Don't know why you're all mad at me, I didn't coopt the symbol for a racist agenda and ruin your fun. That's the trouble with Nazis and bigots (among other things), they take something kinda fun and interesting, like an internet punching game, Nordic runes, the number 88, Tibetan symbols, Mazdas, comic book characters, America, etc and totally ruin it for everyone.

I get that the fingers is a funny internet game and all, but a dude with a decal on his car is likely more showing the more modern interpretation of the hand symbol; white power, alt right bullshit.
