Remember when right wingers on 4chan decided to "troll" people into thinking the "OK" hand sign was actually a White Supremacist dog whistle symbolizing the letters "WP" for "White Power", but then a ton of actual neo-Nazis, skin heads, and other forms of actual White Supermacists just adopted the sign as a new dog whistle making the "troll" retroactively just... true... and making everyone "trolling" for a laugh just unironically normalizing white supremacy and it's identifiers?

Sorry, that was a weird tangent... what was the topic again?
