13igTyme@piefed.social · 51 pts · 146d (15 replies)

Should be the other side of the neck

FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 61 pts · 146d

My guess is thats exactly what they have right now

zewm@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 146d

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

ruuster13@lemmy.zip · -41 pts · 146d (12 replies)

Then people might think it's a C****** K*** tattoo .

Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it · 28 pts · 145d (6 replies)

Can we just write like normal people instead of censoring? We are also on a social that will not banish you fron the existence for some """""""""bad""""""""" word;

Censorship of swears, insults, strong language and words related to death, rape, etc etc is corporatism slop! Let's stop that

A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip · 12 pts · 145d (2 replies)

Any idea what C****** K*** even means? I just can't decipher it.

BTW, for me it looks more like C* K because markdown.

Charlie Kirk? I think he's some podcaster or something like that.

Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 145d

Wasn't he really invested in trans rights and stricter gun control? 🤔

ruuster13@lemmy.zip · -14 pts · 145d (2 replies)

No. I'll do what I want.

ChexMax@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 145d (1 reply)

That's fine, but idk why anyone would think it's a chicken king tattoo?

ruuster13@lemmy.zip · -13 pts · 145d

Because everything is a rorschach test. I'm glad you view yourself as a king.

new_world_odor@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 145d (1 reply)

??? I'm not playing guessing games to figure out what you're saying. If you want others to understand your words, speak with your full chest.

BlackVenom@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 144d

full chest

We're gonna need a bigger portal swastika

hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 144d (1 reply)

I'm not playing hangman with you. Say what you mean or say nothing.

ruuster13@lemmy.zip · -2 pts · 144d

Yeah you are playing. Otherwise you'd be the one to say nothing.

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

Azzu@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 145d

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

GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org · 50 pts · 146d (3 replies)

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

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world · 69 pts · 146d (1 reply)

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.

robocall@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 145d

I like cactus

AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net · 8 pts · 145d

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.

CaptPretentious@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 144d (3 replies)

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 · 6 pts · 144d (2 replies)

This!

What kind of people mistakes that with a swastika ? 

GladiusB@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 144d

Uncultured swines

FatVegan@leminal.space · 1 pts · 144d

People who make up things to get attention on the internet

A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip · 26 pts · 145d (3 replies)

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.

Me trying to non-chalantly ascertain if the lady next to me on the bus is a nazi or not

peripheral vision is not very clear and I can certainly see why people would do a double take. And if it were me, I'd rather that people don't need to do a double take to see if I'm nazi or not.

hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 144d

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.

hayvan@piefed.world · 22 pts · 146d (3 replies)

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

SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world · 63 pts · 146d (1 reply)

That’s just what the guy looks like though.

libre_warrior@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 144d

Thats a swastica jumping into a portal!

FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 146d

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

exaybachae@startrek.website · 21 pts · 146d

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

Taleya@aussie.zone · 21 pts · 144d

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

Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 145d (2 replies)

Just write "NOT SWASTIKA" next to it.

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 145d (1 reply)

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

Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 144d

And then people would wonder why you'd put textbook-style subtitle on your tattoo.

dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net · 17 pts · 146d (1 reply)

My first thought was DRI.

mech@feddit.org · 17 pts · 145d

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

knotRyder@lemmy.ca · 17 pts · 146d

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

Dealing with it.

Logical@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 145d

Blue portal instead?

billwashere@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 144d

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 😀

Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 146d

She wasnt thinking with portals

notsosure@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 145d

Grow a bigger ear.

fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 146d (3 replies)

LMAO. The amount of replies giving advice...

Can't kill the instinct to come to rescue in such a tragic case

The funniest thing about this is the post title IMO

captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 145d

I remember seeing a set of earrings with this exact motif. Should have just worn those.

libre_warrior@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 144d

Perhaps you should put a blue portal on your cheek?

Danarchy@lemmy.nz · 4 pts · 146d

3 arrows down and to the left

taiyang@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 146d (1 reply)

I have a rule of thumb: no tattoos above the base of the neck. Although how I'd execute my portal love might be weirder... maybe a relevant portal safety sign tramp stamp.

mimavox@piefed.social · 3 pts · 144d

Someone said that neck tattoos are the new tramp stamps. I think about that a lot.

FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 146d

Maybe have the portal redone to blue could be an option.

someguy3@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 146d

Can laser removal be precise enough to zap the left forearm and left leg below the knee? Need to change the angle.

aeiou@piefed.social · 2 pts · 146d

Draw a 'Bendy' from Portal 2 over the thinner stick figure, with the larger torso and fat legs covering the original's bent legs

I wouldn't change it. But if you must change it, then I'd change it to a Palestinian flag.
