Time to go back to the 'OK' hand gesture at least that is safe and won't be misinterpreted.

People older then 40 making TikTok videos really annoy me...

I'm probably being ageist(?), whatever...

40+, quick cuts and close up ring lights talking about emojis on tiktok we all agree on being annoying.

 

[AJUMP23]

Everything is offensive.

I agree - also people 40 and under.

Just like "Ok" it's context.

I can either mean ok, fuck you whatever.
Or OK, Roger that, affirmative.

This is why the world laughs at America for dumb shit like this ontop the already dumb stuff going around.

But to be fair, some hand signals are offensive depending on the country but this seems out of the blue offended because they ran out of what else to take offense with.

One of the most universal symbols in the world and people don't understand it. Get the fuck out of here with this bollocks.

Outside of scuba diving, it can definitely be misinterpreted.

Gen Zedders trying to be hip can jog on.

What's the reason given for all this anyway?

(I tried to find that Miyamoto gif of him doing the thumbs down/up but it didn't work)

 

[Power Pro]

What the hell? I use thumbs up irl all the time when trying to show a positive reaction...when the fuck will this kind of shit end? what's wrong with it!?!

also, fuck these people, the thumbs up is great

 

[sharp weiner]

Gonna have to give a big thumbs down to Gen z on this one

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Ok, can someone explain to me the issue with thumbs up? My daughter doesn’t yet have a phone and social media cancer so I can’t ask her.

 

[Bloobs]

 

[KrakenIPA]

Most of my texts consist of a happy face and then a thumbs up. I am consistently concise.

 

[ShadowNate]

There's no chance in hell I'm going back to +1, +1000, +infinite shitty phase.

Also, the argument is stupid

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's taken sarcastically? Like "Cool story bro!"/ "Gee, Thanks a lot!" / "Thaaaaaaanks!".
Completely dumb.

If we can't use thumbs up for un-ironic agreement or thanks, what are we supposed to use instead?

Don’t young people want to be edgy and every time they get defensive it’s “it was a joke, bro!”?
Guess what, mine was as well!

 

[Garibaldi]

What's the context here? I basically have no other hand gesture than the thumbs up. I really don't want my house getting burnt down cos it's now a sign of devil worship or something.

Sounds like the perfect reply to "ok, boomer!"

This might just be the most thin skinned generation of all time. What a waste of human DNA.

It's ruined by Bill Trinens weird tongue laugh though.
