Now = 6 years ago

And, it was laughably stupid even then.

SCUBA divers everywhere have been drowning ever since, lest they appear racist.

''Now'' meaning -- has been for over a decade now. There was a ''funny'' video back in 2012 or something about a sheboon complaining how a clown was doing this ''white supremacist handsign''... with her little nigglet in the picture DOING THE VERY SAME, NORMAL thing.

It would be easier to list things that are not listed as hate symbols.

I use it often. Always have.
I've never gotten any pushback.
When the waitress comes to my table to ask if everything is ok and my mouth is full, I flash the hand sign.

Back in school in the 80's, we'd do it and whoever looked at it got punched in the arm hard. I would place it on my knee or some other place and the moment they fucked up and looked BLAM!

The circle game. Yes and it was popular in the 90s and even in the early 2000's

We, Gen X, invented it.

remember when the OK hand gesture was connected to 666?

[ - ] dassar 0 points 4 monthsJan 21, 2025 15:35:57 ago (+0/-0)

Yep, i remember that too with Satanic panic in the 80'S.

[ - ] TheNoticing 1 point 4 monthsJan 21, 2025 10:10:05 ago (+1/-0)

Oh no whatever will divers do to signal ok.

Pfft, I go out of my way to emphasise the thumbs up emoji to zoomers in txt messages.

Has been for quite a while now. I thought it was a joke when 4chaners wanted to social media meme this from being 'OK' to 'white power', but those autists made it happen.

.....by the ADL.

Does this have any legal recognition? Probably not.

Hey is the middle finger listed as a symbol of hate? Because it actually is.
