>Competitive Overwatch
I don't know if I get happy for people finally realizing that blizzard is shit or sad that they only did it because of stupid internet politics..
funny
What's the problem here? A developer banned a gesture used by a toxic ideology responsible for taking millions of lives around the world
>I remember when some autists at /pol/ thought it would be funny to start telling everywhere that this hand sign is white power symbol
>few years later everyone actually believes this
it really is a clown world
see i thought the beta was really fucking fun. and ended up playing for a decent while before i quit. all the updates and balance changes just constantly sucked any soul out of the game.
L I T E R A L L Y started as a way to subvert the Left, to make them pissy. I swear to Christ, they're so fucking retarded.
Read this
5/10 bait, made me respond
This just proves they only follow whatever online outrage culture is currently bitching about to please them and they don't care about their actual player base at all.
Maybe they gave up on using google as the n-word too quickly
So commies use the okay symbol now?
That was how they got me too. Group of friends all played it and had a blast in the beta only to drop it before the first post-release character came along.
How the fuck is it a white power symbol?
Blizzard is so fucking retarded. If we manage to make the word "blizzard" an analog of "stormfront" or some shit, do you think they'll finally kill themselves?
Once upon a time, a person/persons with extreme ideologies did a gesture
I think what killed it for me was the retarded amount of healing and CC abilities they added to the game. shit was cancer
this can't be real
Why are aussie shitposter so effective?
/pol/ thought it would be funny to start associating it with white power as a lark
Abusing the NPCs' AI isn't that hard.
thanks for another clown facebook frog image to filter, almost have them all now.
Sorry but what? Even if thats true (its not its the universal sign for OK) you give them so much fucking power by doing this. You just aknowldged it in an official capacity you fucking idiots.
A blizzard is a type of stormfront.
>#PowerHandPrivilege
AHAHAHAHA FUCK
fucking kek
I love Tanya the quack quack
I want to protect that duck
#powerhandprivilege sounds like a cooler synonym for masturbation.
Because the clickbait media is willing to play along. There's no money in everyone getting along.
Can we please just fucking nuke california and every single "person" living there?
Do you have any idea how many brown lives you would wipe out? Think man! THINK!
Not enough
>"This cant be real"
>it is

That character is dual weilding white power symbols, wtf blizzard? I'm not putting my ads anywhere near this racist shit.
This one is even better because it highlights how they think their grievances are relevant at all when the hobby is mostly enjoyed as a solo experience. Yea Forums has more of a right to complain as public education leads people to insist that Fahrenheit 451 is about censorship. There aren't people invading your life with their shitty opinions, you just go to places to see opinions and to converse and like less of what you're seeing because the hobby has been mainstream for over a decade.
"pretend" it's a white power symbol. people start using it as one. congratulations it's now a white power symbol.
the same way drinking milk or wearing a safety west is
It's a white power symbol because it's used almost exclusively by white nationalists to signal they're a white nationalist, or by people being "ironic." In the rare case someone is using the gesture for its original intent, it's pretty easy to tell from context.
The whites that live in California are way worse
Guys, I've got the greatest idea. What if we made breathing a white power symbol? These retards will either have to kill themselves or join the white supremacy. Genius.
/pol/ on suicide watch
I can't believe it went this far lmao
>haha fucking libtards think I'm racist just because I used a hand gesture
>I mean I am racist, but that's besides the point
islam shoul fuck us up already
>make alt-right joke
>alt-right trolls with alt-right joke irl
>left gets mad
>act like they're dumb for calling people out for using alt-right joke that has become a symbol
Literally WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY tier.
Having said that, they should have either changed it a long time ago or just leave it alone. They go about these things in the dumbest ways possible.
What's it like being so young that you don't remember /pol/ memeing it into a white power sign? As well as not remembering the game around it or people just saying they are okay lol.
So how long until talking or even looking at each other in OWL is also forbidden?
>muh sjw gonna ruin everything
When will people realize that "woke" is but the next hipster trend? See also: New Age Movement
I mean random people from the internet achieving the same thing Nazi Germany did to the swastika is pretty impressive. Didn't even kill a single Jew.
