Original Note:
This is a hoax. In 2017, the “okay” hand gesture acquired a new and different significance thanks to a hoax by members of the website 4chan to falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters “wp,” for “white power.” https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/okay-hand-gesture
