Every time you place obsidian in bedrock you have a chance to make this pattern that appears to resemble a swastika. I felt like this was needed to be brought up after the vindicator animation incident. This issue is really simple to fix, just remove "isotropic": true (or set it to false) in the blocks.json file. This will also make more parity between java and bedrock

I understand the concern, but I think you're overreacting. For one thing, the Nazi swastika is right-facing and aligned at a 45 degree angle, whereas this pattern is left-facing and aligned at closer to a 30 degree angle. For another thing, according to the Wikipedia entry for swastika:
The swastika continues to be used as a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Hindu and Buddhist countries such as Nepal, India, Mongolia, China and Japan. It is also commonly used in Hindu marriage ceremonies.
The word swastika comes from Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक, romanized: svástika, meaning 'conducive to well being'. In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ('sun'), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (卍) is called sauvastika, symbolizing night or tantric aspects of Kali.
... Reverence for the swastika symbol in Asian cultures, in contrast to the West's stigmatization of the symbol, has led to misinterpretations and misunderstandings.
The symbol is also a character in Chinese and Japanese.
That just looks like a star. Saying it resembles a swastika is a stretch.
