I was clumsily replying to two different things in one post!

Roussette · 01/04/2023 12:47

I'm still at a loss to be honest. But hey ho, onward and upward.

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 12:48

No worries @StormzyinaTCup , I'm not the judge of you! 🤣🤣🤣

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 12:51

How someone referring to politics, the origin of the hoax, somehow needs to yet again clarify their remark is beyond me.

No worries @Roussette , my fault for not naming the poster outright, I didn't want to embarrass them and they got called out on that thread anyway, I'm assuming as they have removed their own posts they are contrite.

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 13:00

@Whaeanui , yes judging by the symbol used it could be the a ok symbol? , yes the nz stuff was shocking! , I think you're right about that.

kevin was Kevin McCarthy (US speaker of the house) I’ve no idea why I typed his name 🤣
it’s the Trump talk I guess

I was wondering! I knew Kavanaugh was a Brett so couldn't work it out! No worries.

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 13:25

I still can’t believe it became a real thing, and that people still think it in 2022, and that a nz media outlet accused someone based on a total hoax and got away with it ( the person was branded a nazi and assaulted FYI )

Here we have Stephen Fry himself being accused and refusing to stop using it, good on him!

Stephen Fry accused of using alt-right gesture instead of OK symbol

Stephen Fry was accused of using an alt-right gesture after he used the OK symbol in a tweet about mental health.

I'm shocked 😮, I didn't know anything about this!
Awful the way things are twisted, thanks for bringing this up !
God knows what we could be unknowingly accused of next!

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 13:33

I know right?! It’s just ridiculous. It’s one of the most bizarre things to happen in terms of cancel culture.

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 13:37

Indeed! , I know this is the wrong board , so I won't go into it here , but I think you post on s&g occasionally too? 😉 , so assume what you're thinking, I'm thinking too!

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 14:42

@jeffgoldblum ah yes you are right! 😉

Seeing as you have addressed me personally with a load of codswallap !
Yes @PlanetLuna , you were the poster in question and you made the allegation, you may have removed your post but there is still a quote from another poster with what you posted.
I posted two comments on that thread that are still there , I advise people to go and read what was said .
You can't change the narrative and play the victim after the event.
Also I deliberately didn't name you .

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 15:29

I'm sorry @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet , I hope this doesn't derail the thread .

MarshaMelrose · 01/04/2023 15:38

I do still think it’s highly unlikely Camilla would do that kind of thing on purpose.

Highly unlikely. 🤔 That's big of you.😂

GrinAndVomit · 01/04/2023 15:55

@PlanetLuna it must be incredibly frustrating to feel that your words have been twisted and used disingenuously to misrepresent what you wrote.
It must be even worse when a number of posters all then join in to support that misrepresentation.
Hand hold.

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 16:00

It’s not just highly unlikely it’s completely and totally not deliberate. Most people are unaware of it and honestly, even if we are, why should we stop because revolting extremists try and adopt it? What if they used a hand wave as a sign somehow? Should we stop waving? I only became aware of it because a far left nz news channel deliberately and purposefully wanted to paint a womens rights campaigner as a nazi in order to stop her and other women speaking just this past week. Otherwise I would have no idea about it. This woman btw, was in NZ attending an event hosted by Maori women, long time Māori rights campaigners. They are also now being called Nazis and one of them has a broken foot because the deliberate smear caused huge violence. Now it’s not up to me what people want to do with this information, but may I suggest that the way to deal with this would be to not repeat the claim, even in jest, if you see someone make this ludicrous connection. I know nobody on the forum actually accused Camilla, but even repeating that someone else did, without the background information, could be very damaging. As I’ve just explained. Those of us aware it’s a hoax will get it, those unaware will not. After the hoax, just to illustrate that most don’t know about it, Obama was pictured doing it, Jacinda Ardern, many many others.

Anyhow, I do think once somebody here has realised their error and removed their post then people should just leave it alone. It doesn’t seem like anyone else here was aware of this so let’s just assume no ill intent by other posters and move on. Both the supremacists and the idiots on 4chan are not worth falling out or arguing over IMO.

It’s very frustrating that this symbol is being co-opted. Lots of Twitter hate from the sussexsquad peeps when Kate and William were filed scuba diving in the Bahamas and were using the OK symbol.

You absolutely HAVE to use that symbol regularly when you are diving to reassure your diving buddy that everything is fine and you are not in trouble. It’s a key part of diving communication.

Thank you @jeffgoldblum you know this kind of argument is what 4chan dudes want and I think this forum is way better than that! Have a good weekend 👍🏾

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 16:06

@wordler yes!! I used the diving example when I made the complaint to the media outlet that did it.

I was asked by MN to change my previous user name because it had 8888 at the end. I think it used to be used on teletext when I was a kid?? No idea and it was just some random numbers i chose randomly. Anyway its a white supremacist thing. Much embarrassed was I

The hand thing was an american gesture to say 'OK' or something similar.
