Young male gamers in South Korea thought it resembled a gesture used to poke fun at the size of men’s penises.

The point isn’t that someone has a tiny dick. The point is that someone is trying to overcompensate their toxic masculinity to account for it. Its like when someone speeds in a huge car in the middle of the city centre.

Well fair, but using toxic stereotypes, even ironically, doesn’t seem to be the way to dismantle that stereotype. It’s like if a woman made fun of a man for liking pegging, and I call her a whore. No one should value a person based on their genitals or how many people they sleep with.
