In my culture the swastika is a symbol of peace and flow in the universe.
Do not alienate us Asian furries with your propaganda, FurAffinity.
Banning such symbols is incredibly racist, I had pictures removed of this from my FA account and also Facebook, it had nothing to do with Nazi.

I am not national socialist we never had Nazi in my country, though I find it odd you hate the Nazi party because their war crimes as your own forefathers did the same to my country. War is a cruel thing but you have tortured and enslaved many people yourself and your Western culture is socialist anyway, which is what the Nazi want and banning things they teach people not to like while being the same thing... I do not respect the Nazi thugs who pretend they are Nazi but I do not respect someone dressing up as the Knights from Europe who slaughtered and maimed my race for centuries more than your Nazi group.
I think there is two main points here, that this is a terrible move against free speech and affecting and disrespecting cross-cultural meanings, and that the idea that dressing up as one form of soldier is any worse than any other kind. You should ban knights, American terrorist, all your country and regime clothing and all clothing all together because civil war is a thing, too. Bad behaviour should be banned, not identities, not freedom, not free speech.
And besides on this, I don't know about your culture entirely but your word for art comes from Latin artus, and FA is an art site. As art means "to articulate" many sources, then surely people should be able to depict whatever they wish, whether they support it or not. You have a film called "Iron Sky" and war films too, is it wrong to depict in fan art? The film depicts Nazis, portrayed good and bad within their space, it described transforming Nazi and I find that odd that your culture is fine with that though I don't see anything wrong with it since it encourage Nazi to invent a "good Nazi" as senseless as it sounds to me...
One of the earliest big furry comic had nazis in it as like many furry comic of the time it had fighting characters, war and adventure. Artists have depicted from the angle of what is seen as good and evil and provided emotional roleplay and story from both sides, there is "cops and robbers" (popular kids game and game theme e.g. Grand Theft Auto), "commando and Nazi" (popular kids game and video game theme e.g. Wolfenstein, Call of Duty). And is also depicting Nazi in bad light bad within art or depicting those who were forced to be Nazi and their emotional stories?
Now it's not even furry genre anymore... A lot is porn and cute things which I am fine with but remember that furry evolved from action sci-fi to contrast funny animal, in a way furry started as "soldier-ified" cartoon animal and the popular old greats like Usagi Yojimbo, Albedo Anthropomorphics, are not based on background war and fighting themes? If this continue, I think it's clear FA don't even know what furry fandom was a fandom for, it just become cute animal fandom which were nothing new and commonplace... Do note destroy these unique things, that's what Nazis do.
I think Nazi has become to refer childishly (ad hitlerum) in your culture illogically towards anything you don't agree with and immediately you feel like you need to sound truthful by banning anything Nazi too, but the irony is that banning all that you do not like was the Nazi ideology you painted upon Nazis in the first place. To be anti-Nazi in your mind is to prevent those who destroy freedoms, yet you cannot prevent the freedom of such without preventing their freedom. And in the edit of it all you're just going over the same thing humanity has done for millennia, warring, you are trying to prevent one ideology for the ideology you are fed, just like Nazis, anti-Nazis, your ally and your enemy. When instead of all of that you could just encourage and reward people for good behaviour and for as long as furry is itself disliked by the outside, furry is no candidate for promoting that to the public. If no one is hurt physically, and no one chooses to hurt emotionally, then why ban it, if they start gathering firearms and start killing people, I'd agree, but only for that individual. If you told me that furries would be disputing Nazi ideology drama (yes it is, just drama) 10-20 years ago, everyone would have laughed it off, and I remember they did.
This drama is simply another reason why humanity has become an absolute shame for all those before it who shaped the world. You wouldn't have even had your modern internet technology if it wasn't for your "World" Wars, actually a lot of your technology came from Nazis, I suppose you should stop using that, too. In respect to all those who died in the world wars, you weren't even born yet, it wasn't your fight. You don't have a say in what was right or wrong and I've spoken to both who were considered war hero from both sides before they had died and I had so many different opinion, you're actually disrespecting their wishes. So many hate your system anyway so you could see Nazi as an attempt to change that back then, since like now liberalism was at its peak and thus austerity. I'm not going into history but that the European Union office is hosted so many times in Germany among businesses that were grounded in Nazi Germany, shouldn't you be asking who won the war anyway. They like you to obsess over Nazism in the furry fandom instead of your own politicians in Europe and America.
So no, you don't have a say in what is ok or not on the Nazi subject, if you want to be like Nazis yourself. I can see why Neo Nazis exist, they exist because they're the monster your over-consumerist society has allowed to be so corrupt for so long, while some are just soft trolls and other are hard headed thugs, Nazi is an old thing, and I can think of older similar groups. You're becoming the Nazi, Western culture, a mix mash of confused angsty people with no idea or vision of the future. What even is your idea of the future, in the modern furry ideologies or Western culture at all? Many say you want world peace, but everyone had said that for a long time, but with corruption people also want revenge, and with boredom people want change. Why do you expect people to all want the same thing anyway. You are indeed, indoctrinating as per things like this, racist as just like so many of you want to crush race for a unified world in your obscene embarrassing Western utopian image (much of Asia does not want your corrupt ideals and when you start there, like with NK (which you steal oil from on outlying islands) we will equally wage war!) You are becoming the Nazi race, and before you turn the furry fandom into yet another freedom-crushing, anti-peace symbol, polygamous anti-romantic, unicorn-prided hug-a-wahabi, pro-cutesy-no-backbone, human-body-hating transhumanist erotic-target-location erroneous Western scum blatantly racistly remove my culture's peace symbols and label them along the same lines as what you perceive as a cruel warlord race ever again, I will be personally writing to Kim Jung Un to speed up his advances on your ridiculous, laughable, as you Americans call it, fucked-up culture.
