Online fashion retailer Shein has removed a necklace it described online as a"swastika pendant necklace" after a huge backlash.

The necklace was on sale for $2.50. The website doesn't appear to have any further products for sale with that description. Stop Antisemitism, an advocacy organization, posted a screenshot of the necklace on its Instagram page and wrote,"we demand that #shein IMMEDIATELY remove this item from their website as it represents the mass murder of millions." Less than an hour after the post was uploaded to Instagram, the necklace was removed.

Just a huge no-no! Btw, in Serbian, the word svastika means sister-in-law :)

That is the Buddhist swastika.... fact check before trying to “cancel” shit all the time 🙄 buzzfeed lookin so ignorant.

What makes people think this is okay EVER? WTF is wrong w people

why don’t people realise this meant to be the buddhist symbol of peace as the nazi swatsika is flipped and on an angle? pls educate yourself on other cultures

The majority of the world see a swastika not a religious symbol. Sometimes I think people don't think beyond the moment. Then try to spin it in another direction when they get caught.

The Swastika is an ancient eastern symbol signifying innocence. Hitler used a reverse version of it along with black magic he learned from the Tibetian lamas.

Hitler was obsessed with the symbol so he stole it just like someone with no originality and turned it in the opposite direction and tilted it. Not the same AT ALL.

Umm education always clears up confusion but that’s why we are in the predicament we are in because of media lies buddhistsymbolofpeace

I know where I'm not going for Christmas.

Not great. The trouble is, it’s widely used in South Asia. Has been for thousands of years. Hundreds of companies are called Swastika this, Swastika that, widely used in logos across India. It’s the context it’s used in.

Totally unnecessary to display this symbol of Nazi Germany and their horrific place in history.

If you turn the pendent around it’s actually a symbol considered auspicous by lots of indians.

OMG. Swastika going clockwise is Native American symbol for peace. Swastika going counterclockwise (as shown) is a Nazi symbol. Dumb asses.

the swastika was originally a symbol for Buddhism, Hinduism and more. dont be a dumbass BuSSANUTfeed

It is an ancient Tibetan symbol. Could it be marketed that way? It’s considered an auspicious symbol.

NMblondewino Wtf?

Reminds me of that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode when Larry keeps drawing Hitler mustache's on people. Crazy to think this would happen in real life though, unbelievable!

Shein is a global brand and the swastika is a symbol with many styles and meanings and can be found in many cultures. But it must be because they are Nazis supporters, right? SMDH

dis fucking gusting.

Did they get a PPP loan?

Before being adopted by the fascists as their symbol it was widely known as a sign for good luck 🍀

_MoonInBloom Nothing surprises me of what some will sell for greed.

but the thing is you gotta actually flip it vertically to make it a swastik. otherwise, we all know what this is.

In Japan it is called Manji

can people stop buying fast fashion now

That is not swastika.

Flip it around it’s a Buddhist symbol. Double the entendre!

Shein is definitely responsible, but they’re a poorly managed retailer with stolen designs everywhere. It would also be nice to know the “designer” who got this thing through too

This is also a symbol of Buddhism and Hinduism. My landlord has these symbols on the front of his door he’s Hindu

WTF, Shein?

Guess who owned slaves? Mohammed.
