Why is my default avatar (in the Firefox/Mozilla support forum) a swastika?

Yes, I know I have an option to edit or change my avatar in my profile, but I live in Idaho, a state that was somewhat notorious in the 90s for far-right-wing activities in the northern panhandle. I also realize the swastika predates the Nazi party by millennia, but it's just a very wee bit disturbing to see that form assigned to my user profile as a default. I don't want other readers to assume that I chose that avatar for myself....in case it should offend other forum users, or give them ideas about MY ideology.

(At first look I thought it was some sort of QR code for me.....until I clicked on it and saw it was "my" avatar.)

If that is a "standard" system-generated avatar, can the system be modified to remove that form, on Firefox's end? I'm not all that "pc", but the fact it bothered me enough to ask this question has me wondering if anybody else is bothered by it?

HI b2young, Please PM Madalina about this, she is the community lead. However if you need help changing it, I believe there are other options as the default when you log into my avatar.

Cheers.
