Yeah, it goes to show a little worn tunic with a pretty much modern, brightly colored and microfiber machine woven, elastic hand, arm and head accessories. Also, mixes high society attire with regular folk attire.
Overall a nice picture to look at, but nowhere near accurate.
An inverted positioning by having the back of your hand seen, making the gesture downwards instead of upwards, and a general irrelevance of the other fingers than thumb and index finger is widely used as a slur to indicate a person is gay.
Other than both symbols making a chamber using thumb and index fingers, yeah A OK and that has no relation at all.
And on the topic of “The Fig”, I have never seen it used to indicate vagina. It has always been a very rude rejection of a request or a simple taunt similar to showing one’s ass in a “kiss my ass” kind of meaning. At least from what I have seen in my childhood and teenager years, this had no open meaning about vagina, although it is not far fetched to have it mean “pussy/chicken” as a similar taunt.
Witcher 2 with its semi-open-semi-linear gameplay has definitely been a better experience in terms of pacing and story. Witcher 3 had quite the environment to wander around in a slow pace and is a much, much larger game with a good enough polish in my opinion, but can be very overwhelming with how many hours it requires for a balanced gameplay.
Why compile your own when you can just download?
Can we get gun and personal shield versions soon?
Your T is already capital!
Never seen anything like this in Turkey. We have a simple red on white “E” (first letter of Eczane=Pharmacy) with maybe very timid color change animations, time and/or temperature switches.
As others have pointed out, these look like quite the distracting and cyberpunk dystopian ad signs, most unexpected for a core health institution.
It is so cartoonishly evil that a person with a sane mind would think it is a deliberate act to make sure any of these backwards ideas don’t see the light of day separately by being bundled together for extra vileness multiplier as a rigid lesson, but alas we live in a society.
Hmm, yeah I see that it was someone else. I apologize, I should have noticed it and directed my criticism towards the thread starter.
Seriously, dude. While I can understand and share the angst against a lot of topics and the urge to bring them out whenever I see something contextually related, going off by a set topic in a wider context without having the relevant topic at hand isn’t fruitful.
Do you anti-war protesting, do your part against western downplay, denial of or distraction from their colonial crimes and related heinous acts. Do all of these without taking part in beating the dead (and/or wanted to be revived) U.S.S.R / CCP bashing even, thus being focused on one side in your criticism. But also learn to make a distinction between one topic and another in a context and to take part in that topic in relevant places.
I’m saying this by going from this comment chain, btw. I don’t have a habit of checking people’s comment history without being given a reason to do so.
Oh man, that has to be some rare joy to keep having for the rest of their lives.
Great excuse to radicalize people for blood thirst and war, isn’t it?
There’s nothing to be afraid of.
It is a reference to the lines of the film actor of the captain of Titanic in the 1997 film being the same actor who played King Theoden of Rohan (a horse-riding people) in the Lord of The Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson.
It is the right move. Everything aside, this is a political symbol that has no place in football. With everything considered, it is a symbol used by the extremist arms of a right-wing, nationalist party, which is known for its gang-like political killings in the 80s. Their ideology is closer to phrenology.
It is a fascist symbol and nothing else. Unfortunately it is not shunned as such, usually due to lack of official association, but definitely has no place in either an international display or for kids who have no idea about the history of those who use it.
Hmm, yeah hadn’t thought of that part.
Thesis on social media as a vector for radicalisation and social contagion? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of social media? Localized entirely within your Lemmy user?
May we see it?
We need a gif of the model, too.
It can vary from place to place and group to group I guess. These things hardly have the same meaning in a general population. They sometimes even derive more meanings. The top comment (by u/soulreaverdan) in this reddit post suggest that it is a 90s joke with somewhat meaning a “got you” or derivatively derogatory “you got cucked/you are a bottom” among teens horsing around.
Never heard of the political or in-group meanings, tho.
But definitely not something a lot of mildly unruly teens would use. It was more of a bully or toxic alpha male thing back when I was a teen. I don’t see it anymore, either, thankfully.
