Iirc, wasn’t this made a white supremisist symbol specifically after people jokingly or mistakenly called it one?
Like, it was a perfectly okay hand gesture, then some dude on 4chan said it’s a racist symbol (Maybe joking maybe not) some people bought into it and real racists started using it as a calling card?
4chan jokes they should pretend the okay hand sign is a white supremacist dog whistle to trigger libs.
They do and it works.
Online shitters who’s whole personality is “triggering sjw’s” pick up on this and perpetuate the joke to continue to trigger people.
Basically people getting mad at a joke caused it to become a real thing to some degree. While not a supremacist symbol it was heavily used by them for a time.

Correct me if I’m wrong.
My understanding of the event:
