The misunderstanding of this logo is a great example of the problem with symbolism right now.
Symbolism requires another type of literacy that we're lacking collectively.

I think one thing I’m grateful for that statistics has helped me with is how to properly research before reposting blindly.
Example A:
The chain worn around Kendrick’s neck and flown on flags was not “a minor” It was the logo of his entertainment company “pgLang” which he revealed in 2020.

-what does that symbol normally mean?
-who's using it?
-why are they using it?
-how are they using it?
-why are they using it that way?
Collectively, we're undisciplined and don't ask these questions in our heads or out loud.
It's also how people who use lazy symbolism and make bad art get away with it — they just SAY what it means even as that contradicts their use of symbols.
We assume a meaning instead of verifying.
For these reasons, symbolism is. . . dangerous territory right now.
