We didn't decide that.

Just like "we" didn't decide on "latinx" or "woman" or that "white lives matter" and the "ok" gesture were racist.

Our "betters" decided those things on our behalf and simply called us racist misogynist incels if we didn't comply.

Well, it’s not really OK, you need to spread the fingers to make it look like WP.

(I find it ironic how all these dimwits adopt behaviors and attitudes from the ghetto gangs they would claim are their cultural anti-model.)

You have to spread the fingers to form OK sign.

Dimwits? You mean 4chan that used media to make neutral sign look racist? Or the white supremacists that took the free advertisement and appropriated a common sign?

The only dimwits are the media companies that contributed to it.
