Since certain people have repeatedly had a hard time producing evidence of all the supposed swastika building, here's every single swastika I've ever built on Brickadia in any context or shape or form what so ever. Any claims about either me or Dingo building swastikas can only be based on some of these, because nothing else has ever existed as far as I'm aware. These are all mine and I am not aware of Dingo having ever built a single swastika, even as a joke – not on Blockland, not on Brickadia.
Random spam on Brickadia city
In no way intended as an actual part of the build, as is apparent from it's random position on the lawn with no base or anything. It is a tongue-in-cheek "sculpture" inspired by the nearby Torque logo with the idea of doing a similar thing by combining XYZ axes. It undeniably forms a swastika from certain angles, but is very obviously not intended as a hate symbol. Hasn't been deleted because no one has ever asked for it to be deleted while we keep forgetting its still there – we've no reason to keep it and never intended to. This is what Aware is referring to with the "i mean it's fine, i know you're not using it as a hate symbol" comment of his.
Finnish Air Force swastika
Built next to the Luftwaffe balkenkreuz and VVS red star (both representing genocidal regimes, unlike the FAF one), built along with the censored variants in order to help me figure out if I could maybe add markings to my WW2 planes (including Finnish ones to the Bf109 G-2 I had built) I was working on at the time. My conclusion was that I couldn't.
The Finnish Air Force adopted the blue swastika on white as its symbol in 1918, predating even the adoption of the blue crossed flag later that year (the colors matching the flag is a coincidence). The swastika has never in Finnish context represented a political ideology and associating Finnish swastikas with nazism is considered disrespectful, even if an understandable mistake. The Finnish Air Force still uses the swastika on its flags and unit emblems today as the traditional Finnish military symbol for "air".
MERP empire Pohjola
In my concept for an inter-war era pseudo-Finnish MERP empire called "Pohjola" ("The North"), I utilized the fylfot (arguably not even a swastika) as a military symbol, based on the Finnish symbol of the Cross of Liberty, as well as the Finnish armor corps marking used during the Continuation War. The fylfot as part of the Cross of Liberty remains a prominent symbol in present day Finland, especially in presidential, military or especially war memorial context, while also being the single most prominent Finnish honorary award (my own grandfather was awarded a 4th class one for his actions against the Germans in the Battle of Tornio 1944), so I found it the most appropriate symbol to use. The star-like cross sometimes used as a representation of Finno-Ugric peoples was a potential (less Finnish & harder to build small and therefore less desirable) alternative.
WW1 planes
This is kind of obscure territory, as these planes are a very old build predating custom color palettes and I've never heard of anyone ever bringing these up. For all I know no one even remembers these, but for the sake of transparency of indeed bringing up every case of me building swastikas, I've dug them up. Do also note that in the .brs I've shared of these on the Brickadia Discord, the swastikas aren't present to avoid misunderstandings.
The first one pictured is the SPAD7 of the famous French-American ace Raoul Lufbery, with which I wanted to highlight the American use of the plane under the French air force
The next one is a Fokker Dr.1 of a pilot I frankly do not know the name of, member of the single most famous German fighter squadron of the First World War, Jagdstaffel 11, commanded by the Red Baron. I was trying to make as many Jasta 11 Fokkers (red noses, struts and wheel caps) as I could easily make, this one being one of them with others seen behind and in front of it.
The last one is a Nieuport 17 painted in Finnish Air Force colors and markings of 1918, as the one and only WW1 plane I had built that Finland actually used and which could be easily painted as Finnish.
I reckon if my intention was to be edgy and use politically-acceptable swastikas as a loophole to maliciously build swastikas like Aware so confidently claimed in his reddit post, surely I would've built way more of them without censoring over the course of the 7 years I've been on Brickadia (like certain individuals have implied I've done) and would spend way less time ranting against fascism on the political Discord channels I'm on, as I'm sure others present on those channels can further testify.