Stay mad white boy
see >It was made up by people on the website you are on right now
>still think its real
This is the power of the leftist mind. You are retarded and need to seek help.
This, clearly we need to go farther. Scratching your nose, coughing, walking a certain way... The possibilities are endless.
>that has become a symbol
Imagine being this braindead.
/pol/, you need to understand this crucial distinction:
Convincing people something is a white power symbol when it really isn't = hilarious joke
Making something into a white power symbol by using it as one and then claiming you tricked people when they point it out = pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining.
This. It was created as a joke by racists to troll libcucks. It got a little bit of clickbait attention, some people fell for it, and the joke was used at least as a way to play with white nationalism as a joke to trigger the libs. It isn't a swastika, but the intention to poke fun at those who fear white nationalism, make it a wink and nod towards it at worst, a complete disregard to the consequences of normalizing white nationalism at best.
Of course it's real. You can easily perceive people actually using it out in the world. Just because it started as a shitpost that doesn't mean the measurable real-world consequences are somehow less real. 50 people died for shitposting last month.
>People who are too stupid and have literal meme ideology make a meme that they all choke down while begging for more.
What is sadder user, the people that react to retards, or the actual retards that adopt it unironically. I mean you can keep telling yourself they are just doing it to piss off the libs, but you know how this shit works.
This place has been a slippery slope of people taking ironic shitposting to life and not seeing that it was ironic all along to the point of fundamentally shifting discourse here. There are enough retards here that every single /pol/ meme shitfest that there are significant groups that shit themselves over taking it to heart.
For every shit opinion you meme about here as a laugh there are many here that believe it legitimately and whole heartedly. Not to say this isn't an overreaction to it, but really user, people here live their lives based on jokes they don't realise everyone else is in on that they take seriously.
It's not though and I'm pretty sure the swastika was appropriated as a symbol before muh six billion.
more like raining on your leg and telling its piss amirite
There are people brain dead to believing it to be a true symbol on both sides user, that's just the world we live in, filled with brain dead retards following blindly.
You can't see it but right now I'm doing an "ok" symbol with my hand at you because you and your post are ok in my opinion.
The twitter nonsense that literally no one saw had no effect on it becoming a white power symbol, prominent white power figures using it and everyone else following suit made it a white power symbol.
Except it is "real" in the sense that any symbol is real, people use it for that purpose. If suddenly the OWL chat is being flooded with OK emoticons it's pretty easy to understand what the intent is.
I thought I was on /pol/ for the past 10 minutes I spent reading through this thread.
Psychotic post. Donβt shoot up a school.
The proposed plan was to get the libs to freak out at innocent people using an innocuous signal and falsely accuse them of being Nazis. In practice it immediately turned out to be the complete opposite, with actual Nazis using it to tell people they're Nazis and then pretending they didn't known and it's just an innocuous symbol when people call them out. And now they're pretending these are actually the exact same thing and the plan worked perfectly and when you see right through what they're doing you're really falling for their clever trap.
It literally has been the universal symbol for "ok" for decades you fucking retards, a few trolls using it as a meme doesn't suddenly make it a hate symbol expect maybe in the deluded mind of a few paranoid lefties.
>If suddenly the OWL chat is being flooded with OK emoticons it's pretty easy to understand what the intent is.
Yeah, to mock blizzard for being fucking idiots.
Except that itβs an otherwise innnocent and relatively common hand sign and the racists arenβt the ones getting in trouble.
Racist pseudo science isn't science.
>It literally has been the universal symbol for "ok" for decades you fucking retards,
Yes, but that is irrelevant.
>a few trolls using it as a meme doesn't suddenly make it a hate symbol
It actually does. Symbols mean what they are used to mean.
Does this mean white power can claim any symbols? Can they take rainbows?
Why not just make Blizzard a term for white power? Accuse high level execs of racism. Be loud and annoying until media picks up on it.
#WhitePowder
>Everything can be a "white power symbol" now
I'm really looking foward to what shit /pol/ comes up with next.
