It's use of language. Use the words that would not provoke, insult of make
feel bad anyone.

I doubt the thread would ever come up, if the function were named
PaintCrookedCross as Ondrej pointed.
Anthony was going through the documentation and the word "Swastika"
clicked. Swastika = Nazis, by default these days.
(Even though is still used for example by Finnish defense forces)

In the end Mattias applied a reasonable technical solution to the political
(yes, it is) problem.

thanks,
Dmitry
