Here is a link to the wikipedia page that contains some history of the swastika. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned that the symbol itself really didn't have any negative meaning for most of its history.

I should add, I do understand if 2+2 would decide not to allow avatars of the Nazi symbol since this forum's main purpose is a marketing tool.

I believe this is the main reason this site probably shouldn't want people using swastika avatars. Regardless of how much logical sense it makes, I think more people would be put off by that image than an avatar which contains nudity. The main base of 2+2 is overwhelmingly male. It's hard for me to imagine that (primarily young) men are more likely to be offended by a topless woman than a swastika.
It just makes sense for 2+2 to play it safe with
actual swastikas, IMO.
