I honestly don't know the answer to this, but: Has somebody asked the person who got arrested whether the swastika means something closer to "I think nazis are good", or instead something closer to "I think some people in some political groups who align themselves with the LGBT community share some attributes with nazis"?
There's an odd mindset around this sort of thing in some internet circles, in which for example a book that contains a fictional evil person is assumed to be the same thing as an evil book, almost by definition. Isn't that part of what people are reacting to when they are outraged when this sort of arrest happens?
