Guess this will be blurred out in old movies and shows that show it the original way?

How do you read somebody saying something is now being deployed nefariously and draw "woah are they gonna retrospectively remove it from every old picture or video of it now??" from it

Its dumb to let assholes take common signs and expressions away from everyone else.

How about just use context clues when someone makes that sign to determine if they're doing it to be dickheads or not. Guess that's too hard though.

Where did the ADL say there isn't context?

From the ADLs report

The overwhelming usage of the okay hand gesture today is still its traditional purpose as a gesture signifying assent or approval. As a result, someone who uses the symbol cannot be assumed to be using the symbol in either a trolling or, especially, white supremacist context unless other contextual evidence exists to support the contention

The irony is that the 4chan meme that started this was explicitly designed to point out how stupid liberals are, and that they can be convinced that anything is a 'hate symbol.'

Liberals KNOW THIS, but fall for it anyway, 'just in case.'

Pretending to be nazis because they used the okay symbol to show that idiots like you will categorize anything as being a Nazi. Lol.

That's on me for not reading enough. That's good though. I was meaning in general though.

And of course right wingers try to make liberals look bad when they're the ones using the gesture for legit racist reasons. It's on you and your ilk for taking what was supposedly a meme and then actually believing it.
