      Like, I'm a lifelong SCUBA diver. The OK symbol is the universal sign for "are you ok?". I'm never going to stop using it. It's part of ASL as well. So what's the point in giving it up to the huwite soups?

      I think @chaosprime made the point of far rightists basically claiming shit by licking it. Basically accepting the whole ok sign thing seems fruitless, because you could never use it to accurately identify a skinhead. Much like being bald. Skinheads = bald, but bald != skinheads.

      Yes, you could call having a shaved head a contextual signal. Subcultures love contextual signals. Noticing them helps us better understand these subcultures.

      This is literally just about people like y'all trying to claim that noticing things about a context dependent subcultural signifier means that one wishes to ban that signifier in all cases, which is dumb as fuck and a core part of the right wing messaging on this issue

      I literally don't see anything in this thread or the original one to do with "banning" the sign. Just applying social implications to it, which would only serve to fuck with a large portion of the normal population. Seems like a bad idea to me.

      Like, what does it accomplish? DudeA: flashes ok, also talks about european identity DudeB: flashes ok. DudeA is a whitesoup due to context, but the identifier's already there in the other action. Making ok a "maybe" signifier only makes dim people think dudeB is maybe a nazi.

      so our nuanced context sensitive analysis lets us identify people as alt-right who we already know are alt-right but you know sooner or later a DudeB is going to get set on fire

      And because of this you are, what, arguing that we commit to ignoring this thing that's obviously used as a contextual ingroup signifier? I just don't get what actual position you're advocating for, here.

      less "commit to ignoring" than "calm the fuck down" the more people work themselves into a tizzy about the evil hand signs, the sooner we get the first "wore a red shirt into a crips neighborhood" incident

      i think mass murder is well past the point at which a symbol can be salvaged it happens, symbols get corrupted, such is life

          I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time, and non-astronomical timescale at that, till majority of conceivable gestures has both a "lets make it evil" chan thread and a mass murderer flashing it

          Imagine unilaterally declaring a part of these events as off limits to discussion because in other contexts it's used as an innocous hand sign.
