If you would have told me back in 2012 that I'd be writing a story about a couple of guys flashing the "Okay" hand gesture for a charity photo opp, I probably would have said "Great. That's awesome! In a nod to nostalgia, KOCO is rebranding to 5-Alive, and bringing back the thing where people wave "Okay" at TV cameras! Awesome!"
Unfortunately, we don't live in that utopian society.
Thanks to the efforts of right-wing message board losers, Qanon freaks, insurrectionists, skinheads, militiamen, facists, etc., the "Okay" hand gesture has transitioned from a harmless hand gesture to apparently a symbol for hate and white supremacy.