Itβs also been the universal symbol for βIβm dogwhistling for white nationalism, hehe no one notices what Iβm doingβ for quite some time.
You guys arenβt as clever as you think.
>the racists arenβt the ones getting in trouble
[citation needed]
>science is only science when it aligns with my beliefs
One "OK" hand gesture coming your way my good sir.
They can try, I guess, but I doubt you'll get anyone to mistake a Pride Parade for a Nazi march.
This is exactly what /pol/ wants you to do.
>black people become a white power symbol
And its used to mean "ok" to the vast majority of people, and then the circle game to a larger group than it is a white power symbol
If leftists are retarded in performing a post-modern analysis for every element of human expression, the alt-right is retarded in the opposite direction where they don't understand a goddamn thing about how symbols work. When unironic, no bullshit white nationalists and other people who identify as alt-right start doing a thing to identify themselves, people aren't wrong for saying there's an association. People didn't take notice until faggots like Richard Spencer started doing it. At this point you're just making fun of lefties for being able to identify your dog whistles.
They are currently turning clowns into a hate symbol.
shhhh.........
Yes, please go ahead and try. You clearly don't actually understand any of the mechanisms at work here but I could use the laugh.
>decades
Yeah but it was also adopted as a legitimate thing even as a half joke because of it's effectiveness and subverting opinion on what it is. That is literally the foundation of almost all humor on this site, the problem being that just because you see it and take it as a joke, doesn't mean others won't take it seriously.
Not saying it's a new swastika, but it's shit that you can't just turn a blind eye too because the nature of propaganda is that it will always hone in on those who are weak to it, both in opposition and in support. It's literally happened countless times here where offhanded humor and in jokes started to be believed as more than just jokes, the reality being that there are always going to be retards with so little brain function to take seriously what you joke about.
And that's what this whole debacle over the okay symbol is, it's a joke to most except to those it isn't.
>make hand symbol
>get suspended without pay
>kill civilians
>get payed to sit at home
This. Completely disregarding the fact that the OK symbol is being used as a joke where the punchline is "people think white nationalism is scary" makes the symbol relevant to white nationalists is being dishonest. The emojis shouldn't be censored and the spray shouldn't be removed, but not at least being aware of this context is disingenuous and if you're aware of the context and do it anyway, don't be surprised if someone says something.
In the context of literally telling someone "okay" it can be fine.
Being this stupid should be a crime.
I fucking use this hand gesture on a daily basis it's used to show a sign of agreement and it eases the mind of people who see it. We are creatures of many social cues and tells people of great influence use the gesture a whole lot why you ask? Because it's reassuring to the masses the fact people have been convinced that it is a hate symbol only makes people want to troll them using it because it's the fucking easist out ever created "it's just me agreeing or saying okay" and it pisses the left off so hard. You can't win harder then that.
No it's not. /pol/ wants me to accuse people of being Nazis when they actually mean okay. They don't want me to recognise Nazis when they say they're Nazis. Surely you can understand the distinction? They're just saying this was their plan all along in a desperate bid to get people to stop calling them out.
user, YOU are /pol/βs dogwhistle.
YOU are what they want, you are their dogwhistle for βlook how insane the opposition isβ, and it world.
>Tfw even normal people know that shit isn't a white supremacy symbol despite the media regurgitated that crap during Brenton's trial
Top kek
The media is populated by a bunch of idiotic scavengers less intelligent than the average fruitfly, why the hell do you think they believed the Hugh Woatmeigh story that appeared after Elliot Rodger's shooting
I dont think you understand what "universal" means tranny
>At this point you're just making fun of lefties for being able to identify your dog whistles.
Dog whistles are signals that can only be heard by the intended audience.
If they can understand it then there are two possibilities:
1. They are not dog whistles
2. The lefties are nazis
In most contexts that's been lambasted by the media it's been meant to be used as an okay sign followed by some fag false flagging that the guys flashing a white power symbol and that he's offended.
