It’s just a meaningless gesture why are you upset.

🤏

Edit: let me clarify that - people who are saying Musk’s gesture doesn’t mean anything, are the same people getting offended when they see pinching fingers…

What do the pinching fingers mean, or are said to mean?

So if I were to rest my chin on my hand while thinking something and accidentally move my fingers upto my lips, people will now start having a problem.

If this keeps going on, a few centuries down the line, we will have to tape our wrists behind our backs while walking around town because doing anything with our hands would be some kind of gesture. And then, because even that will have become some kind of gesture, we would have to amputate our arms from birth to prevent ourselves from offending someone.?

Jokes aside, this symbolism stuff is getting out of hand, with stuff like - women getting beaten up by some anti-feminism fan for having short hair and age old traditional symbols being seen in a bad light, just because a genocidal government plagiarized it.

Why is it that we are collectively ignoring useful stuff from events throughout history, while causing random symbolisms to stay relevant for so long that they are hindering our quality of life?

I actually like it, but, I suppose, I like to use commas.

Commas are great for lists, and for combining two sentences into one using a conjunction like and, or, but, etc.; like I just did.

If you made each side of the comma a sentence then arguably neither would make a complete sentence.

but, you know, english isn’t everybods native language, so i don’t give a fuck, if someone puts a comma somewhere, where they shouldn’t.

In your opinion, were there too many commas in my original comment? (Serious question)

Edit: just because I’m curious. I like my writing to be at least somewhat proper.

You can have a problem with both. Both gestures caused a negative action.
