or piss. We love to piss on things we hate. Been doing it for centuries.
I think the whole heart thing comes from where you feel it and hate absolutely occupies the heart too. Same way we associate sadness with heartbreak.
The swastika is a fairly obvious symbol of hate, same with a white pointed hood.
They aren’t normally used in a generic fashion though.
Maybe a red lightsaber?
The Nazis appropriated it from other cultures. Being a fairly simple symbol, it shows up in religions around the world. “Nazis” are not the first thing most Indians think of when they see a swastika.
I agree that in western culture it’s pretty synonymous with a host of vile connotations, and it’s been successfully appropriated - like red baseball caps. But it’s not fair to the swastika, and it certainly isn’t a universal meaning for the symbol, whereas the heart has no other meaning for most people in the world; that is, of there’s any symbolism assigned to a heart by a person, it’s probably “love.”
I can’t suggest a similar, universal symbol for hatred, although as someone else suggested, a clenched fist is probably a good candidate. 👊🏽

It’s hate or Halloween though, they gotta share
The liver. It produces bile.
Robert Sternberg saw three main elements in hatred:
- a negation of intimacy, by creating distance when closeness had become threatening;
- an infusion of passion, such as fear or anger;
- a decision to devalue a previously valued object.
The front-facing fist 👊: Threatening, intense, replicable (most people have hands)
The down-facing knife 🔪: sharp, cold, calculated
There are also very specific symbols of hatred, like the swastika and the Nazi salute, white-hooded robes and burning crosses, the flag of the Daesh, the Z of the RAF for the West et al., but all of those are tied to certain ideologies and cultures and might not make any sense outside of relevant situations.
