https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-07-07-infinity-ward-quietly-removes-ok-gesture-from-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-and-warzone#comments
Here is my thing; why are companies playing to the racist' tune? Also the actual symbol is a upside-down version of the OK gesture (afaik unless both flips now mean the same thing). All this is going to do is Racists are just going to hijack another general hand gesture like a Thumbs Up, Fist Pump, etc to distort it; we gonna remove those too until there is no hand gestures left for Racist to hijack? Symbolic removals has done nothing; you need to attack the source rather than the symptom. EDIT - So I see Supremacy Clowns did hijack the upper flip of the gesture too. >_> --- Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme dat DramaFAQs-misterbum ... Copied to Clipboard!

We should make a new one up and start an outrage trend. Maybe. The peace sign, two fingers sticking up. Humm two fingers like the two crossing bars on the Confederate flag, fingers are pointing up at the sky where the stars are. Peace sign = Confederate flag sign! PEACE SIGN IS RACIST!

Bit late for that, isn't it? I mean, the rest of the world has already moved on from that 'hand gesture being racist' tomfoolery.
If I was racist, I'd have claimed literally everything in existence including life itself as a racist gesture by now, so that literally everyone who is not racist would irrespressibly feel the urge to show everyone how not-racist they are by abstaining from literally everything in existence including life itself. But fortunately I am not racist. --- The secrets of the ancient world have been unearthed. The shackles of false histories destroyed. Together we stand as the authors of destiny. ...

When 4chan gets the thumbs up banned I wonder if they will go with "1 finger up, 4 together, zomg 14 words!!!" or simply a "one thumb rising supreme over the other fingers like our race!" or some other stupid bullshit

So from what I was reading; this was 4chan forums doing; they successfully trolled.That's where it started, at least. Basically, they made a troll post saying it's rooted in slavery. Some gullible people on the internet actually took it seriously, even though most people knew it was obviously fake. Then the alt right started using it to "troll the dumb libs" by thinking they're pretending to be racist, even though by doing so jokingly and hiding behind the "I'm just being ironic" defense, they're still basically being racist by association. So now that it has prevalent usage within a racist subculture, NOW it's officially considered a racist gesture. --- ...I think I'm done here... ... Copied to Clipboard!
