    Rorschach test were you give men increasingly abstract images and see if they complain about 🤏 in order to determine how much of a misogynist they are.

      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?

    misogyny in worst korea hits different. not that it isn't a global problem, but it's so mask off there. this is the misogyny equivalent of thinking that sabra hummus is a slur

      Usually a foreign version of misogyny feels dampened because you don't know their tired tropes and dogwhistles, so the way they're pushing it through those cultural barriers is impressive (bad impressive).

        so the way they're pushing it through those cultural barriers is impressive

        I wouldn't be surprised if many are influenced by white incels they find online

    Do we finally have our own ok sign dogwhistle?

    Besides, I'm anti-italian-action gestures like 🤏 and AyyyyyOC-big I can't help but make.

      I'm not a fan of small dick shaming, but I can also imagine the incredible rage if we responded to chuds with 🤏

    Don't worry, the Drej energy beam is much wider than that.
