MemberThe swastika is a small accent in Snow's suit, but is in no way a nazi symbol in its depiction.
The swastika symbol is an ancient religious icon in the cultures of Eurasia, commonly used as a divine symbol in Indian religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism
Snow in game references likely dharmic values in demeanor and battle and is the swastika is likely a reference to this cultural identity rather than nazi idealogy.
The right facing tilted form became a nazi symbol after the 1930s and is commonly associated in the west with nazism and antisemitism, despite its ubiquitous use in Indian religiouns.
The west seems to equate the swastika with the nazis, although it is still commonly used in southeast asia and the pacific islands. Its use is of course used with reservation, but the swastika in design is used with good intentions here!
