    Eh, I disagree. Either the w or the p are going to be upside down.
    The nazis stole the “ok” symbol a few years ago.

    We can pretend it doesn’t mean it if you want

      Pepe was also stolen back in 2016 or so, but that one got reclaimed by people “pretending” that it wasn’t a symbol of hate. The ok-sign shouldn’t even need to be reclaimed since it has such strong previous connotations. But if you do think that it is, and that every cheff doing the chefs kiss or a scuba diver saying “I’m ok” with their hand is actually doing a nazi hate symbol, then it too should be reclaimed.

        Yeah, I heard about this and completely ignored it. Until someone pulls me aside and tells me I’m flashing a hate symbol, I’m giving the okay. And even then, I’d only change my behavior for that one person. No way am I changing a 25±year habit for some fascist culturally appropriating fucks.
