Yes but that's irrelevant to my point. If it were universally offensive it'd be just banned entirely, but in fact it's allowed to be plastered everywhere as long as you're using it in ways those in power approve of (to criticise their political opposition).
The symbol itself, therefore, isn't offensive. Otherwise Germans would be up in arms at their government for allowing it.
