You are aware that sign means "peace" right?

Like, the opposite of nuking.

Just thought I would tell you.

Why is OP so obsessed about posting reaction images, when someone inquires about his obsession of Japan's obsession of hand gestures?

>> No.4634006,1 [INTERNAL] 

1) Your country gets nuked (only country to get nuked in history ever)
2) People come up with a symbol that is used to protest against nukes
3) You adopt the gesture representing this symbol as your standard expression for photographs

How is this hard to understand? It's completely logical they would like it.

>> No.4634006,2 [INTERNAL] 

>>4634006,1
If that's the case then it's really pathetic. So basically what you're saying is that whenever we see a photo of some Japanese kids making those hand gestures they're basically saying "please don't nuke us again gaijin-sama."

>> No.4634006,3 [INTERNAL] 

But Chinese people (and probably Koreans) do it all the time too when posing for photos. It's just an East Asian thing now and pretty much meaningless--maybe in the past people did it to represent peace or whatever, but not any more.

>> No.4634006,4 [INTERNAL] 

>>4634006,2
I see it more as "Nukes are evil. Look what they did to us poor Japanese people who did nothing to deserve such treatment."
