          I thought my hand gesture was a chef’s kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you’re on about.

                Probably because telling a man he has a small dick is okay but saying a woman has a loose pussy isn’t

              that radical feminist groups have propagated these hidden messages to humiliate men with small penises

              Why would radical feminists target men with small penises? They’re probably already naturally humiliated, right? It’s the big dick men who need to be taken down a notch.

            It is Italian, but doesn’t mean what you think it means. Wanted to look up a link for the emoji but my European search alternative only showed results for the gesture in general. So here a Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_vuoi%3F

            Also, in related news, today I learned:

            In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (machende) in the Bantu language Chichewa.

              Thanks for the info. Still the other response is quite confusing even with the conspiracy theory.

                It’s a sideways chefs kiss. Also, something, something, penis size.

                  I could agree it is someone holding an invisible cigarette but I have not ever seen someone do a chefs kiss with the two fingers apart or sideways, let alone both.

      Okay… 2023? How did I miss this? That can’t be real. Is it real? Maybe this really is all a simulation. But, like, it’s just a game of Sims, and the player started getting bored… It sure would explain a lot.

        At least we know whoever designed the simulation appreciates phallic humor.
