It's the cross of St. Peter. It symbolizes his martyrdom. When Peter was sentenced to death, he asked that the cross be turned upside down as a symbol.
Yet when people wear the upside down cross they say they wear it to represent Peter. When did we start representing Peter? Peter is a man. Jesus is our Lord and Savior. I’m pretty sure if Peter were here today he would say focus on Jesus Christ, not me. So the upside down cross, to me, is insulting either way. Peter was worthy of a right side up cross to be crucified on. As Jesus was. As we all are worthy, those who follow Christ. Peter requested, and so they gave that to him. But I don’t think anyone should ever say they are unworthy to be like Christ. We all aim to be like Christ. We will fail. But we try.
You're welcome. I mean, these days, anything that was once pure in nature can be turned into something evil. I wouldn't wear a cross upside down and would have to look at it in context of the situation to determine if it's meaning is being misused.
Typically the placement of the cross intersection represents the destination of the spirit. Standard: up for heaven (Jesus ascended), Celtic: center (God with us), Satanic: down (hell). The Catholics ones are representing the crosses of martyrs. The Eastern Orthodox one with the third slanted bar represents the differing fates of those crucified with Jesus. Early crosses and swastikas represent God as creator and source of all things, with the circle and arms of the swastika representing the cycle of the seasons and progress. Cross, and wheel like symbols with six or twelve legs are referring to the zodiac as part of the seasonal cycles.

Probably not,they are rather just subverting the symbol like Hitler subverted sōwilō rune and svastika. For them it is just cross upside down.
I don't think they're overblown, as every cross and crucifix represents the one Jesus sacrificed himself on.

Yes, but modern themes are anti-Christian/ occult.
Not an expert, but apparently Peter (the rock) the disciple was crucified on an upside-down cross.
Luciferians tend to do things in "opposite" light/dark, up/down, etc.