>it's used almost exclusively by white nationalists
Guess all my diving buddys are secretly nazis in disguise.
neither did germany. it's not too impressive a feat.
White power can trace it roots back to 400+ BC
>No it's not. /pol/ wants me to accuse people of being Nazis when they actually mean okay.
Thatβs literally whatβs happened
Man, really diggin' that moustache on the guy
>Retards adopt something stupid.
>Other retards react stupidly.
Well at least no one has been retarded enough to ban milk.
This sounds like a lot of justification for falling for a blatant hoax
People are losing jobs over making the symbol which means they get to sock the guy in the shoulder if they look at it. All rules are off the fucking table, guy.
Don't forget drinking milk, liking frogs or going to a clown show. Only white nationalists do these things. We would be better off if we would simply get rid of all those code symbols and meeting spots.
>They're just saying this was their plan all along
And the fact that the explicitly stated this was their plan before any of this happened is purely coincidence.
You are so fucking stupid.
Yeah, so? When a MAGAchud in a red hat is making the OK sign at nothing in particular, he's not saying anything is okay, nor is he playing the circle game.
You know you probably think I'm liable to call a Buddhist temple Nazi architecture because it has Swastikas on it, but that's really your logic. Symbols can have multiple meanings depending on context. We don't have to pick the most popular one. We can't dictate to edgy frogposters that they're definitely NOT signalling white power when that is their intent.
Considering niggers can't swim, I think you might be on to something here.
So stupid youβd think itβs /pol/ falseflagging
>/pol/ wants me to accuse people of being Nazis when they actually mean okay.
that's the whole joke
and you fell for it
>Some faggot : "lol this gesture is white symbol power"
>Alt left faggot : "OMG it's a white supemacist symbol, ban it"
>Alt right faggot : "Hell yeah that's a white supremacist symbol. It's good when those alt left faggots are pissed off"
I really like how out of touch leftists are with society.
what did miyazaki mean by this?
>white people live in fear that anything they do can be described as a white power symbol and alt-right dogwhistle
The absolute state of the caucasian community.
>No it's not. /pol/ wants me to accuse people of being Nazis when they actually mean okay.
Iβm sure the people who are into competitive overwatch are using ok to βdogwhistleβ and not for emoji meme culture.
based obelix
If you're using it to signal agreement, it's pretty easy to tell that from context.
What's insane about saying some white nationalists use the ok gesture to signal they are white nationalists? That's a true statement.
Arguing with you fascists is so annoying. You either don't get what you're talking about or you just pretend not to, because you don't give a fuck about reaching a mutual understanding, you just want to fuck with people. And so we come to these pseudo-logical non-arguments that are nothing but filler. You know what the obvious refutation is going to be but you just want to stall the debate and annoy people into quitting.
>leftists ACTUALLY, LITERALLY, WHOLLY BELIEVE that a zoomer/millenial joke is actually cryptic whtie nat code
This. I believe that there are people who even joke about it without knowing how or why it's seen that way, so I wouldn't call everyone who does it a nazi, but being aware of how or why it's used and making decisions as a dev based around that is important. I just don't think people are going to kill Lucio and spray the OK where they died, unless there's some alt-right competitive player or team I'm unaware of. Why would they even play Overwatch?
>there are the kind of anarcucks calling everyone bootlickers and dreaming of killings cops
fufufu....
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Lot of words for no argument
Not yet, but it's on their lsit.
Not only is it a stormfront, it's a white one too.
Someone, get the peanut gallery on this STAT.
i paid overwatch 40β¬ when am i in this pic ?
>Board using subversive propaganda is having their propaganda be subversive
/pol/ is literally just nu-Yea Forums, there is nothing more there than the desire to fuck with as much as possible. Who gives a fuck what they want or think, it doesn't change what what the effects are.
Get out of here with the "You're only doing what they want" shit, they aren't playing a game they lose because they don't go in with a losing condition. It's a case of "the only winning move is not to play" and the only way to not play into propaganda is to be knowledgeable of how it works and it's underlying intention.
Are you just going to argue semantics instead of my point and also assume that just because I think you're a retard means I'm leftist?
