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

I just looked a bit more into this. There is a whole history of scrutinizing Nexon’s material and then screen capping single frames of animation to “prove” they are sneaking in this “misandrist” hand gesture. Looking at a back log of these this is on the level of those people presenting a single frame of someone like Beyonce on stage, and claiming what they captured clearly shows she is making satanic hand gestures.
