    this character’s hand position is being blown out of proportion to be something it isn’t

    misogynists/incels are awful people, in this example claiming a character is making a ‘small pp’ hand gesture when that’s a stretch

    the emoji is sometimes used in a body-shaming way

    just because these people are ghouls and projecting things onto video game characters doesn’t mean body-shaming/misgendering/ableist/etc insults should be used

      I mean, in context? Okay, but randomly out of nowhere? Doing that gesture is so common for talking about anything small, even if it was exactly that, if someone isn't directing it at you, why would you take offense?

        Sometimes my fingers just do that, like... Accidentally or its between two other hand poses