When?
It's not pseudo-logic I laid out a fucking syllogism for your dumb ass.
Arguing with leftists is so annoying because they redefine words to fit their argument and cry when you use facts and logic.
so this is the badass antifa nazi puncher
Can /pol/ and others just make ALL hand gestures into white power ones. Or perhaps like some really obscure action like
>Walking your dog
>Hiking
>Buying food
>Using the urinal
>High 5s
>Handshakes
I am sure it could be done. Just make breathing something racist
When white nationalists actually do it to perpetuate the meme and inadvertently make it true?
>Using the 'OK' hand gesture as a white power symbol
Now how exactly did they do that other than saying "this is a white power symbol"?
No, you fucking moron, they explicitly stated their plan was the former thing, the one I am explicitly not doing, which is why I said that was what /pol/ wanted, because I saw them say it. How are you all so fucking terrible at making sense of simple sentences? You make what should be simple conversations a chore.
>blacks have to fear wearing the wrong colors in the wrong neighborhoods
>blacks have to fear being the wrong color in the wrong neighborhoods
>gays have to fear where they show any sign of affection
>white people have to be careful not to randomly flash uncomfortable hand signal
Gamers truly are the most oppressed demographic.
You're not arguing for their benefit. They're obviously disingenuous.
You're arguing for anyone else reading.
Yea I totally forgot that the guy in this story was wearing a maga hat
When liberals were damage controlling sending death threats to covington they literally used pictures of the basketball team (including black kids doing it) giving an ok after scoring 3 points as βproofβ. You can just make up bullshit and claim itβs dogwhistling
I agree that a semantic argument is worthless if it's a side point but when the crux of your argument revolves around dog whistles that are in fact, not dog whistles, then it's highly relevant so that you adjust your argument or abandon it.
The term onions boy applied to everything, not just milk substitutes.
They already made "looking at a PoC" a racist thing.
You are their propaganda user. No one wants to look like you.
/pol/ was right
fuck outrage culture and fuck the media

>Therefore that symbol is a white supremacist symbol
Literally the same reasoning behind one article talking about Aiden Guillen's connection to the alt right despite /pol/ not using CIA as a "political" shitpost.
>using ok to βdogwhistleβ and not for emoji meme culture.
As if there's a difference? No such thing as "ironic" white supremacism.
No one is you silly fuck! You desperately want it to be true because you can't stop thinking about a irrelevant group of extremist. Paranoid as fuck my dude!
Dude, chill. They're only doing it ironically.
How strong is /pol/βs memetics? Did they actually elect the president
Blacks have that fear because of other blacks. It's not society as a whole's fault that niggers form gangs and kill people over petty shit like that.
Also it's the other way around. I'm always spooked when I have to go through a ghetto for my work. Blacks feel more comfortable in white neighborhoods than I ever would in a black one.
No one likes PDA. No one gives a fuck if too guys are holding hands. Everyone gets uncomfortable if anyone kisses
>Yeah but subversive propaganda only works on SOME people so the use of it is okay!
You do know that racism here used to be an in joke and that people got doxed when they were being racist legitimately right? It's almost like inviting the possibility through humor only lets in the humorless, and the lack of observation of this only allows discourse to shift towards the minority and away from the majority.
In process of taking the rainbows. With clowns becoming secret symbol of 3rd Reich, /pol/ can restart the claim that rainbow symbolizes diversity of separating races and how mixing all the colors together turns into muddy brown.
With the rise of concern trolling, trolls became kings.
>the only way to not play into propaganda is to be knowledgeable of how it works and it's underlying intention.
Of course when you try to spread awareness they'll say that's playing right into their hand, too. But then again, they're just doing that to fuck with you.
>What's insane about saying some white nationalists use the ok gesture to signal they are white nationalists? That's a true statement.
It's literally a demonstrably false statement. They do it for the sole purpose of fucking with the media. You just took the bait and that makes you retarded.
>My work colleague does the okay sign all the time and has done for years.

