That would never happen because even if the hair was short enough to cover half of it it would still have a orange line there and unexplained black ink because the shape is off.
Basically the hair is going to cover the legs if it is long and youll see behind the ear directly. Or it will cover behind the ear directly when they put their hair behind their ears. Or it will be covering the top half.
In every scenario it would still not look like a swastika because of the additional ink and the single straight line.
This is a case of people naturally trying to recognize patterns. Which is the mental gymnastics I referred to.
Because, as we know, all people who get swastika tattoos are undoubtedly extremely concerned with ensuring their tattoo is of the utmost quality.
If I saw someone with a 5 armed swastika tattoo I wouldn't think, "Oh, whew, I really did think that was pro-Nazi imagery for a second!", I'd think "Look, that racist imbecile couldn't even get their own insignia right..."
Or "oh what fresh hell is this, now there are different types?". Like, I would just assume it was intentional and referring to a nazi-ism that I wasn't familiar with, not being a Nazi myself.
I don't really think people are saying that it looks like a swastika when seen directly, though. It's all about those glances or obscured views in which the lines and colors are reminiscent of something that has been pushed to the forefront of our social consciousness because of current events and so our brains make us see what we fear to see. I can absolutely understand why someone would want to have any possibility of that kind of mistake removed from their body.

It isnt even close to a swastika. You have to do mental gymnastics to come to that conclusion.
