Before. Why now? Why I cant I use it as a sign of good will. Why do these morons steal it and make it their own? Can we take it back or is it tainted forever?

4Chan : We'll pretend the okay symbol is a Nazi symbol.
Nazi: The okay symbol is a Nazi symbol? I'm using it all the time now.

If it gets co-opted by white nationalist jackasses, it's no longer trolling and just empowering jackasses

I used to use the OK symbol in high school so I had an excuse to punch my friedns. We all did it.

A bunch of really racist people co-opt a symbol and start using in for themselves, start trying to code them into conversation. People call out the racist people for co-opting the symbol and start pointing out and punishing people using it in things. Racist people somehow take this as "victory" and don't comprehend the idea of what they did and how it can apply to oodles of things.

It can be pretty frustrating watching people come so close to understanding how society and language work and then utterly failing and collapsing steps away from the finish line

The thing people saying "It's just a 4chan joke!" don't understand is that when a bunch of people from /pol/ and adjacent groups start trying to play up the joke by using it in real life, that just makes it a signal used by white supremacists.

Like it doesn't matter whether the white supremacists are doing it ironically or not.

Because /pol/'s goal is to ruin shit for people, so this was very clearly a victory for them.