It's a real shame too, he was a 60 year old man who was unbelievably nice to people and had no idea it was now a hate sign. He really needed the job too but he'll never get another one now.
But you've got to report if you want to better society
>>>Using the urinal
Dunno why the fuck did I ended up quoting this.
Wait really? Did we meme it so hard that they starting to censor it?
This hit close to home. So many people in this thread right now paid $60 for Overwatch.
Nope. Not even close retard.

Its also not propaganda period because it has 0 rhetorical component. Dont fucking spew memewords you don't understand.
But it is a Nazi Hate Symbol. Remember is Inglorious Basterds when he says he'll have three beers and he puts up his three middle fingers. The Nazis know he's not one of them because they put up the OK sign when they show the number three. Hence, that is why it's a White Nationalist Nazi symbol.
By using it. As I said. They weren't simply saying "hey when other people do this they mean white power". They started using it themselves.

You are the reason Yea Forums became terrible. I hope you fucking die.

How would you phrase it?
fucking hell
"And then people stood up and clapped and Nancy Pelosi helped a man circumcize his daughter and then told me she was on her way to fuck some kids in a pizza restaurant basement"

It's literally reality.
Merely observing that something is factually happening is not giving it power. /pol/ was already giving it power.

Breathing has no symbolic value you retard, everyone does it all the time, it has no context.
No one used it as a white power symbol lol. Press made it up cause of some youtubers (Lauren Southern/Saphiro, etc), which arenΒ΄t even Alt-Right used that random gesture. Then /pol/ helped to keep the ball rolling to show normies how retarded the "everything is nazi" is so MSM loses credit
Speak for yourself faggot lover. I get disgusted when I see 2 dudes kiss. Itβs fucking gross.
Did you even see OP's post?
nice vidya game thread we got going here
lots of discussion and its totally, most definitely on topic
ahem
FUCK RESETERA AND FUCK THE MEDIA
It's not. /pol/ memed it and the media browsing /pol/ swallowed the bait EVEN THOUGH every thread about memeing it said it was a ruse.
Fanta actually was a Nazi product.
Coke shill trying to false falseflag.
Yea Forums was a much better place before people on the autism spectrum started coming here.
1st October 2003.
Dog whistles are signals that are INTENDED to be heard only by the intended audience.
Shouldn't that be obvious? Wouldn't the alternative be that learning about the existence of a dogwhistle automatically makes you a racist?
what if i breathe real hard
like really really hard
>>The left: "okay now we can see it's actually starting to be used as a white power symbol"
literally, LITERALLY giving it the power you're so scared of. CONSCIOUSLY deciding that it's white nationalist code. there's no other way of looking at it.
>blacks have to fear being the wrong color in the wrong neighborhoods
I'm absolutely terrified of going into black neighborhoods. I have no business being there anyway
the funniest thing is that the whole "be aware of the alt right dogwhistling" shit was started by that contrapoints tranny faggot
Yeah, it doesn't seem to be about anyone being accused of being a Nazi
wheres your original citation?

This is demonstrably false, for example Yahweh is named to simulate breathing

Like I said user, this kind of shit doesn't have a lose condition, that's not how it was set up. You are fucking retarded if you think otherwise because they, unlike every other retard, knew what they were doing. This shit isn't hard and is literally doable by fucking anyone, it just gets away from you every time, /pol/ just doesn't care if it does because their goal is just explicitly to shit everything up.
The mistake is believing they have any actual goal, or any desire to advance any individual policy or belief, they are stateless anarchists user, their only desire is to make you run in circles and burn yourself and your countrymen to the ground while they observe. They don't have any beliefs.
Sure smells like incel in here.
The let had no say in this at all. They merely observed the right doing this. They didn't give it power by doing so. They weren't "scared" of it. They didn't decide for the white nationalists what their code was. You just don't understand how this works at all. You're asking people to deny reality.
>All those years drinking Fanta lemon and didn't know it was actually a Nazi invention
Germans are based sometimes
Everyone just look at this thread if you need further confirmation that leftists are retarded.
