Is the OK sign actually okay?

A handsome chap has been in touch.
The main image is a close-up of the OK sign - the thumb and adjoining finger cupped into a circle.
I believe this has become a symbol of white supremacists in recent years.
I'd love to say Yes, but the idea of getting up close and personal with a white supremacist is a complete turn-off.
What do you think? |

It started in early 2017 as a hoax when a web forum began what they called “Operation O-KKK,” to trick the wider world — and especially, liberals and the mainstream media — into believing that the innocuous gesture was actually a clandestine symbol of white power. It worked, too well and has now been taken on by the right wing. However....it’s also a silly game that’s loads of people play. L
So, just like the Union Jack, it’s meaning is all to do with context. |

So what do you think it means when a guy has it as their profile image? |

The whole thing started as a joke on a 4chan thread. It was deliberately designed to make the hard political left get outraged and upset about something completely innocent and innocuous. It’s nonsense. Hope this helps |

Do you think the person who does this is doing it for a joke?
To create wind-up threads like this? |

You mean having the ok hand gesture in their profile pic? I think they’re likely just making the ok hand gesture. The only people I’ve seen getting all bent out of shape about it are far left lunatics in America. |

It seems to be quite popular in Hungary and Poland, too. I just wondered if it might be spreading here.

I wouldn’t take it as anything other than the ok gesture |

I may be mistaken, but the ok sign with thumb & fingers pointing up does just mean ok, or you’re trying to do a rabbit shadow puppet.
It’s when people do it surreptitiously holding it downwards, maybe against their leg, that it’s some kind of weird ‘hey check me out I’m a white supremacist’ salute. |

I'd say your over thinking it especially if you haven't asked them about it, main problem with society these day not talking and just coming to your own conclusion. I suggest asking the person since could mean something innocent in their eyes |

"People read into things too much. Also you could try asking him?
Yes, ask hum if he's a nazi, bound to please him "
Well he deserve to know he’s chatting up someone that thinks such outlandish thoughts |
