A member of the US Coast Guard's Hurricaine response team was removed from his post after NBC cameras caught him signalling everything is alright by flashing the "OK" hand sign (archived). In the last month members of the pantsuit outrage machine have attempted to stigmatize this visual signal for denoting everything is alright with escalating outrage over incidents where cameras have captured mostly¹ white people using the common gesture as headline fodder.

The decision by the media outrage machine to latch onto an old meme developed between 2015 which attributed white power messages to a number of gestures including the entirety of the American Sign Language alphabet is the latest incident of humor being subjected to Hegelian frog boiling by the unyielding media social engineers. The habit of producing the "OK" symbol also happens to be ingrained in many Anglophones over the course of however many decades they have been alive ensuring plenty of unconsenting targets for the outrage machine to bring into their culture war.