You can tell with proof that the plan was getting an innocent symbol associated with white nationalism all along to show how clinically insane the left is, but they will still not understand it and keep telling you it's actually a real dog whistle.
>tfw this will unironically happen in the future.
You really are incapable of self-reflection huh
I'll just arrest this random person for this crime he didn't commit.
It's ok because he probably did something bad before anyway
What? What do you want a citation for? I'm asking you to show me someone who undeservedly got in trouble.
Dog whistles aren't intended to be hidden from the people on the lookout for them, they're intended to be hidden from the clueless centre.
I said there were two possibilities, what you suggest is one of them but it's not particularly reasonable. It's more reasonable to assume that they are not dog whistles, especially the ones regularly discusses because they are so well know or even openly admitted to that they amount to little more than jokes. If so many people know that a dog whistle is a dog whistle, it is not a dog whistle.
But I think I can amend the whole argument.
Dog whistles are intended to be heard only by the intended audience.
The "okay symbol" is not intended to be witnessed by only the intended audience.
The "okay symbol" is therefor not a dog whistle.
Is there something in here you disagree with?
Itβs ok even if he didnβt do something bad he was probably dogwhistling for something bad
Except it isn't, and never was, an actual white power symbol
>PUNCH NAZIS
>cries when big bad white man pops her balloon
But user, once again, it's not a clever trick if the way you convince people is by actually associating it with white nationalism. It's not a prank if you actually hit someone. It's not a fake bomb threat if you plant a bomb. It's not a false flag if you mean what you say. You were supposed to make smoke without a fire so people would yell "fire", but you couldn't get them to do it until you went to the effort of lighting a fire.
>dogwhistle
>"leftist boogeyman !"
Out of curiosity, are people like Sargon of Akkad, Count Dankula, and Paul Joseph Watson "Nazis"?
This board is so infested with redditors that they genuinely think that there's anything wrong with racism in the first place lmao.
>Science says different breeds of dogs are smarter
>Every one denys it works this way in humans
This is the same argument creationist give when saying there is a difference between micro and macro evolution
>giving an ok sign is like planting a bomb
Maybe if you are mentally ill
>He believes this despite being on Yea Forums
How you can exist in a space where people take jokes aimed specifically at antagonizing a target, and make them way too fucking serious to rediculous levels to the point of causing cultural fucking shifts in a public space and say "Naw man, there couldn't possibly be someone retarded enough to think the joke is real" when there is now a fucking legitimate incel movement.
Fun fact retard, if someone can be dumb enough to believe that a joke is serious on one side of the joke, there exists the possibility of that retard existing on the opposite end. Bait can attract multiple fishes faggot
nazis will thrive no more
Oh and this also doubles as a tactic for trying to make the people on the lookout for the changing codes used to discuss things that would get their views shut down in public discourse to look the fool. It's a dishonest tactic that relies on the fact that liberals will concede to nazis before the opposition.
>because they are so well know or even openly admitted to that they amount to little more than jokes. If so many people know that a dog whistle is a dog whistle, it is not a dog whistle.
That's literally why it works so well. Your logic is "this is a really effective method of dissemination of the idea to it's core audience and the only people who will take it seriously aren't the people we're looking to be sneaky around anyway, thus it's not real." That's exactly what you say to keep clueless liberals clueless.
>I said there were two possibilities, what you suggest is one of them but it's not particularly reasonable.
Yet it is what your logic suggests to be generally true, which shows it to be ridiculous, which is why it is invalid and cannot support your alternative conclusion either. Because once again, the premise is flawed.
>The "okay symbol" is not intended to be witnessed by only the intended audience.
>The "okay symbol" is therefor not a dog whistle.
I disagree with these two.
wait does that mean Pacha is a nazi now?
There aren't different breeds of humans, idiot. That race realism bullshit was debunked a thousand years ago.
>ahah look i'm smart because i call myself racist on a vidya games board
He means correlation isn't causation, and that fact of life is the holy water that burns /pol/'s thin skin.
