Top 10 Most Controversial Symbols

The Top Ten

  1. Swastika

    The mother of all hate symbols! Millions of innocent people died under Hitler's regime. The swastika will forever be a disgusting symbol of hate and a reminder of what could have been prevented.

    It was a peaceful symbol, representing good luck, but people soon believed it to be racist after the Nazis stole it and put it on their flag.

    This ancient symbol can be found in Native American artwork, Egyptian stone carvings, and many other cultures long before the Nazi party.

  2. Confederate Flag

    Throughout the 20th century, this flag was not widely viewed as a racist symbol but rather as a symbol of Southern pride. Many Southerners fly this flag because they love where they live and aren't racist at all. However, racists also use this flag, which begs the question: Who does this flag actually represent? I think it depends on your motive for flying it. Either way, it is extremely divisive and has no business being on state or government buildings.

    A couple of weeks ago, I was swimming at Lake Martin, and when I saw a boat with the Confederate flag up, I was very ticked off. I even called them racists!

  3. Jihadist Black Flag

  4. Blood Drop Cross

  5. Burning Cross

  6. Hammer and Sickle

    I am not offended by the hammer and sickle, but it does have a bad reputation. It was originally a symbol of equality. However, it is now a symbol of totalitarianism and a reminder of the millions that were murdered under Stalin's regime.

    Saturn had a sickle, and Saturn represents Satan.

  7. Flag of Israel

  8. Rainbow Flag

    I'd rather have the Confederate flag flying over my house. I'm a Christian, and I feel like this mocks God's creation, the rainbow. But just because I hate this symbol doesn't mean I'm a homophobe.

    This symbol is offensive to me. The rainbow was created by God as a promise not to flood the Earth again. I don't hate anybody, but of all the symbols the LGBTQ+ community could have chosen, they chose the rainbow. It's just sad.

    Wow, no wonder it was very controversial. I understand why the flag is hated, but I shouldn't need to explain that to you.

  9. Flag of North Korea

  10. Inverted Pentagram

    I feel that the idea of the inverted cross implying evil is a hypothetical case. Many I've had a conversation with blatantly dismiss this notion and deem it to be a huge misconception, believing it is connected with the history of St. Peter being executed upside down, as he considered himself unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus Christ. Even thorough research led me to this conclusion.

    The symbol of dark magic. It used to represent the five senses but gained a bad reputation due to its association with evil magic and witchcraft.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Fetrah Flag

  12. ?

    Iron Cross

    13. The Contenders

  13. Rising Sun Flag

    This may not be the most controversial symbol, especially not more than the swastika, but I consider it far worse. Imperial Japan was almost infinitely worse than Nazi Germany in my opinion.

    I think that Japan still uses this flag on their naval ships. And to think that flying the WWII Nazi German war flag will land you in prison!

  14. Illuminati Symbol

  15. Make America Great Again Sign

    This should be ranked WAY higher than the rainbow flag. At least the rainbow flag doesn't promote hate and utter stupidity like the MAGA flag does.

  16. Nazi Flag

    It is an interesting, well-designed flag, but it represents xenophobia in general.

  17. Puzzle Piece Symbol

  18. Apartheid Flag of South Africa

    It has become a symbol of white supremacy, not just in South Africa but also worldwide.

  19. Kekistan Flag

  20. Atomic Whirl

    Okay, that is TOTALLY one of my ultimate symbols right there. Read my profile to understand what I'm talking about.

  21. Flag of Kosovo

  22. Feminazi Symbol

    Yeah, women should be a little more modest and stop throwing their fists around.

  23. Inverted Cross

    If you look at it sideways, you can see the base for the flags of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland.

  24. Yin-Yang Symbol

  25. Washington Redskins Logo

    I've heard people complain about it being offensive.

  26. Flag of Taiwan

    This flag is controversial because it was once the flag of China, not just Taiwan. Back when China was a republic, this was their flag. Because of its history of freedom and democracy, the People's Republic of China has banned it.

  27. Golion's Sigil
