The "ok" symbol is actually a hate symbol so maybe replace it with something else?

...Unless we change it to acknowledge it and then use it for desantis/trump/etc. stuff?

I actually hate how they took a harmless "okay" gesture and turned into that >:(

same. I've used it recently without thinking (because for most of my life it was okay and commonly used) and now I'm wondering whether people thought I meant anything by it. it used to be harmless. I hate that it's not harmless anymore.

Same. All my life it's just "a-okay!" gesture!

Now look what they've done! >:(

I thought it was only bad if you did it upside down?

Dude, it's still the OK symbol. They only succeed in turning it into that if non-white supremacists stop using it. For fuck's sake, they don't need the help.

I've been using it as a sign of acknowledgement/agreement, not passive-aggressiveness! Welp!

That is so weird…in my country (95% Black population) it is the governing party’s main symbol

In mine it's equivalent to an asshole 🫣🤭

I’m not giving up ok 👌🏻 irl

I know what it means amongst MAGA but they’re not in my life. I still use it with texts between my friends or family because I know we all mean it as originally intended. I hate that it’s been co-opted.

Ya I do think, for all our faults here, we can be assured that people aren't secret drumpf supporters

Yeah, fuck them for stealing it. I'm not taking it away in my daily texting. My friends know that I'm not suddenly in a heinous cult, and I doubt they even know what this symbol now means for this revolting cult.....