In this classic case it probably has to do with social inequality and discrimination keeping most minority groups in lower income brackets. That means fewer of them can afford higher education, or even healthier diets to feed their brains growing up. See, that's a perfectly plausible explanation for the statistic. It's just not the one /pol/tards want to acknowledge, because they're trying to work backwards from a hateful conclusion they already made long before.
You're partly right, it wasn't one, until you made it one, and now it is. That is how symbols work.
>That's literally why it works so well. Your logic is "this is a really effective method of dissemination of the idea to it's core audience and the only people who will take it seriously aren't the people we're looking to be sneaky around anyway, thus it's not real." That's exactly what you say to keep clueless liberals clueless.
Thatβs not why it works. It works because liberals ban the OK sign and everyone is really confused.
Will they ban milk too?
Cite to me how you know that the people using the hand symbol are actually racist
>mongolian fingerprinting forum posters explicitly make troll
>leftist fall for it hook line and sinker
>rather than admitting they got pranked, they actually go all the way and swallow the entire pole.
/pol/ could take LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL and make you believe it's a dogwhistle, all they have to do is push the joke hard enough. IMAGINE being so OBSESSED with ebil naughtsees that you jump at shadows.
It's used as a joke about how liberals don't like white nationalism and cryptofascism.
>These Antifa are crazy
They're close enough to go to the gulag too
Leftists are self-defeating itβs no coincidence that the only people they are capable of beating out their own citizens
We only have one breed though.
The others (such as the Neanderthal) died out. Its just us now.
This
The Human Population was reduced to some 4,000 members about 40,000 years ago and then rapidly spread across the world.
There wouldn't be enough time to evolve into a different species.
don't you guys get tired of the same threads every day?
>cryptofacism
reddit buzzword
If the symbol's meaning was meant to be kept secret it's one of the worst attempts at secrecy I've ever seen in my life. Going so far as to repeatedly discuss the plan on a public message board. But okay.
We all become embarrassed of our posts user, our shame internal and only ours to bare, noone knowing of your own personal failings after the fact and having it drag your soul in ways you will never escape.
Keep telling yourself otherwise, it will never stop coming for you.
They're like little children
>I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!
>Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!
And then when people respond by calling them a little shit they cry they didn't do nuffin
>/pol/ could take LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL and make you believe it's a dogwhistle
Do you think there is a fucking list of things that are acceptable to be used for signalling that you're in the "own the libs" coalition?
wooow calm down boyo, people in here are still not ready for the truth, you must soothe them with wojaks and pepe and dank memes before dropping truth bombs
How are you this stupid.
It was a proof of concept that you can make anything taboo nowadays with how insane the left is.
The normal response would have been to ignore the trolling since any sane person knows what the okay hand means.
The left in their rabid attempt to shut down everything they perceive as opposing their views however will just ban it.
That was the intention from the start. Showing how far gone and unreasonable the left is and they fell for it hook line and sinker.
You mean the racists who used to to tell people they're racist? Context.
Pussy Riot are a bunch of retards, I hope Putin finds an excuse to lock them up again.
If you want a safespace you can go to reddit.
fucking fascist popped my balloon right in my face
THIS IS TRUE OPPRESSION
there will be when you keep falling for it
>Fun fact retard, if someone can be dumb enough to believe that a joke is serious on one side of the joke, there exists the possibility of that retard existing on the opposite end. Bait can attract multiple fishes faggot
Except we have examples of this happening on one side of the spectrum. Lefties honestly believe the okay symbol is a white power symbol. Can you give me examples of people on the right who have used the symbol to show that they're a white nationalist rather than just using it to fuck with the media? I know of no such examples.
Current liberals are literally cryptofascists tho.
>you can make anything taboo nowadays
You have always been able to make anything taboo. But go ahead, show me a single place where the ok sign is universally banned in every context.
It's not so much secret as plausibly deniable. 1488 is also well known but Nazis still sneak it into loads of shit. Those in the know will see it as a nod to them, they'll go "based /ourguy/", but to everyone else of course it's "just a coincidence" and how dare they suggest otherwise.
