It's a risk I run only when I'm dealing with Americans apparently, since in my country it's just a normal symbol, and up to now I've always associated with people from my own country or at most the rest of Europe or Asia and Africa both in real life and online. Maybe I should keep it that way, I don't know all things about American culture, just as I am sure you people from the US don't know everything about other countries and what's happening there, and if I'll risk doing something wrong every time I click the "sumbit" button and have to worry over it for days, I'd rather keep to my small bubble. I know this may sound like overreacting to it and it probably is, but I'm really sorry for how things went, I don't even want American white supremacists to ever have an interest in me just because I used what in my country is just a funny, happy sign, that and the fact that I already have several things that are difficult to deal with in my life and I don't want to receive other kinds of worry in my free time; I've already received much stress from this misunderstanding alone, and while for a neurotypical or emotionally stable person it might seem like a stupid point of view, for a person that's already battling with other stressful and energy-draining problems it's not. I'll just keep posting my dumb pictures where people won't misinterpret is as something else, just as I've always done up to now. I'm sorry that a light-hearted and positive thread turned into such a mess because of me, I wish I'd never posted my picture here
I see. I didn't know in America racists were open about being racist and even proud of it. In my country we do have a racism problem as well, but it's kinda seen as a shameful thing by a lot of people and usually racists try to stay "in the closet" about it or try to deny the fact they're racist not to be criticized by people. The few people who are openly and proudly racist in my country are seen as deranged and to be avoided, so it was automatic for me to assume that no one in their sane mind would deliberately post a picture of themselves using a racist symbol or admit it proudly when they're asked about it. I see that in the end it was just a cultural problem, as a person coming from outside the US I can't know everything about it, just like Americans can't know everything about other countries, not to mention that the media here have hardly talked about the protests and the bits of information you can gain online from here are not very specific
