Lol, not long ago someone on the chans decided, and it was agreed, to purposely meme that gesture as a symbol "white power" purely to # with normies.
Anyone who actually thinks that's what it represents is falling for a troll. The NZ shooter is obviously steeped in chan culture and only further messing with your heads.
Or all these guys representing white power too?
As they say on the chans, lurk moar!

Man, this whole NZ shooter has shown just how easily manipulated large numbers of people are.
It's sad.
He is sick in the head and taking full advantage of the media programming so many have allowed themselves to be susceptible.

I think you guys are missing it.
This whole event is full of double and triple entendre's. This douche muffin is all about mind-F#ing everyone, and he's winning at every step of the way. (don't let him!!)
Look, the symbol is about a stupid game, right? But, what exactly IS that game? The game is "look at me". Simple, right?
Not so fast! There's more. Yes, the game is "look at my hand", but in this case it's something more...
The terrorist attack wasn't about terrorism in the classic sense. No, this attack was about the "manifesto". The attack wasn't against Muslims as much as it is about creating a big enough flash-bang in the media to get people to...LOOK AT THE MANIFESTO!
The hand gesture is just another example of this..."look at my hand" (aka...look at me, and even more importantly, look at my manifesto)
This guy is a master at the Mind-F#, no question about it. And, he's getting away with it even behind bars!
