She should be glad she wasn't on vacation in my country wearing a t-shirt like that, or she'd be in trouble with the law. In many European countries, the swastika, but also other symbols of nazism, but also symbols of communism, such as a hammer and sickle, are banned. And rightly so, because these symbols are associated with totalitarian systems that murdered tens of millions of people. For someone who, like me, is from Europe (from Poland), these symbols meant the death of our ancestors at the hands of the nazis (only in my country died about 5 million our citizens), including in concentration camps, the ruins of our towns and villages, the theft of our children by the nazi Germans (only from my country 200,000 children were deported, of whom only 30,000 returned after the war), works of art never returned, forced labor for Germany in labor camps, medical experiments , systematic starvation of the population and other atrocities. What Nazism did until 1945 should never be forgotten and never used symbols associated with it. Many people have forgotten or started twisting the facts and now there is a new totalitarian state in the world that lives by the ideology of hate- Russia, which has practically nazi slogans in its national doctrine, and blames everyone around for being "nazis" to sow hatred, discord and divide the world. And all because other nations and their citizens have forgotten how easily evil is reborn when the lessons learned from history are forgotten. World War II ended less than 80 years ago, and people play with the symbols associated with it as if those killed were a joke and their lives meant nothing.

Someone brought this to my attention on the other article about her Q-Anon shirt from her stylist, so I'll copy what I said here:

That is......disappointing to say the least. Again, this comes down to people needing to educate themselves when they're getting into fashion/tattoos/etc that has language or symbols or aspects of other cultures that are unfamiliar to their own. In this case, I understand that the symbol wasn't the only focal point of the shirt (it was a recreation of a picture of Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols), but it was certainly part of the overall aesthetic. I'm aware that Chaeyoung leans more towards a 'punk' aspect in her style, with her clothing as well as her body art. But with that in mind, she has to remember that people are going to have strong opinions about those symbols, especially with her being part of such an arguably conservative girl group like Twice. It's interesting considering everything Sid Vicious represented, as well as his sordid past of anti-authoritarianism, drug abuse and domestic violence. I've nothing against the art of expression, but the meaning behind Sid Vicious and what he represented is completely opposite from what her brand represents as a member of Twice. The man literally wore Swastikas and images depicting both straight and gay pornography on his clothing in public for one reason: to get a reaction out of people. His whole ideology was to tell people to piss off, to burn down the establishment and what not. I don't know how much she's aware of that history, or if she's just playing 'dress up' as many people do when they get into a punk or alternative style. I'm leaning more towards the latter, but if she wants to engage in this form of expression then she's going to have to answer for it. Saying, "I just didn't know" tells me that she only wore it because she thought it looked cool and he's a punk guy. Disappointing.
