So is this how it looks when correctly arranged in the clock formation and you look at the back?

Honestly if anything it would've been the designer. I don't think she's dumb enough to bother putting dogwhistles in her cover art for her 12 year old girl fans

No, the “swastika” is not how it looks when it’s correctly arranged, you have to rearrange it to get the swastika lol

Lmfao

the Nazi allegations are sending me  I am living for this kind of drama

like ok, let’s say she’s using Nazi symbolism (she’s not), Nazism is ideology not a brand, when did she ever do anything that goes with this ideology?

Like others said, it's so easy to make a swastika by mistake while rearranging L-shaped stuff.

Fans actually are not supposed to rearrange the variants, it makes a clock and is meant to be displayed that way. It is not meant to be rearranged as you claim, that was never the goal. It doesn't even make a Swastika if you flip everything over, that is only possible, as you admit, after manipulation and rotating to fit whatever thing you see. 

Originally, the fans ate it up saying "She's so deep and intentional" but somehow now it's "It's not that deep". 

Let's break this down, she is deep and intentional when it comes to her work. Swift has made it abundantly clear that easter eggs relate to her musical output. So it is that deep if you are talking about what album could be coming next, or what event she could be talking about or the symbolism of the lyric and what feeling that portrays.

HOWEVER it does not and has not extended to Swift's political views - which she had made abundantly clear are left leaning multiple times, endorsing democratic candidates, encouraging voting and her advocacy for the Equality Act. So it is not that deep when you are trying to make Swift seem like a Nazi because of your own delusions based off a TikTok, go and talk to a normal person and you'll see that people are not looking for Swastika's or Nazi symbolism in their everyday lives because they are not NAZIS and have no reason to be. 

Graphic designers are intentional, I would know, I am one. This is a ridiculous thing to be looking for as it completely divorces the original intention from the design. Bad faith interpretations will always be there when you are the biggest artist in the world, as you currently display.

Overall, If she really wanted to make it look like a Swastika she would have, but she did not because she is not a Nazi. Please focus your energy and apparent care on people who are actually Nazis instead of trying to frame people you do not like a Nazis and looking foolish while you do it. 

In regards to the "rearrange" portion, unless the 4 variants came with instructions, fans ARE supposed to arrange the pieces themselves. That is what that is speaking on. If fans are supposed to build the clock themselves, arranged by themselves, then there will always be the ambiguity for them to "explore" the Easter Egg.

The ppl doing this are actually beyond disgusting. Attention seekers using very serious topics to make a buck on TikTok. Shameful

It’s like 99.9% of the people in this thread didn’t watch the video until the end

the clock had instructions


you cannot arrange it in any other way, because then it won't be a clock

What annoys me about this is that if it were any other artist, even if we knew it wasn’t intentional, we’d expect a public apology for the mistake. 
 

Maybe the reason people are so eager to hold Taylor accountable is because she rarely holds herself accountable. She’s never in the wrong. In my opinion, it would just be good manners to show some embarrassment for the situation and offer an apology for the mistake.

With how much attention she says she puts into detail, and how she even prides herself on making everything deliberate, I'd be shocked nobody on her team pointed it out to her/figured it out... maybe nobody did just to **** with her or maybe they did and she shrugged it off.

As ridiculous as this whole thing is, she has not helped herself by sucking her own **** on how much attention she puts into everything and how much she loves to "hide" things for fans (Which quite honestly she has taken too far and I think now does it just for repeated views and headlines, because one or two homages/easter eggs are cool, but this bitch has just exhausted it)

Basically what i was about to say. Is she expected to apologize because people rearranged the albums against their original design to willingly form a swastika? I don't think that's how it works lol
