Maybe there’s video from previous years where they’re doing this.

I mean the kind of people that fall for that are the sort of people that call everyone a racist anyway. So some people just have fun making their heads explode. Immature yes. But it's funny.

It’s not like a reasonable person is looking at that video and thinking the kkk infiltrated the army. I see some dude that probably hangs out on 4-Chan and makes offensive comments to people when playing x-box.

Why would you by looking at that automatically go there?

Because I imagine people playing the circle game also think it’s fun because it could offend people.

It still doesn’t make any sense to me. I understand that it’s just the ok symbol, but if your making the symbol because people think it’s a white power symbol, how is that different?
It's the troll society that we live in.

Not really much weirder than automatically assuming they are obviously playing the circle game, which is sometimes played by a few of my immature 7th graders.

Actually it’s a lot weirder than that. Thinking these people are 4chan hoaxers/trolls and thinking the OK symbol is racist are beyond weird.

And yes.... people are probably doing the “symbol” now because they want to troll morons that actually believe it is a white power symbol. They are college kids. Are some of you here saying you didn’t troll people or act immature in college?

When I posted it I wrote, “Why would they think that’s a good idea?” I would guess they’re probably just immature.

So again, how is it a hoax to make people think you are racist for the lulz?

It’s a hoax because everyone who does it is only doing it to make libtards like us enraged. There is no one who does it with actual racial undertones.

Or, people are just playing the circle game (although in this specific case still trying to find the punch Freddy referenced).

You could find people using any symbol for hate. Just because there are people who use a symbol for hate doesn’t mean it should be considered a hate symbol since a a very ridiculously low amount of people actually do use them for that.

Is it stupid to troll people like this? Yes.

Are people who believe it’s a hate symbol even more stupid than those who troll? Yes.

The last sentence is wrong. Trolling is an inherently stupid and pathetic act. It’s done by attention seekers and reflects bad character.

Sure. But believing everything to be racist or reacting like it is even more pathetic or stupid.

I don't agree with them if that makes you feel better.

Why is it worse to be fooled by something vs being the one fooling them?
