I just got my knuckles rapped on an american audio forum for posting the attached photos of a client order.
Client wanted 4 pairs of each type of cable and some nice photos to go with them, so I happily obliged.

Can't think why anyone would take any offence. Can you?

With no prior prompting most would simply see photos of wires. Clearly once your hunting for something racist you can find it. Guess the first folk to pick it up are pre wired that way. :wink:

I'm at a loss too. All I see are some nice looking cables, very neat work Chris_D!

Do put us out of our misery though, and share what has enraged the woke-mob so much

Ok, well the nonplussed responses from the Z4-forum are quite encouraging at least!
Apparently some people on the audio forum saw / were reminded of the same geometry as found in the Swastika.

As Buzylar stated, I too only realised the connotation after it was pointed out to me by others, but by that time it was too late to remove the post. I had already been temporarily banned by the mods there.

All I saw when I arranged the cables for the photos was a nice pattern that filled out the lightbox underneath nicely.
That's over-sensitive, paranoid WOKEism for you these days!

Could look like a swastika I suppose, to Stevie Wonder, at night, during a total eclipse.

Maybe a top-down pic would make it seem clearer...

...and for the ones who still can't see the resemblance, here's a Swastika to remind you...

Feck me that's a tenuous link. Someone was trying really hard to take offence there

I did see the very slight resemblance but thought no I'm way off the mark so didn't post what I thought 🤡

PC overdone, why on earth would anyone take offence, crazy :thumbsdown:
